I truly can't be bothered to roll around in the cesspit of this thread, but Jesus fucking Christ the first poater ('Stilltripping6769') takes the biscuit for being so thick that he can't understand.
Wake me up when someone declares that The Beatles invented Monty Python. It won't take long to find, I'm sure.

As a Beatles fan this has bugged me as I feel I've been missing out on something. I've heard this reference a number of times over the years in reference to the humor in their songs like You Know My Name and just in general as well like in interviews but it's not clear what it means. When I think of "Goons" I think of "Hockey Goons" and they aren't very friendly, they're like enforcers whose job is to basically bully and beat up players on opposing teams. I would imagine what they think is funny is very degrading, insulting and bullying, whereas the Beatles humor is not, it's more like absurd and weird, so I'm puzzled.
Overall based on that I would not say that "Goon humor" is not a good way to describe the Beatles sense of humor and probably a new descriptor is needed. Any help is much appreciated.
