+I've realised that I dislike a certain type of comedy that is fairly
+popular, however I can't quite put my finger on what it's called. I'm currently
+defining the type by a group of works I've read that I've not really enjoyed
+which all gave me a siliar vibe. The group is Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams
+books, as well as Monty Python movies.
+
+The realisation came to me while I was reading the first chapter[^1] of [Beware of
+Chicken](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/39408/beware-of-chicken), which is a
+highly rated progression fantasy series that also gave me that same vibe.
+
+Obviously, no beef with anyone that likes said comedies, but they're just not my
+cup of tea.
+
+I think that the most accurate descriptors are satirical comedy, tongue-in-cheek
+comedy or over-the-top comedy, but none of them fit the bill completely.
+
+[^1]: Note: I'm writing this right after reading chapter one, but I'm still going to
+read a dozen more chapters to find out whether I'll like other aspects of the
+series
