Heres a joke (pretend im saying it on stage at a comedy club):

Man I love tinder, but one thing I noticed about it, it's primarly composed of faggots. Like the other day I went outside to my tinder pile and all I could think was "man what a bunch of faggots"

Then I segue into how I don't use smart phones and hate apps and social media and all that

it is neither good nor cool

Yeah, you're right. That word is not a word I ever use IRL or even on the forums, I just thought there was some good synergy for a joke, but no its just stupid and I was dumb.

I enjoyed the word play aspect of the joke but also the subverting expectations aspect. That first sentence is really jarring and not cool but then I'm talking about woodpiles in my back yard and that is supposed to subvert your expectations. Obviously if I have to explain it like this then it's not a good joke and relying on the dual meanings of that word is hackey, probably super played out, and also the word itself is just gross so yeah.

Anyways I apologize to anyone I offended I was just writing some jokes for a stand up open mic I'm doing soon and wanted to see if I should throw that one away or not.

For you first stand up go clean and inoffensive. This is because once you have the technique down to write good and funny clean jokes, you can likely start working on more alienating material without significantly losing tue good will of the audience.

Yeah thanks for the tip. i know my first time is going to go horribly because my sense of humor is very different. But I want to try it and see how it goes. It should be fun no matter what.

I've got material on how many people with my name there are in the us and how much pressure that puts on you when you're a child and you hear someone say "be the best you you can be". That's a lot to ask of a kid that has to compete with 17000 other people with the same EXACT name. If I had a unique name like "zardoz " or something then just existing was me excelling at being the best me I could be. Because seriously who knows a guy named zardoz I'd be the only one in the US

I think you could use this. A lot of this seems like the flow and delivery of the name will be important.

Recording yourself is really helpful and that helped me out a lot.

I also broke everything down into a series of bits with semi discrete jokes. This way, if I stumbled through, I could jump to the next easily.

Yeah that's a good idea as well, recording yourself, like reading the written word back to yourself aloud, allows you to hear the redundancies you didn't notice the first time.

The semi discrete joke tip is also smart. I need to start working on some one liners

I made some shakshuka for breakfast this morning. I tried to get challah from work but they stiffed me so I had to use sourdough to dip into it instead, which was totally fine too but not perfect but life isn't perfect you know and that doesn't make life any worse.

I used a spoonful of cayenne and just enough jalapeños to give it a kick.

What is that eggs or something?

I'm sure I ask this every time fall rolls around but for those of you who're bearded, is there like a cream or oil or something you put in your beard to prevent your skin from going all berserk and itchy?

I use the wash in the shower and the cream after I get out of the shower. There's also a 20% off sale going on at the moment (at least till tomorrow).

I made a thing.

I peeled a green apple and diced it and then cooked it down with brown sugar and cinnamon and ginger and walnuts.

Then I took a puff pastry and stuffed it with brie and poured the apple mixture in and wrapped it all up and baked it.

It was good.
