"*I couldn’t figure out where put this in the post, but I’m also sick of people saying they’re “being ironic.” I don’t know how ‘ironic’ is supposed to be used, but they’re probably botching it."
You're gonna have give better context, people misuse that in a lot of ways.
Just watched a couple of your parodies, you are really bad at rule #3. The Twitter Tag Team one is the best example... so far...
I'll concede that one, though I don't think one gag would have done the idea justice. In fact, the point kinda is that they're just making the same dumb joke, right?
Just to clarify (and I'm not saying you inferred this), I don't think parodies should all be thirty seconds long. But if you're gonna make it longer than that, you'd better have a REASON or you're wasting my goddamn time.
now I feel pretty self-conscious about misspelling bjork the other day. maybe I’m not cut out for comedy anyways, all my funny ideas move over into weird artsy spaces when I actually start to develop them. maybe I just need to work on it, or maybe I should just roll with what I’ve got going.
Don't worry dylan, I was referring more to this type of behavior:

There's no accounting for taste when it comes to entertainment man. I used to think a lot like you. I'm not even disagreeing here. And I don't have much of a point and this just a generalized response to your/manly chicken's blogposts. I just want to say that it's okay to make and like stupid things sometimes. The world is a f*cked up place, at the end of the day when people come home from their f*cked up jobs that they have been more or less forced into working to stay alive, it's okay to come home and just take in all good, simple, unsophisticated, dumbed down sh*t. And more often than not the easiest way to socialize and connect with an audience is through silly and simple content.
The more you post the more passive aggressive you get.
thanks I try
9/11 changed everything.
Mang, you make it all sound so negative and snobby. Dumb fun always has and always will be around. No-one likes a paladin. Destroy the systems from the inside out instead; it's more fun AND productive. <3
Have you seen the movie "They Came Together"?
I love the actors involved, and they are generally very funny people. I actually think it's a pretty damn funny movie, and they did a good job of mocking a lot of over-used rom-rom tropes. (The basketball scene, and the constant "wait... thanks" were particularly well done).
The biggest thing holding the movie back from being a classic like Airplane or Naked Gun, is that they are constantly forcing it down your throat that the movie is satire. It could have been a classic, but instead it's a funny movie that I won't mind watching again some day.
Never heard of it. I'll give it a shot!

What I can't stand are people constantly referring to memes "ironically", its always obnoxious and unfunny.
Yeah they really ruined that one. AND I KEEP CALLING IT OUT AS DUMB AND HACK BUT NO ONE LISTENS. YOU'RE ALL JUST MAKING THE SAME JOKE. SHUT UP. STOP.
Yeah I'm a giant joke-snob too, I honestly think you should stay on this road and dive deeper into understanding comedy.
This blog is really poorly written, though, and it's really strange to me that you're a guy who dissects performance like this so much, and still uses "that's fucking gay" as a pejorative. I think you've honed acting like a person who's critically receptive of comedy more than you've actually practiced being a part of it. You should shave out all the swears and find some well-written material on the subject.
Look up A Modern Proposal, it's a really relevant example of straight-faced satire written 300 years ago, I thought it was interesting to think about comedy that stands so well today, created so outside of today.
Yeah I used to hate hearing people swear for laughs but now I think it's funny because of how dumb it is. It's also a lot easier to say you hate something when your whole shtick is being mean and an idiot. That's kind of dumb too because it blurs the line between your real opinions and the "character," but I still think it's entertaining.
Also it's a lot easier than writing like an educated human being because that always makes you sound like a snob/wiener. I guess it's kind of a crutch in that way, so maybe I'll grow out of it.
Also thanks for the rec, I'll give it a read.
I'm influenced by things I happen to find funny and I avoid making things I don't happen to find funny. That's pretty much the extent of my comedic thought process.
Maybe this is why I've struggled with a lot of shows on TV people go on and on about lately. It's lonely at the top ;_;
don't say that it's stupid you n' me are at the bottom
I-smel roasted you
PLEASE Daniel. Comedy is a cyclical process - sometimes you think you're a half step ahead when you're really half a revolution behind. You can never be sure which side you're really on.
