This is really fucking weird.

Did he just leave on good terms? I thought people stayed or they left angrily.

I can try again. Want me to stomp out of the room? I could cuse or something or threaten to turn the car around.. Would any of those work?

I, for one, am interested in seeing where this not-tantrum idea leads.

Crabs don't lie.

In that regard they are akin to hips.

I'm not giving up on you guys yet. I'm going to hang around, I like you guys!

Unless I'm asked to leave of course.

Not likely to happen. We like people. And you seem alright, even if you came to pimp and then threatened to leave when the content was not "for" us.
Don't take that wrong, the sentence sounds more accusatory than I intended. But my opinion of you would increase if you stayed. And also posted more outside of this thread.

Well, the basics of comedy is that you need to be able to relate to the content somehow. For example, if I said "Jews have ALL THE MONEY!" while on stage, the crowd would laugh because yes, they DO have all the money.
I'll take the Simpsons as an example. Homer has visited area with farmers and shit, and at some point he gets inebriated or falls or something. Throughout the episode he treated the people like they were dumb, when they just spoke in that folksy way that people do sometimes. HERE IT IS. The man asks homer how many fingers he is holding up, to which homer replies "Poor country bumpkin, doesn't even know how to count". The joke is a play on homer's stupidity, but the idea that someone couldn't count on their fingers seems ridiculous or outlandish to us. The absurdity of something so commonplace is what gets us going.

Absurdity. Familiarity. A joke won't make sense if we don't understand what you are talking about, and a knock knock joke is dull because we've heard it so often. Fart jokes make sense because we've all farted before, and yet because it's taboo to discuss it for more people than it is not, it is absurd as well. I don't particularly care about some dude cheating on his celebrity wife.

Also, you are more of a commenter than a comedian. I understand that might seem as an insult, but real jokes that you made are few and far in between. It is absurd for him to cheat on America's sweetheart or whatever you said. Truly it is. But you need to say something like "Tattoo fetish artist Nazi's? You might as well have just stuck your dick into a meat grinder. But, you know, one with commitment issues."
Also, be wary of saying things such as "you're nowhere near tiger woods" or whatever it is you said, because he never said that. Other people do. Unless you make a real joke out of it, like "At least the Tiger woods scandal means that someone would pay attention to you, you stinking pile of shit".

Anyways, this is just constructive criticism.

And that is just Ahmet. Sometimes he says things. Try not to think about it too hard.

Trust me, I like all criticism. I know plenty of areas that my blog can be funnier. But, no biggie, it's a work in progress.
I'll just explore around here and see what I like..
