For those that think they are funny but THEY'RE NOT.

This isn't the kind of post you were hoping for I'm sure. :D I'm not going on a tirade about anyone. I am offering some insight that others may benefit from:

Do you:

Laugh at your own jokes, but no one else seems to?

Write amusing and witty responses on message boards that nobody replies to?

Feel that you are a gifted comic writer, but nobody seems to agree?

WOO-HOO! You are in the right place. :)
I started writing a manuscript 4 years ago. A week ago, I showed it to the only pair of human eyes other than my own to ever partake in this blessed manuscript.

-Now then I have read it through probably 50 to 100 times at least. I STILL laugh at certain points in my novel. I giggled whilest reading it over my hubby's shoulder.

He didn't laugh ever. :| He didn't giggle. He didn't even smile in amusement. [:/]

He said it was very well written and he liked it a lot, but he didn't actually smile at all whilest reading it. :(

DAMMIT!! >:(

So do you think you have the gift of laughter but have been proven otherwise? I know a few people on these boards besides me that would prolly qualify...:)

Well,,Share parts of it with us,,,who says " He " is the all out expert....Most of the most successfull books and movies have been rejected at least twice before they made it...



A Confederacy of Dunces wasn't even published until after John Kennedy Toole's death. He died thinking he was a failure, and now it's one of the best books of all time.

Holy shit...you mean I'll have to face rejection?!? Oh hell, maybe being published isn't all that and a bag of chips...:$

Naw, I can't just type the funny part, it's funny because the character is a dick and you have to be involved with the story line to get why what he says pisses one of the other characters off. ;)

So Lindercles wants me dead. :|

Whoa, I guess fame comes at a pretty high price nowadays! :o:P

You never know what someone wll think is hillarious. I see people on here talking about spraying their coffee and i don't think that was very funny. And times i see genius comedy and nobody thinks it's funny but me.
The day i thought i was funny was the day i wasn't funny any more.(about 15 years ago)
Strange. When people say "You're funny" I wonder if they are ok. Because i was serious . Then when i joke around, sometimes people think i'm serious, so i say "i'm just kidding" all the time to be a disclaimer.
Comedy is a recipe that is different for each person.
Comedy is just a observation of the truth put in a different way, or slightly exaggerated.
I think you have good comedy Jaye. :D:)

my two main life philosophies are:
1. without humor i would go insane
and
2. you have to be able to rely on yourself

ergo, i crack myself up all the damn time. sure, i get a lot of funny looks, and only the occasional giggle, but who cares?!

if you are proud of the book then it was a success. what else matters?

HOORAY!!! :)
-And Lindercles, I think it'll be another 4 years before I ever get really motivated enough to try to publish this thing. It is REALLY long already, and it isn't finished. When I do, I'll send you a PM. I write under a pen name, 'cause I'm sneaky like that. :) It'd be hard for me to shout to people on the 'com to go get a copy of my book when I write all incognito to protect my identity...:ph34r:

A good dick joke is like the universal credit card of humor.

kinda like accusing Sudsyfist of something outrageous in a Bonfire post.

Like the following:

Wow Sudsyfist did that thing with uhm sinker ...again.

Yeah..like a penis!


ROFLMAO! LOL PIPMKAO!

I am MONEY!



......see? like a stunted little club foot.

TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Dont worry bout the publishing. Cuz I assume your not writing b/c you want to get rich.
My mom has been writing her whole life. Mostly poetry. Some has been published, most not.
Shes written 4 books that I know of.
One sci-fi
Two based on the Apostles John and Luke
and one fiction.

the fiction book got published two months ago.
now she charged about re-vamping her sci-fi book and trying again to get it published.

Good luck!;)

Crap, I thought it for me and I was hoping for constructive advice....

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Who restricts that to just Bonfire? I was accused of being a pagan just last night in SC! :)
Oh, and what did the gold miner say when a polyp was found during his penis endoscopy?

bahaha exactly.

so I had this guitar jam idea, upload a backing track somewhere dz.com guitarists record themselves playing a melody, send it to someone who edits it all together for a big guitar jam spectacular.

What do you think?

go back to your home on whore island!

sure, although 9/8 works well too.

For larger appeal something a little simpler might be more fun. Not everyone wants to go modal in weird time signature.

BTW I just picked up the Guitar Hero game - like that Dance Dance Revolution stuff with a plastic guitar, www.guitarherogame.com, seriously fun stuff, when servers werent exploding last night I was backflipping off my couch playing Rob zombie and SRV tunes.
