A Night At The Laughatorium
Saturday, May 19th, 2007Terrible jokes will always remain terrible, unless the person subjecting you to these jokes gets hurt in some way. Then that is highbrow, or as I call it high art comedy.
For example, it’s like having a documentary team follow around an annoying TV kids show clown so you can get to see his daily life. The other clowns do not hang out with him back stage, in fact they abhor him. Even the somewhat uncurvaceous female clown (due to the baggy clown pants) that you were certain the lead clown was doing, spits on him in disgust.
He then drives home, not in a clown car but a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron, returns to his bachelor apartment and cooks Mac and Cheese with whiskey. He ponders suicide, realizes he doesn’t have a gun and couldn’t afford one even if he wanted to, gets off the couch, moves to the window, and yells at the kids keying up his car. They flip him off and leave. He cries while watching an episode of Hogan’s Heroes.
That my friends, is real. That my friends, is life. That’s the kinda life comedy stuff that gets you the big awards.
I’ll see you all from the podium, where I’ll be accepting my big award… for my… sad story about a suicidal clown who can’t buy a gun.
My god that’s depressing.

Wow. That’s a sob story for the 6 o’clock news. Wait, no. No it’s not.
I don’t know what the hell I was thinking.
But yeah, that’s pretty accurate for most amateur stand-up comedians.

Admit it, you were referring to Carlos Mencia.

Many a time i’ve wanted to do that to a comedian. Now you give me an excuse to sit in the front row.
I give you a standing ovation.

Just discovered your comic and while I very much enjoyed the comic, I was even more smitten by your rant under it…fantastic. I love that kids are keying your suicidal clown’s car. I found that part uncomfortably familiar. Am I a Sad Clown of Life? At least I never cried during Hogan’s Heroes. (Well…twice. But they were *really* sad episodes.)

Yeah uh… It was all good until that ending.
You see I came here for a laugh and ended with a tear…
not as in crying, as in a rip in clothing type tear. Damn English multi-use spellings.

What gives mate, you’re behind on your game.
Where’s this week’s comic?
I want more funnies, and I want them now.
Generation Y’s can only wait so long…

He should have made fun about the dude cutting his own hair. Fat people like it when you make fun of them about things other than being fat. It gives them hope that at least one person hasn’t noticed how huge they are.

The funny part is that has happened here in my hometown.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:21 am
Wow, you have suicidal clowns in your hometown too?

I’m with Dez, I’m wasting precious study time checking for new comics but I could be wasting so much more if I was reading new comics… you’re making me learn stuff
June 21st, 2007 at 5:44 pm
AHA! it’s his plan! if he doesn’t post comics, you’ll learn stuff, so they’ll be less suicidal clowns in the world, or really less clowns, because what clown isn’t suicidal? and then he’ll be making your video biography, and it’ll be less depressing, and more moving, and he’ll make more money than he ever did, that time in his life when he wasn’t making comics!
but i know. i know. and i knew that bird in the tree was your spy. but the tree was the one you mocked. and it took care of the problem that never existed.
