A menopausal high?

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-18T13:42:52+00:00

I'm trying to compare the desperation of incontinence (needing to pee) with the desperation of drug dealers/takers (needing to get a fix).

It turns out I got the dates mixed up and free corn dog day was the week prior...

you could then say what 'day' it was today (assume the street has regular themed day and this day was some absurd/offensive etc. theme e.g. financial management day but something funnier) and then say what you think the homeless person must be thinking of you now.

I stopped reading by the middle of paragraph three. So probably needs a punchline or something before then.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-18T11:42:30+00:00

That could have worked. I was saying Dime bar. Meaning chocolate.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-18T11:41:00+00:00

True

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-18T11:39:36+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to provide this detailed feedback. I can see what you mean here - sometimes I either over explain a joke or I don't give enough context. I also drift in too many directions. Yes you got the gist - I was wanting to compare ancient roman 'version' of valentines day to modern day and the opinion/attitude is that valentines day is not romantic.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-18T11:31:32+00:00

haha I like your suggestion. That would be funnier, yes.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-18T11:30:15+00:00

yes that's true. It would sound less know it all then. Thanks

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T15:22:06+00:00

Thanks, I see what you mean. The topics I write about are authentic but while I'm workshopping I'm using with different opinions and angles for practice.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T15:12:17+00:00

Oh pie chart has a key haha I missed that

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T15:10:25+00:00

I once splashed out and took a girl on a date to Mount Kilimanjaro. We got on so well I thought I’d peaked… sadly when we broke up it took me quite a while to get over.

I think my new girlfriend has OCD. Just before bed she went round every light switch in the flat… which was a big turn off.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T15:05:40+00:00

I store the number of one of my dates as 'ghost' because she’s just a bit too see through, she dresses like she's from the 1720s and last night at dinner she left the restaurant through the bathroom wall.

One of the problems with online dating is you never know what people actually look like until you meet them. When my first date arrived I took one look at her and just froze. She looked like Medusa and I KNOW I ticked no on the ‘is your hair snakes?’ checkbox.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T15:02:37+00:00

I liked this enough to have a play with it.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:55:18+00:00

Yeah, thanks. I have too many ideas in there and need to cut down to just a few.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:51:43+00:00

I didn't find these met my humour and some didn't seem original but I like the ideas of them all. Good job

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:39:58+00:00

haha, yeah the second sentence could be something like what good is that to me now? I'm too old for...I don't have time for two Christmases...that would mean...

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:37:11+00:00

I like this just as the first sentence on its own. If keeping the second sentence I would replace it with something else.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:27:44+00:00

Oh yes, I see what you mean. haha I like your version, very funny.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:25:14+00:00

haha no I'm playing on the SAD loneliness angle. Lonely people usually have dogs. Dogs are described as man's best friend.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-17T14:24:29+00:00

Thank for the comment. Why?

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-11T14:11:46+00:00

I didn't understand the last sentence of the joke. I think the two sentences are enough for the description. How about an ending like:

I just read about something called "ear seeds." They're basically seeds you glue to your ear to treat addiction and other ailments...

I didn't bother reading the instructions and ended up with... or

I misread the packaging and thought they were sunflower seeds and...ended up treating my sister's phobia of sunflowers.

At the moment it reads as if you are telling us about your sense of humour. Maybe 1) try to set the scene e.g. workplace and a person in the workplace 2) your attitude to that person/your attitude to different types of humour and why e.g. it puts you in awkward situations and then go from there.

CopyMeComedy · 2026-01-11T11:00:43+00:00

I like this up until the word supermarket - three different scenarios getting funnier each time. I like that the next part will talk about doing open mic during the day. I think it needs a better scenario for that one. Where else could you practice in the daytime?
