This made me laugh more than I should have
Meta? Hardlyknewa!
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool."
yeah, i don't want to give anyone the wrong impression here. i'm a complete hack. in years past i made attempts at open mics to perform but was horrible and haven't tried it in a long time and don't ever plan on attempting it again. i very much respect stand ups who can do it well, becuase if nothing else i have some appreciation for how difficult it is.
i had some better success writing sketches for a troupe that was pretty mediocre -- but at least it was fun.
i'm no professional and have no professional ambitions -- but I still love comedy and i still enjoy trying to write jokes and sketches and screenplays -- for whatever futile reason.
perhaps my insights here are worthless -- but i did my first open mic about 20 years ago and have been to many since. so i'm nothing more than an armchair comic myself -- and perhaps my years of observation and fandom are worth something or perhaps they aren'tm, but i can't quite resist giving my unsolicited opinions here from time to time. take them with a grain of salt or less... but i do feel passionate about comedy and hope to see others here succeed -- as long as they are fucking funny...
I think it's funny when other people think it's funny when they hear foreign people speaking a foreign language to each other. I was at the mall a few months ago with an old buddy and we sat in the food court next to a chinese couple that was currently involved in having a very serious chinese argument and my buddy just started cracking up, he just lost his minds with laughter. He didn't even hide it, either.. he hunched over in their direction and laughed right at them, as if their inability to speak English also included an inability to understand basic human fuckery.
Then I found myself laughing after realizing that on some level, this fuggin guy thought these people were either faking it; or retarded; or that they did understand each other, but what they were understanding was stupid gibberish and that's how they liked to live their lives -- screaming nonsense at each other.
I dunno, it needs some work... plus, I'm sure Carlin did it in 1974.. so what's the point.
what the fuck is going on in this thread? It's like a bad acid trip.
You've clearly never actually had a bad acid trip. A bad acid trip is more along the lines of: Of course the light of the sun bounces off of a mirror, god is not limited by walls! Three times seven means more than the mere number twenty-one, just like mirrors. I bet I could climb that.
(Then you fall off of it and die.)
I actually have had a bad acid trip. Took a triple stacked tab the first time i ever dropper acid and it was at a very large music festival (coachella) it was the worst idea i've ever had in my entire life. I ended up going to the first aid tent and laying down on a cot and shaking and being unable to breathe for like 8 hours. It was awful.
Also your description is great, it does indeed sound like this thread.
"Hey guys I've got a joke help me"
"That's terrible"
"You shouldn't say that's terrible"
"You're favorite comedian must be Larry The Cable Guy"
"blah"
Sorry you went through this experience, but for what it's worth this sounds like a good premise for a joke.
Yeah, i've had good trips and bad. The last time I ever tripped acid was when I was a groomsman in a wedding. Had about 300 people staring at me.
Best. Idea. Ever.
...and then I found ten dollars.
Oh trust me, I've been writing it. It's just a very long story but it's also very funny. I have a very long bit about the reason I don't do hallucinogens anymore but it's prefaced by a bit about how democrats and republicans don't exist. And then about how my friend told me the other day that a man that believes 2+2=5 is the same as a man who is devout in his religion and it made me say to him well I guess if that guys perception is that 2+2=5 then it does, for him. But I don't neeed to question what 2 IS, because then I'll question what one is and then I won't exist and that's the point where I go in to why I can't do hallucinogens. It's for when I actually have a full act I can do on stage rather doing open mics. I think it's funny.
Hope yr all well.

That sounds fucking TERRIFYING.
Yeah it was... I wasn't invited to be in his next wedding.
...and then I found ten dollars.
You guys are accumulating killer material left and right. Man, I need to get back into drugs!
I've been trying to whittle that story down into a polished bit for a while, but I put it on the shelf a couple months ago and haven't touched it.
Need to dust that one off soon, I reckon...
...and then I found ten dollars.
acid experiences make for bad stories to tell during job interviews though. like if you're asked if you consider yourself to be detail oriented, don't say yeah, one time i was on acid and.... because trust me you will be judged less by the quality of the anecdote than will seem fair.
A lot of people say that taking acid is like re-visiting how you saw the world as a child. I think that's true.. although back in '82 it wasn't considered "public masturbation" and kicking a clown in the balls didn't get me thrown in jail for public masturbation.
I only get runners high. and the only trips I take our canoe trips. I don't do drugs.
