Anyway, different strokes and all, but it is puzzling that so many people on a message board that is pretty much a dick-themed amusement park find BL2 humor too much.
For me it's a combination of playing too much BL1 and thus being over exposed to the characters/story and also feeling the writing was just trying too hard to be edgy and self-aware with poorly presented jokes. Being ridiculous for the sake of it doesn't really do it for me unless it's woven into the fabric of the game (see Saints Row 3/4 or South Park). Now I don't hold my gripes about the sub-par writing* against the game, since I do think it's clearly superior to the first one, but I wish I didn't bother with BL1 and just went straight to 2.
