He said "Never give anyone advice because you're only telling them how to be more like you." Every time I've erred and given someone advice, I remembered that.

Alternatively; go die in a fire, you insincere prick

[Tadao]

Donate 200 dollars to the zombie film fundraiser and we will.

[Dixie]

I hope you were telling that TO Doug Stanhope.

[Dixie]

yeah. i worked a doug stanhope show a few weeks and back it was really fucking stupid.

[Colonel Flagg]

Impossible. It's like teaching a furry how not to creep me out.

[Fathom Zero]

I'm sorry for enjoying Doug Stanhope.

[MattJack]

This is why we can not have nice things.

[replicant]

Just look in a mirror.

Who the flying feck is Doug Stanhope

[Colonel Flagg]

A very raunchy comic. He is an acquired taste, yet many who see him wonder why you would want to acquire it.

[Grislygus]

I mean, I know who he is, but seriously. Who is he

[Pentegarn]

Usually when I want to point to a stand up comedian to illustrate funny, I point to Jimmy Pardo, who is 90% crowd work and improvisational comedy.

A good start is to check out Never Not Funny on i-tunes, he basically talks with other comedians about all sorts of topics. For my money nobody is quicker on their feet comedically.

[Fathom Zero]

A very raunchy comic.
That's true. I forget a lot that the comics I like are a lot dirtier than most of the cornballs out there and some people can't really handle it. Not that that would be a problem here. You also get the other people I can't stand that say, "What is he doing? Does he tell jokes? All he does is say fuck and shit and people laugh. That's all he does! It's stupid."

If people can't hear the social commentary, that's on them. It's funny, because then they'll like Louis CK whom is exactly the same type of comic as Stanhope. Not that he shouldn't get the accolades - the dude's been around forever and it's about time people take notice.

[mburbank]

Ooh! Ooh! Name drop! I was one of about twenty people in the audience at Louis CK's very first performance! He was taking a stand-up class from the amazing Ron Lynch, who used to make his students do open mikes at his after midnight show in Central Square Cambridge.

[Fathom Zero]

Most importantly - how hard did he bomb? :D

[ThrashO]

On the subject, Louie is back for season 2 on FX starting July 23rd, two weeks from now.

I love the show and his stand up, guy is my favorite alive comedian. It was formerly the great George Carlin. I have some rare vinyls of some of his first shows and all of his books.

[mburbank]

He didn't bomb. it was a really supportive crowd most of whom knew Ron. He did, however, have a roommate in the audience with notes, and every once in a while he'd ask the roommate where he was in the routine, and what he'd already done, stuff like that. I followed his career in Boston for quite a while, and he got really good really fast. It was a pretty amazing time, especially since then I could stay up all night which I totally can't do now.

As another bit o' trivia, if you've ever seen Wendy Liebman, it was her first night, too.

[Zhukov]

My favourite comedians at the moment are Bill Bailey, Sean Lock and Frankie Boyle.

Isn't that marvelous.

[The Leader]

ThrashO should study the comedic styling of Neil Hamburger.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I thought this thread was called "Teach me the funny" in master splinter talk.

[kahljorn]

if you really want to learn how to be funny, you should go to www.zug.com and just take it all in. If you make an account there, not only will you get to exchange wittiness and make up euphemisms, but they will RATE your performance so you can see how you improve over time.

You were a very lucky individual, Max.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The ZUGTHOUSANDVOLTGHOST has gotten 3 trophies.

[kahljorn]

:lol

i saw your posts in that thread

I think we should all get a shitload of trophies but especially the people who were key in getting pram maven is an idiot to be #1 on google. I mean, its a fucking prank site for fucks sake. Don Carlson just got hella pranked. Prolly better than any pranks anybody on there has ever done.

I read one on there out of curiousity once and it was like some dude having a conversation with a smarterchild/porn bot.

[kahljorn]

I TRICKED THAT ROBOT LOL

seriously and he acts like he's outwitting it the whole time and shit

[ThrashO]

Upon registering:

"#4: Learn from the pros. Note people who accumulate the most ZUGZ, and watch how they add funny with each post."

My journey begins...

[kahljorn]

yes. One prominent figure of the zug message forums, with 70,000 smiley faces and 38 trophies is one Pram Maven. He has accumulated so many zugz and he adds the funny with each and every of his 68,000 posts, earning an average rating per post of chuckleworthy. Learn from this professional zugger, animator and comedian (also famous musician and youtuber) and you can be zuggin it with the best of them

[ThrashO]

Just posted my first article guys! Go to Articles and sort Most Recent! I hope they really ZUG-IT-TO-ME!

[ThrashO]

[Pentegarn]

I gotta admit I am curious how this will turn out for you

[ThrashO]

I have 5 zugs already.

[kahljorn]

i sorted by most recent and first it gave me the sex bot story posted 5/25/11, then it gave me one from today.

I think i just got pranked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThrashO]

This is a formal warning for your recent behavior on ZUG Live.

Your recent thread was vulgar and obscene & did not foster a sense of "funny", so it was removed.

Your account has now been set to "Warned," and next time we will have to shut it off. However, we don't want there to be a next time, since you're a valuable member of the community that we want to keep. Stick around and straighten up.

fuckin bitch delete my real life prank time to bring out the big guns

[kahljorn]

oh i found you

can you post on the sex bot thread, "this is the dumbest fucking prank ever. you can't prank a fucking robot. Are you gonna trick a rock next?" something to that extent

[kahljorn]

dude y ou're looking at this the wrong way. You're already a valuable member! Valuable!

[Pentegarn]

So you found a way to fail on a place where nothing can fail (which was both impressive and funny)

We have learned Zug's weakness, their kryptonite if you will, is vulgarity

[ThrashO]

GO READ THAT SHIT NOW

[kahljorn]

:lol i am totally amused

now 10kvoltghost just needs to get on there and give you 5 zugs for all of your posts

[kahljorn]

Brilliant. I haven't laughed so hard at an article in awhile!

haha that got 3 zugs. is it cause he's being ironic? we'll neverknow

[ThrashO]

Shit I got banned before I could post my last and favorite line "YOU SHOULD FIND THAT ROBOT AND MAKE IT SLIP ON A BANANA PEEL"

[ThrashO]

e-mails:

Me: whyd i get baned

zugmail@zug.com: you posted a picture of a man defecating into a womans anus and trolled Davidicus's article relentlessly. Please do not come back. Regards, Zug Staff.

Me: yeah its a prank dude

[Fathom Zero]

I believe the word you were searching for is "banned", not "baned". Although, maybe you actually want to get "boned".

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Also wik: I am still there after five years! Despite the fact no one likes me. Most of the time I don't get any orbs at all. So fuck you, ThrashO! The system ain't rigged.

[Zhukov]

Why are you there if nobody likes you?

Why are you here when nobody likes you?

Why are you anywhere? Nobody likes you.

[Chojin]

i need links. i can't navigate their disaster of a web site.

[kahljorn]

they prolly deleted the posts already

[kahljorn]

[Pentegarn]

I am jealous of Milpool's new sig

[Colonel Flagg]

Don't be jealous. It just gives us non-funny people something to strive for!

YOU CAN DO IT - BE CHUCKLEWORTHY!

[Tadao]

ThrashO earned 500 I-Mocks

[Pentegarn]

:lol

[Pentegarn]

By the way, can these I-Mocks be exchanged for prizes?

[Tadao]

My dick in your mouth for every 1 credit.

[ThrashO]

[Tadao]

Well what fun is that? :(

[Pentegarn]
