I'm picturing you watching SNL, yelling at the TV for stealing your jokes. Then pausing as a light clicks in you mind and you realize, sadly, that you're not any funnier than SNL . . .Comedians: are they born or made?
I've been watching a fair amount of SNL lately and it's made me notice how NOT funny I am, nor have I ever been.
I can't speak for everyone, but I consider myself to be kinda funny, and I'm pretty certain my sense of humor formed as a defense mechanism against crippling social anxiety, an alcoholic father, and constant ridicule for being the fat kid.Comedians: are they born or made?
I've been watching a fair amount of SNL lately and it's made me notice how NOT funny I am, nor have I ever been. But I wish I was. So bad. Do you think anyone can learn to be at least somewhat funny? Or are people born with a comedic beat and they know what to say and when? They just get it.
I'm curious to see what ya'll think.
Hey, no hugs, it's not that bad. I'm not actually anything like Dave!I can't speak for everyone, but I consider myself to be kinda funny, and I'm pretty certain my sense of humor formed as a defense mechanism against crippling social anxiety, an alcoholic father, and constant ridicule for being the fat kid.
Actually, I take that back. None of that was funny. So this is how Dave feels...
I just wanted to touch you....Comfort! Comfort you!Hey, no hugs, it's not that bad. I'm not actually anything like Dave!
Do you enjoy making other people laugh? If so, then you can learn be funny.Comedians: are they born or made?

Get. Out!! (I am unfunny though.)I'm picturing you watching SNL, yelling at the TV for stealing your jokes. Then pausing as a light clicks in you mind and you realize, sadly, that you're not any funnier than SNL . . .
. . . oh wait. You said you've been watching recently. Never mind.
(There was a stretch a few years back where I found SNL decidely unfunny, is what I'm saying)
Given the cosplay thread, I find this very hard to believe.I’m so shy and am very unsettled at the idea of so many pairs of eyeballs staring at me.
Haha! It’s actually very true.Given the cosplay thread, I find this very hard to believe.
This is not entirely true. Mitch Hedberg was a good example of this. He had terrible stage fright.comedians are completely okay making fools of themselves and are comfortable with the attention that comes from that, the attention that comes from being a good story or joke teller.
That’s I why I said ‘in general.’This is not entirely true. Mitch Hedberg was a good example of this. He had terrible stage fright.
But for him, his enjoyment outweighed the fear, and so he would go out there, even if it meant wearing dark sunglasses, keeping his eyes closed, hat pulled down low, etc.

No, I didn't know that. But I'm already dreading the day that I attempt to re-replace the shower head in our upstairs bathroom. It appears very much like the stem that attaches the shower head to the wall is being held in place by a couple of rubber bands, or maybe that stretchy tape that seals holes.Okay so I get offline and go to take my shower (I was going to do so an hour ago but my wife got into the tub before I called dibs). Everything was going great. I warmed up the water, set the curtain in place, and then pulled the little handle to turn it from the main tap to the shower head. There was a loud POP and water started pelting me in the face.
Did you know that the hose on a shower head was a rubber tube surrounded by metal and that the rubber tube could blow like a popped balloon? Neither did I. So I guess I get to load up on deodorant tomorrow and pick up a new shower head on the way home.
We actually have another shower, but it's in the basement and it looks like the kind of shower you'd find unused in the basement of a rental house. The thing is not clean.I don't even wanna touch the shower in the front bathroom, after the nightmare I went through with our walk-in shower in the master bathroom.
My dad has one of those in the basement, and he owns the damn place.We actually have another shower, but it's in the basement and it looks like the kind of shower you'd find unused in the basement of a rental house. The thing is not clean.
Well, I mean... she is 20 years younger than me, I guess...#dadbandit

Maybe I missed something with Fade, but how does that make you a sadistic bastard?Just because I'm a sadistic bastard at times, I just became his first patron.
