| Comedy How-to, Any advice? Got Bait?
Posted: 1/8/2008 6:54:54 AM | Msg# (all the boys that are unhappy that I do not share there 'complete' view, and want to whine about it)
hmmm, so I am asssessed as "cynical" (I'll let is slide that you just called my mother a ****)
From www.Dictionary.com
—Synonyms 1, 3. Cynical, pessimistic, sarcastic, satirical imply holding a low opinion of humanity. Cynical suggests a disbelief in the sincerity of human motives: cynical about honesty. Pessimistic implies a more or less habitual disposition to look on the dark side of things, and to believe that the worst will happen: pessimistic as to the future. Sarcastic refers to sneering or making cutting jibes: sarcastic about a profession of faith. Satirical suggests expressing scorn or ridicule by saying the opposite of what one means: a satirical attack on his political promises.
As I see it cynical is closely related to 'sarcastic' and 'satirical'. As I understand 'Comedy' is full of both sarcasm and satire. Jokes or opinions are not, nor have ever been, requested by the the OP.
Cynical is not an insult to me these days, I feel quite at home here, my impression of these forums are that there is a common 'disbelief in the sincerity of human motives'.
I read over my responses to posts here and find that the quoted statistics fail to mention when I have given credit where credit is due. NOT all comments and more than one have been of a positive or grateful nature.
Here's another acronym for you boys OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Likely that is what is 'killing' my intentions, in this thread, of molding my cynical nature into something more receptive.
Regards,
a cynical SOM, (son of a mother)
that 'gets it' rude, unfunny, opinionated, cynical | |

Posted: 1/8/2008 7:08:43 AM | Msg# 99 & 100: Thank you for your kind and wise words, both of you have some really good insight IMO.
To me Comedy is not all about jokes and really has much story telling that makes folks laugh. That is what I had hoped to develop out of this OP.
Yes, it is difficult to do comedy on the Internet, we miss the body language and facial expressions that give hints as to how we may be received. As to smartass comments, well, they seem to work well in the real world, and this thread is a testament to just where smart ass comments (of my type) might lead on the net.
Thank you Ladies! Good  to you both! | |

Posted: 1/8/2008 7:53:23 AM | You do realize that there's 2 ways of saying things, right? The right way and the wrong way? Over the Net, we have these really cool things to signal the lack of the ability to use facial expressions and body language.
       
Etc...
So if I say, "Hey, you're being an a$$" 
What about: "I think you're a" 
Or "Dude, you need" 
Do you take that seriously? It's not just about "Funny", it's your whole style of communication. Dude, you simply don't seem to have a sense of humor, or can't show it anyway...
Good luck.
(I think he's gonna need it)

I gotta say I'm getting a kick out of this thread, no matter how off topic it gets people are still trying to educate the OP on his approach to women, occassionally you see people come in and post after having read nothing past the original post.
Right anyway, I don't think he actually called you and SOB, you may wanna re-read that sentence. Oh and being cynical makes you think the worst in the majority of situations, it doesn't make you a satire artist, also it makes you sorta unappealing to the opposite sex.
If you're asking for advice you probably don't have all the answers about the topic in question, but the only person you seem intent on listening to is yourself. I can't describe how impressed I am about that, I really really can't. You could simulate the sound that really sums it up though if you swig some mouth wash and spit it out all over your mirror cause you choked on it while gargling. How's that roll for you... | |
