try not jacking your rod for a week before writing, but then go hog wild while you are writing.

Asterios posted:And I'll make this a general ask: show me the stuff from the past year that drove you guys crazy with how good it was. http://www.somethingawful.com/news/public-domain-comic/ http://www.somethingawful.com/news/crazy-frog-trump/ http://www.somethingawful.com/news/smash-mouth-endings/ http://www.somethingawful.com/news/adblocker-nag-screens/ http://www.somethingawful.com/news/skymall-beach-babe/ http://www.somethingawful.com/news/democrats-new-pitch/ A quick look through 2016's Front Page Articles gave me all this. I could link more stuff from past years, but a lot of it is Elpintogrande stuff, which combines humor with various forms of weird fiction in experimental presentations. Some of the stuff I've seen published on SA isn't even humor, but still awesome reads.

I liked the most recent article, Asterios, but the inconsistent lisp threw me. Was there a reason for it being inconsistent? Lisps and accents are always a pain to read so at least it was nice it wasn't the full article, but I didn't quite get why sometimes the lisp was dropped.

I liked your new article President Baby. I think you really found your voice channeling the spirit of an overly desperate, trying too hard internet comedian. It's a good start to a new year.

http://www.somethingawful.com/news/mlk-day-facebook/ I do not find this funny in the slightest. Nor understand how it took 2 people to write this. I have not found any of President Baby's articles different or funny since it was discussed about a month ago. I also think it was totally lovely to be getting pissy about his book in a different thread specifically designed to bait him after numerous people explained that it made him look like a total bell end. Just thought I would give a heads up!

I think he's definitely improved. The articles are definitely longer, which in itself is enough for me because there were some short ones, and he seems to be more involved in them. I'll admit I don't find them all that funny, but that's neither here nor there.

scott zoloft posted:no, sir i made that thread in earnest. i am all for supporting our frontpage writers' offsite projects if you can swing it or feel like it. I apologise. I did not mean that the thread was posted in that spirit. Just that the tide had turned against that arrogant attitude he had. (As this thread did) I fully support the frontpage writers doing other work and them advertising it. I went to see Nightvale live. I listen to Bob Mackey's podcast's and I think Zach is a great fiction writer. I know sarcasm comes easily on this site, but I meant no offence. Just bad phrasing. Edit: Ok, can someone please explain why this is funny? I have seen the warriors. I get the references, but I just don't get it. Is it supposed to be that this guy does not get there is a huge amount of gang crime in his city? If that was the case surely it would be better to sign it Rudy Giuliani or Bill de Blasio or something. http://www.somethingawful.com/news/warriors-radio-dj/ Lonos Oboe fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Jan 31, 2017 |

Crane Fist posted:poo poo I hate to be a broken record but I read the Warriors article and motherfucker, just stop I laughed at the total nonsequitur punchline but the article was like "haha imagine listening to the radio during the events of that film" and then no followthrough on that concept. I can only imagine what it would be like for someone who hasn't even seen the movie.

Which also isn't exactly funny just because it exists. I can only imagine if this comment makes any sense to someone who doesn't know what NPR is. So no to both I suppose.

http://www.somethingawful.com/news/teen-emoji-code/ I was going to write something scathing about this five-jpg article but really my real question is where did you get that totally sweet picture of Tim Buckley for the header e: it would be selling the article short to say it only consists of jpgs. It also has an assortment of various words. incoherent light fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Feb 6, 2017 |

Instead of putting in the 2 names. President Baby and Sandpaper should have a pseudonym, like James Corey or Alan Smithee.

https://www.somethingawful.com/news/thernovich-valentines-day/ I had written a long carepost about how lovely and unreadable and mystifying this article is, but I erased it. Suffice it to say: it sucks and you suck. Written lisps aren't funny. Written lisps where they don't make sense are extra not funny. Cernovich is a maddox-esque self-help manosphere moron, but not the delusional redpilled zorro you wrote about here. You keep switching between purple writing, alt-right language, and self-effacing oversharing, sometimes in the same sentence. You wrote the same "jerking off in the bathroom" joke twice but it was already trite and boring the first time. Misspelling words hasn't been funny, ironically or otherwise, in many years. Just gently caress off with the humor writing already.

So I assume the point of him 'coauthoring' with whoever the gently caress 'sandpaper' is, “Hey man, I didn't write the unfunny parts!“

Toadvine posted:So bad I had to come and post about it. Who is the audience for a spiteful humor article lampooning an already pathetic group? I was willing to give Asterios a second chance after he stopped whining about peoples' criticisms and started taking them in stride. And I will say that my previous disparaging posts about his writing style weren't insults and personal attacks, just barbed jokes and wiseass remarks. But he hasn't taken any of what others have said to heart, in spite of claiming that he did, and has continued to crap out unfunny articles, some of which are just a bunch of .jpgs. I'll point to Zach Parsons's latest article as something that I (and many other front page readers) enjoy. All of them have a tinge of absurdity to them. I guess that Zach has his style and Asterios has his. But it just feels out of place here.

The last one pretty much only had one joke to tell and tried to tell it about 17 times. Probably didn't help that I have never heard of the guy who Asterios was lampooning. Meanwhile, I like this shark one. It would have been very easy to overextend (again) on this one, but instead he kept it short and simple.
