People being Funny
Lots of love from Oppolo
This acedmic year, I spent doing shop work- as a gap year to get some money before University. Well, not by choice, but that's a whole other story that I could bitch about for hours. AND MAY WELL DO! If I get really bored one night and someone's poking me to write a blog.
Anywho, today's subject is about funny people. I've come to learn that not many people are funny, in my time shop-attending. I'm not funny, except when I've got my GAME ON (Now is not one of those times), so it's a bit too much to expect other people to be that way. Yeah, blah blah blah, funny anecdote about the shop... hmm... here we go. There's this guy called Adam, with an identical twin who everyone calls Foster. And I say "Hello Adam!" and he goes, "I'm not Adam! THAT'S Adam!"... except.. he was Adam... because I can tell them apart now... and... why is that supposed to be funny? He gave up on the joke pretty soon afterwards. Oh, Adam, you kooky kid.
As you can see, the anecdote didn't go well. But I don't have to be funny, I have SCIENCE! So here I go; my 'are people funny' scientific test. Are they funny? AVERAGE people?
Oppolo says: Hey! Say something funny!
§ŦЄџЄ: Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? says: Er?
§ŦЄџЄ: Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? says: Did you know it's ilegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine?
Oppolo says: No I did not know that!

Oppolo says: No I did not know that!
Hm... now this has layers of funny. One the one hand, it's a really crude joke about sex with animals, but then you realise that it's about porcupines- a guy talking about a sex with a porcupine. It is illegal, but that fact overshadows the fact it would be very stupid, which you then go on to realise later. Hilarity.
I give Steve 4/5 for something funny.
Oppolo says: Hey! Say something funny!
Beck says: I like to wear a tuna fish for a hat.
Oppolo says: Extraordinary!
This joke is a play on the random, absurdist. However, Beck has made a terrible mistake- 'tuna' and 'hat' are not naturally funny words (like, for example, 'elephant' or 'potato'). They have no rhythm. I do not believe he has the pinasche to carry off an ironic absurdist joke, where the absurdity is a lack of absurdity. That would be stupid anyway.
I give Beck 1.5/5 for something funny.
Oppolo says: Hey! Say something funny!
Oppolo says: : (
Oppolo says: Are you ignoring me?
Brack seemed to have the right idea. Bastard.
Oppolo says: Say something funny!
Corilithon says: Why?
Corilithon says: Well, I AM going to put something on the Favorite Video thread.
Corilithon says: I think zaboo mightl ike it, it's about My Little Pony. Er, sorta.
Oppolo says: That is so funny!
Corilithon failed to understand the experiment! He is an awful test subject, and went onto a strange slant. I tried to recover the situation but failed. He can take refuge in the fact that he's the only one who took it as a trigger to start a conversation, clearly he is very social.
I give Corilithon 4/5 for being a cool guy. He dropped a point for typoes.
Oppolo says: Hey! Say something funny!
Damien says: Ocean liners full of jesus monkies
Oppolo says: That's acceptable!
Oppolo says: BARELY
Damien attempted the same strategy as Beck, with substantially more success. 'Monkies' is both funny and rhythmic. However, the biblical reference was a bit far. What the hell is a 'Jesus Monkey' meant to be? Unless... it's some kind of innuendo... in which case.... MIND BLOWN.
Oppolo says: Hey! Say something funny!
Volaire says: Something funny.
Oh, you bloody bloody obvious bloodmonger.
0/5
But wait!
I was meant to be taking a varied sample! All the people I've done so far are a very similar type of person- online roleplayer, suspect closet furre... but no matter! I have a good selection to chose from on my contact list to get a varied sample!
A perfect choice-- MINDEZ! The slick-haired Dr. Who fan. I don't talk to him often, but he's always keen to reply! Let's try it out, are Dr. Who fans more funny than roleplayers?
Oppolo says: Mindear! Say something funny!
(MINDEZ)- Won't be back at Turton next year =( says: The internets is a series of tubes.
(MINDEZ)- Won't be back at Turton next year =( says: And if you don't understand that those tubes can be filled, and if they're filled when you put your message in it, it gets in line, it's gonna be delayed by anyone who puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
(MINDEZ)- Won't be back at Turton next year =( says: Then movies streaming across that, that, internet, and what happens to your own personal internet? I... Just the other day, got an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday.
Oppolo says: .......................RIGHT
Wh.....
........................RIGHT I completely understand that and I also did Alesia look here
Oppolo says: Say something funny!
Alesia says: ......
Alesia says: So, these two guys walk into a bar.
Alesia says: The third one ducks.
Well damn. Is there a way to give minus scores?
OF COURSE THERE IS! I invented the system! Muaha!
-1/5
In conclusion:
People are funnier than I thought, certainly funnier than Adam the identical twin.
Further conclusion:
Adam the identical twin is an obsessive Dr. Who fan.
