comedy writing is hard, making a good forums post is even harder,

what styles does gbs think are appropriate for the distinguishing crowd that isnt crazy enough for fyad but not blazed enough for byob?


some posters engage in absurd world building like the stereotypes of russia.jpg, others just invoke the common rebuttal of im gay or goku or whatever flavor of the week claims the common place. modern comedy is quite vast, so i axe, what is funny to you?

Unfortunately all the comedy is about mocking you.

perhaps spontaneity is the mother of all funny, just waiting to erupt from the unnoticed corners of everyday banality

it's ok they're only pulling your hair because they want to gently caress you no doubt.

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "friend of the family balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of fyad humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
