Why isn't The Archers funny? It doesn't do a great job of either intentional or unintentional humour. Unlike Not Ambridge. We have an electrician's mate. Since there aren't any of those in The Archers, let's call him EM. EM is sitting in the pub one evening, when one of the locals saunters in and in his way announces that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer the world has ever seen. Without missing a beat, EM declares that he thinks Tiger Woods is the saddest man he's ever heard of.
The incoming local incredulously enquires as to how EM could reach such a ridiculous conclusion.
With the attention of the whole pub on him, EM calmly, and with perfect timing replies,
"He doesn't have a hobby."
