hey look,
a post
Are you tired of all the irony in Something Awful, but still want to joke around? Do you occasionally want to use periods and capitalizations without making a serious post? Do you wish there was a third posting way besides "ironic comedy" and "serious no-humor".

Hi, I am mr.capps, and I am here to teach you that third way. Welcome to the world of sincere comedy.

"Sincere comedy? What is that"

Great question, let me tell you. Sincere comedy is all about being funny, without any of that irony business. How its done? Well if you follow my step by step guide, you too can be completely sincere when making a joke!

1. Sincere comedy isn't about being honest! Just about being true to yourself! If a joke is a lie, that is ok, just make sure the joke is true to your soul.
2. Follow the principle of "Yes and". When a jerk makes a joke about you, don't just attack them back, instead "Yes and" it!
3. We do not kill animals or children.

If you follow these three simple steps, you can become a sincere comedy poster like me. I like to think of ourselves as the samurais of something awful, following our own code of comedy bushido.

I too have posted that way for 10 years. All my posts are completely sincere but some of my opinions are off center to the point some people probably mistake them for sarcasm. People usually just ignore my posts in GBS, which is fine by me.

I could also really use a Regenerator Slowpoke if anybody has one to spare.
