[edit] ZBS 'low humour'

This seemed a fair enough description to me. What about the excruciating 'Mole' puns in Ruby? I think it's reasonable to have something in this article contrasting the 'spiritual' side of ZBS's work with their willingness to have silly fun. Colonies Chris 17:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

(forgive me if I'm not using this correctly, I'm new to editing wikipedia) The use of the phrase "low humor" seemed to me to be a non-neutral value judgement on the quality and sort of humor used. On reflection, I should have perhaps replaced it with a more palatable term, but I wasn't sure how best to aknowledge the "silly fun" without implying that the humor is crude and valueless.

I'll try to think of some other way of describing this characteristic.
The whole article could do with some expansion, but I don't know much about them beyond what's on their website. Certainly there needs to be something about Meatball Fulton, and maybe a mention of the core group of actors who often appear in so many works. Colonies Chris 09:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


I've suggested expanding the article to the friend of mine who introduced me to ZBS, who is a bit of a fanatic. In his "copious free time" he plans to do so.

As far as the word choice...(and I mean this with no malice or ill feelings whatsoever, but rather with a big smile) if you don't like it, edit it! I _love_ wiki.
