I found this on Joe.My.God's blog this morning and I really enjoyed reading the comments.
Joe had said in his subject's description:
Funny? Not Funny?
"JMG reader Robert tips us to this bit from the sitcom Accidentally On Purpose, which retreads a somewhat familiar device: pretending to be gay but attached in order to fend off unwanted advances from your gay friend."
So gang, let's see what you, the IomFaTs POS crowd, makes of this clip:

If it were the UK I would say unfunny. It's just a variant on French Farce without running in and out of doors. We're over that "look at the queer" phase in our comedy.
For the US market I would say it is as funny as the Dick van Dyke show and as relevant to US society.
For we queers I would say it isn't even mildly offensive, it's just tedious

I vote funny, not hilarious, but just funny.
I may be a bad person to ask, I don't watch television anymore. Modern sit-coms are not amusing. Last episode I watched was Two and a Half Men. I counted two good laughs and 23 commercials, not worth it.
Gay characters are almost normal these days, every show needs one, or that seems to be the thought. I suppose that's considered television progress, but maybe it's more like the token black each show seemed to have in the 1960's.
I don't imagine those viewers in the Bible Belt will accept this show, Seinfeld it's not, but then that show was about nothing and I accepted that.

Now your innocence has disappeared with your youth, Timmy, you realise the burden of responsibility for that which lay on the shoulders of such attractive pupils.
