I like the ones of the fat bearded guy with glasses who is kind of shrugging, and the skinny guy who looks kind of like the 20,000th xerox of Rivers Cuomo. They're always totally real stand-up quips they use in actual sets.

I do actually feel bad for modern comics because smartphones make it a bitch and a half to refine material as you go. Unless you get super lucky and either arrive fully formed out of the gate like Bo Burnham, or do all your constructive work behind the scenes like Mulaney, your entire growth process is now well-documented and makes you look terrible.

I feel like you could probably base good portion of crowd work over calling people out for recording you.

Bad standup: person reads their manifesto about minor things that annoy them, doesn't actually crack any jokes about the thing they're complaining about. Sometimes has stupid props like puppets or a guitar. People laugh because they're speaking in the same annoying cadence all standup comics do.

e: This post could be a standup routine.

only the first 2 and the last one are jokes

you can hold an opinion as to whether they are funny or not, but they are recognizably jokes. the rest are not jokes.

maybe the one about her husband giving her oral sex is a joke. i haven't decided
