Kelly the Dog Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Once upon a time, a decade or two ago, ESPN was just starting. They hired a few guys named Chris Berman and Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman, who once upon a time were fairly humorous in a smartalecky kind of way. It was a little new (for sports), a little goofy, and it worked great. ESPN and SportsCenter became a phenomenon. Unfortunately, Berman and Patrick and Olberman ruined sports forever by being sporadically mildly amusing. Now, everyone on SportsCenter tries to be funny, like them, but they are not like them, and are not funny, and sound like complete morons. And the same thing has happened to our lovable TSW. There were and are a couple witty, mildly amusing old timers (and, admittedly, a couple of new timers) that once upon a time made TSW a great place for wisecracks and Pythonesque abuse, and they, unfortuntely, because they were funny, made this place nearly unbearable. Now, every tard on the coaster tries to be funny. Except you tards forgot one thing. You're not funny. You're Stuart Scott. So remember. If you're trying to be funny, make sure you're funny. (To those here who are actually funny, carry on.)
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Can we have some examples of "funny" versus "not funny." I just want to make sure I write funny.
JoeF Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 You are cool as the other side of the pillow Dog...
SDS Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Kelly... you're as cool as the other side of the pillow. Props to you.
X. Benedict Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Kelly... you're as cool as the other side of the pillow. Props to you. 573113[/snapback] That's some roast duck with Mango salsa right-thur....
Lurker Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Right on. Nobody circles the wagons like you, Kelly.
ofiba Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Maybe we should all have to submit our posts to Kelly to be reviewed before appearing on the wall. What if someone posts something that Kelly doesn't laugh at??? We can't have that. In fact, I am going to put my membership up for review. If the Dog doesn't think I am contributing in the way he wants, I see no reason for me to continue posting. I've got my fingers crossed...
Lori Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Now I need to ask myself - am I mildly amusing, or just another 'tard on the coaster?
Nervous Guy Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 "How am I funny, like a clown? What is so funny about me? What the !@#$ is so funny about me? Tell me. Tell me what's funny."

Fo' Shizzle! BOOYA!* * the preceding post has been rated NF (not funny) by the Balenced Dog Society of America. Under 18 not admitted without a comeback.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Can we have some examples of "funny" versus "not funny." I just want to make sure I write funny. 573110[/snapback] A general rule of comedy is, if you're not sure, you're not funny.

stuckincincy Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 There were and are a couple witty, mildly amusing old timers (and, admittedly, a couple of new timers) 573106[/snapback] Dear Dog, I see nothing wrong with your post. You are my favorite straight man. Yours Truly, stuckincincy.
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 A general rule of comedy is, if you're not sure, you're not funny. 573139[/snapback] Actually, I'm pretty sure I write funny. I'm just not sure if you'll think its funny. Funny is an art, not a science. We're just wondering what your palate is? Vulgar? Highbrow? Blue Collar? Dennis miller-esque? Que?
DC Mom Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I have a treatment that I'd like to pitch to you, Kelly. Let me know when would be good for you.

I am tired of the old banana peel slips, I need something new.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 I have a treatment that I'd like to pitch to you, Kelly. Let me know when would be good for you. 573150[/snapback] That was funny. See tards? The Carp Heaving Donkey followed the simple rule. If you're going to try to be funny, please have the decency to be funny.
