I've isolated the conversational device even easier to employ than sarcasm, and no-one has cottoned onto it yet! Use it before everyone works out what you're doing! It came about when I realised Sega Superstar Tennis is being made by a studio an old schoolfriend of mine works at, so I sent him a message on Facebook. His reply came thus:

Quote:
I had a fair bit of input into which characters went into the game, and you HAVE to have Ulala and Beat in there Smile

I think there'd be licensing issues with Michael Jackson. And the fact that he's now a scary character for children. Jesus Juice anyone?


Jesus Juice anyone? See, all you need to do is take a comedic point of reference for the given subject you're lambasting, and tag 'anyone?' on the end. So you're able to utilise the points of reference without actually having do the leg work of providing a humorous context for them!

For example, say we're at a music festival. Beck is playing at the same time as I dunno, The Beatles, and I want to see The Beatles. A particularly funny thing about Beck is that he is a Scientologist. So I say 'I dunno about seeing Beck. Xenu anyone?' It's simple. works in all kinds of situations. Try it yourself!

While you're at it, try to guess the subtext of the above post! Is it

a.) James is super-psyched about Sega Superstar Tennis!

b.) James just ate a big sandwich. Burp!

c.) James is bitter that his best friend in school now works on Wii games while he goes to the Job Centre.

Hey, I just talked to Freud, and he said

"James Harvey's fixation upon the concept of 'Jesus Juice' indicates he has just eaten a large and dry object, such as a pillow or sandwich, and now subconsciously desires salvation from his phenomenal cotton-mouth. Also, something something his mother."

I kind of stopped paying attention at the end there.

My guess? Duct-taped her to a dorm room door.

That Freud was one wacky son of a bitch!

because pulling athletic tape off your knees when you're a hairy bastard with light colored hair sucks worse than having smooth legs

also it looks really dumb if you only shave around the knees and do nothing else.

Harveyjimjams you are wrong, Cycle does not wear short skirts. When I took the train to Clowntown a few weeks back I found out that, in Clowntown, he is well known to wear Stubbies instead of a skirt because he is a very informal man.

I need to upload the picture I drew of Cycle travelling to his job in Clowntown from his house in Clowntown. It's a classy piece.

Almost as easy, humor-wise, is cut and paste humor.
The only catch is you need to be online and you need to remember enough keywords to google the funny you were thinking about.
I was going to try to some "I don't know about Freud. Penises, anyone?" when I decided to recycle this old chestnut:

'I had a dream last night, Siggy.'
'Ja?'
'It was you and me together skipping in a field. Und then this great serpent appeared and slithered into a cave.'
'Du lieber gott! Do you know what you are saying to me? Do you know what zis serpent means?'
'Ja, it is some manifestation of the World-Spirit.'
'Dummkopf! It is my cock! Ze serpent is my cock that you are craving!'
'Nein, nein! All ze time you think of cock! The serpent is some Kundalini thing.'
'Stop mit zis craziness! The serpent is my great big cock that you cannot get out of your mind. Admit you want it!'
'Nein, nein, is some archetype, Ouroboros ze great world-serpent maybe.'
'My hot throbbing cock is ze great serpent of the world and you want it bad! Look, look, look at my cock that you crave inside you!'
Freud unzipped himself triumphantly.
'That thing?' said Jung in surprise. 'That looks like a cigar.'

I will maintain in this thread that your mom jokes are the lowest form of wit.
