I'm still not sure the point of this blog, but generally I like to post funny, amusing, and entertaining items. Here's one that's so bad it's good. It's infuriating too. Especially if you're a comedy writer (which I am not).
Quick background: I subscribe to a daily newsletter about the TV News biz. For some reason, the editors like to include dumb-ass jokes from a guy named Jim Barach (I reluctantly link to his blog because it's only fair). Hopefully they're getting paid for it. Here are a couple examples of his "jokes"... and they're this bad EVERY DAY.
"'Twilight' is number one at the box office. A teenage vampire is the new kid in high school. He heard there's this gang he'd like to belong to. The Bloods."
"Washington Mutual bank is closing branches and laying off employees. Some signage isn't very comforting to customers. 'All deposits are now guaranteed by the FDIOU.'"
"Disney's 'Bolt' is out in movie theaters. Despite its silly storyline, the animated film actually has a message for kids. 'Bolt' merchandise is available at WalMart and Target."
seems like 2% jokes - jokes only 2% of people will find funny, but they'll find it very very funny.
ReplyDeleteof course there is another 98% out there...
Please don't stop blogging.... don't let the ....well you know the saying... get you down...
ReplyDeleteYou are better then the sum of the whole :)
wow owen his jokes are horrible.. haha the first one wasn't even right the vampire isn't the new kid the girl who he falls in love with is. so that makes it even worse.
