I used to be buddies with a kid who sucked at making jokes. Worst sense of timing ever. And he laughed at things that weren't even funny. Seriously, Just say potatoe, and he would do a spit take. Am I the only one annoyed be people like this? Tell me your experiances with people like this.

He sounds insecure.

Also some people have a very low sense of humour. It usually develops to something better after a while.

Worst thing you can do is making fun of him.

I had a class with a girl who, I seriously think, never once thought before she started to talk. The result is that she would ramble incoherently always as though she was about to get to the point, but never quite arriving. She would often wander FAR off topic and would change he stance, or negate what she had originally tried to say (and sometimes just forget what she was trying to communicate all together.) Seriously, the whole class got tense whenever she opened her mouth. People went ridged at the first syllable because they knew this would go nowhere, and would take lot of time. I felt most sorry for my teacher who had to respond to whatever had just been said. It was difficult because often their was not even a sentence to respond to, but merely a series of words strung together in no particular order. I suspect she often was trying to be funny, but their usually just wasn't any joke.

Who hasn't had that kind of situation?

I once told a really dirty joke to my D&D group and everyone laughed except for the new guy, who turned out to be a mormon. He didn't last long, since he would declare a die cocked if it landed half on and half off of a single piece of paper. He also tried to keep us from using miniatures to mark our positions relative to the monsters, since he didn not understand that the rest of use didn't have a photographic memory. He never told a single joke or understood anything humorous. We missed him when he finally stormed off in an 8-cylinder huff. So much for free entertainment.

Well, as I'm hoping to launch myself a Standup Comedian in the future, I guess I'll find out whether I'm as funny as my friends tell me I am!

And yes, I fully expect to soil myself before, during and indeed after my first performance out of sheer nerves.

YAY! a fellow stand up comic! My sugestion would be for you to use universial funny jokes (like poop) and then add in more adult (relationship) comedy.

So what you're saying is that this girl has a promising career as a politican.

ZING!

SOunds like he just wanted acceptance from you and to fit in and enjoy his life, but you could not even let a little laugh go by....

Often what happens, I'm saying this from personal experiance especially as a 16 yearold schoolboy, is that so many jokes are personal with other people, or relate to funny things that most people dont know about. So something that may seem completely random to many could have hilarious signifigance to some

A punch in the face solves EvErYtHiNg.

Not TRUE!
what about cancer?

The kind of jokes a couple of guys at my flgs make:

Me: "Here's Ghaz, all painted up. Loving the paint-job, my sister did it."

Idiot 1: "Huh huh too bad it won't survive my foot."

Idiot 2: "DUDE paint your own models for once!!!!"

Me: "Oookay..."

Yeah, they're actually like that. I refer to them as "the stranglers" and one of the other guys can't stand them.

You can't solve cancer!

Actually you can. Just donate to the (if you live somewhere else, donate to your version) American Cancer Society. Please, do it. I'm tired of walking 5k. I've done like... none this year, but just wait till summer. And punching is not allowed at my school. Even in self defense. How stupid is that?

That's not solving cancer, that's helping to CURE it

No punching in your school?! Punch the principal

If I punch the principal, all that I'm doing is punching some short bald guy. And that's not any fun, now is it?

Curing, solving, i's all rock an roll to me.

Actually it's not. But still...

No, he was just a jerk. Thank god he's not in my class.

Punching = Prison

Actually,

Punching= Juvie hall+ therapy.

Enough with all the punching I can see why there's no punching

I just envisioned Ralph on the Simpsons. "That's where I saw the leprechaun, he told me to burn things."

That made me laugh. Congrats.

*Slowly steps away*

Don't turn your back on me man. It makes me very sad.

I want Punch & Pie, and none of that lame Turtle kind, neither

I'll give you (a) Punch for mocking the Turtle Pie!

The people that follow the 'Church of Turtle Pie'?

Worst internet meme ever.
