this one honestly took me a little while to get and I had to reread it several times

the only way it could possibly work during actual standup would be if you just absolutely butchered the pronunciation of “agent”

I had a friend in the stand up world who would go on to make small amounts of money doing it but in before that I met his stand up friends and they were the most aggressively smarmy people I've ever met

Have you guys ever been to an amateur comedy night? Good lord they’re awful

I went to a local stand up comedy show, open mic. The last kid gave a horrible stand up routine. Towards the end you could feel him becoming hostile and angry towards the crowd. That's my favorite. When they become visibility angry and hostile at the crowd. But I also think anti-humor is really funny, so I live for people having negative reactions and bombing on stage.

Most of these are legally jokes in that they have a set-up and a punch line, but the rest are just like stuff you'd say in a dream and then when you woke up realize it makes no sense.

False. There is only one electron and it has never stopped
I've been to fun standup where they don't take themselves seriously but there is a lot of bad material out there. Not everyone has a similar sense of humour and you can be big enough to make a career from fans whereas the majority of a larger crowd would think you a tool. That and just material that makes people laugh hard is difficult and even the actual legends can fail to get a response.

So I don't go out of my way because with the price to payoff ratio you can have a funner time (and possibly laugh more) doing basically any other activity with friends.

Oddly enough I know you need a photo to go viral but a lot of the posted jokes would actual semi-coherently as nonsense forum posts.

See I think they haven't preformed any of it. Reddit seems to think it's them throwing out any and all jokes to test the waters rather than trying to become big with their best material. Like a meme Twitter feed.
