why did the fat ugly misogynist cross the road?



a) to get to amateur stand-up comedy night.

I don't really care that much about stand-up comedy. Like many people, I have surmised it to be the realm of losers with the exception of a gifted few.
A lot of people ask "why aren't there more funny women?", and by funny, they usually are referring to stand-up and the career path thereafter.
Last night they had an amateur stand-up night at the Ottobar. Due to the bar atmosphere, perhaps the quality was even lower than comedy clubs. However, I've been to a comedy club before, and based on the acts seen there, I do not think that what I observed last night strays too much from the formula.
It is no wonder that funny women don't want to deal with the dregs that is the lowest echelons of stand-up. Loser after misogynist loser making rape jokes, jokes about 'bitches', how women hate giving blow-jobs, and how pussies smell bad.
I'm sure women hate giving blow jobs to these gross ugly dudes. I doubt anyone would bother to bathe before hooking up with losers like these. The guys who make these jokes are never attractive, I've noticed.
Strategies for getting laid: a) be good looking, b) have money, c) be funny.
Well I guess these dudes fail at a and b. But then they fail at c too, because they're pre-occupied with impressing their guy-friends with their pathetic attempts to be crass and macho.
I guess there's not much else to say other than that the status quo that prevents the 50% of wanna-be comedians who don't resort to that lame crap from calling out the 50% who do on their bullshit will serve to maintain stand-up comedy as the realm of pathetic losers until the end of time.
What a lame scene.

Yah. Most comics are excruciatingly lame. There are few things worse than sitting for 20 minutes and painfully chuckling to be polite.` Free alcohol is about the only way to make most of them bearable.

I want to do this amateur night eventually. I think I could put together something fresh and amusing.

I always hated improv and fake-smiled my way through my friends' shows until I went to the shows at Linus' improv place here in Chicago (where many Sat. Night Live comedians have come from)... that place is seriously hilarious. They are so obviously beyond talented, it's refreshing and you don't have to give any pity laughs at all.

But otherwise yeah, I've definitely been to see some groaners... I guess it's just one of those things where there's really a wide gap in quality and maybe it's just not worth seeing any amateurs. The Jerry Seinfeld movie (called "Comedian") was pretty fascinating, it kinda shows just how good you have to be to "make it". Anyway, yeah, i get so fucking tired of the "nagging wife / stupid dolty husband" stereotype bullshit. John laughs at me whenever one of those lame-ass commercials comes on where it's like the idiot husband is trying to "get away with" purchasing something the wife will think is a waste of money, and then she comes in and surprises him by NOT NAGGING, and lets him go buy it like an overexcited puppy... or whatever bullshit. Anyway I am totally rambling but I get so mad at those commercials and those types of comedians all pull the same old crap.

"Let's laugh at my wife, she's such a whining nagger! Just like every woman HA HA! But it's ok because I'm an idiot lazy husband so you kind of side with her anyway!"

    Everybody Loves Raymond was kind of one, long extended one of those.

      Yes, there is a reason I hate that show.

      There's a bunch of others, though, too: The King of Queens and about 8 other similar shoes have debuted since then. I can't even keep them all straight, they're all set up exactly on the same premise. One of those redneck comedian guys has one now, there's a bunch of other "fat guy, hot wife" duo sitcoms... Ugh.

I went to an open mic comedy night here in Virginia and a guy got up and told the following joke to a "mixed" crowd:

"What did the black guy get on his SAT's""

"Barbeque sauce"

and when no one laughed except his girlfriend, he tried explaining it out, and referenced an affinity for chicken.

I decided I'm going to go to a bunch more comedy nights and write an expose humiliating these dudes. it will open like this:

"Death to rape victims," muttered ____[whatever his name is, I need to find out], as the small crowd sat uncomfortably, silently upstairs at the Ottobar last July.


I need to find that guy and interview him, as though I'm doing a comedy profile on him. For the record, although thankfully nobody responded to his "joke" about how annoying and dumb rape whistles are, he will not be allowed near a micorphone at the Ottobar again.
