    I'd dispute it's American humour, it's very much a trope established by British comedy such as Monty Python and carried on through programmes such as The Fast Show.

    The humour is in the repetition and the recognition that the punchline is coming is what appeals to some, it creates a feeling of being "in in the joke".

    Some American shows such as Family Guy have used this to great effect, though arguably the reliance on the repetition of punchlines has over time become the reason it has been deemed to have dropped in quality.

    As to whether Haymaker's excited response is humorous or humourless, that's up to the individual. Personally, I'm a fan.
    All true, but for repetition to be funny, it needs to be well timed, and repeated sparingly.

    Most sketch show have repeated gags, but only ever once per show.

    Think of Victor and Jack saying "2 pints prick" or Catherine Tate's Nan saying "What a f***ing liberty" etc etc.

    We're all waiting on the line, but we only got it once a week.

    Haymaker's gag is fine, but it would be funnier if it was used more sparingly, imo

    Rumours that he refused to play when Kennedy tried to sub him in yesterday
    Very unprofessional if true.

    And cowardly. IF it is true (may well be slavers of course) then I honestly don't want him here

    I’d be stunned if that was true about LG.

    I just can't believe that that's true.

    So they say. After yesterday’s shambles I think they’ll be looking at all possibilities for next season.
    Presumably their view will be well informed by Scott Brown's opinion on whether or not he'd be a worthwhile signing.

    Worth noting that no team in the country has more fictional ITK crap written about them than Celtic. It's sort of a meme at this point.

    That's not to say it's definitely untrue, but I'd be hesitant to believe it.

    You say that, but Scott Brown told McGregor to get sent off so he misses a game and is fresh when they play us to give Aberdeen the best possible chance of finishing 3rd...
