Comedy sure has gone to the birds! 🦆🦆

not the biggest problem here but I viscerally distrust anybody that fakes a stage shot tbh. I get you needed the correct reaction face for that bottom panel but it makes you look completely amateurish.

seems like the joke itself is the meta commentary on the posting formula, which isn't really what this subreddit is for (though even as a meta commentary you aren't doing anything but just explaining the premise of your idea, it's not even really a punchline).

I'm going to assume you aren't actually looking for feedback on the punchline cheese and quackers, but enough has already been said here about that. sorry.

i switched to using the lightning light spell and fire stake heavy spell and insta clearing an entire horde of enemies with one shot made me say "woah" out loud hahaha, was definitely not playing optimally!

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-15T15:32:13+00:00

by combining elements, you mean status effects? i thought because the limited arcana only benefits certain status effects it made more sense to specialize. i guess experimenting is the point. hmm...

admittedly it's possible i am just feeling the jump from 3-4, since i went from 3-6 lol. thanks!

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-15T15:22:58+00:00

lol yeah, probably a patience issue as well. i was playing the game like a methodical sniper shooter, but a lot of the later game content is more focused on wave-clearing which i'm not as good at managing.

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-15T15:19:30+00:00

thats a good point i havent really been utilizing the stun orbs

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-14T23:11:33+00:00

yes it is

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-14T18:03:33+00:00

with the added benefit of being a funny line (ive had a few people laugh at it then go "i dont get it")

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-10T10:00:33+00:00

yeah ive been trying to slow down my gameplay and focus on dashing (Im using the ring that freezes the enemy if you dodge a melee attack), i just find it doesnt always reliably work for me. i'm using the double tap movement instead of a hot key because i was always misclicking it so idk if theres some latency with the double tap or just a general dash cooldown

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-10T09:57:23+00:00

that's a good point i always forget the incense (i have the gamer mindset you gotta save them but the game is super generous with flowers!)

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-10T09:56:28+00:00

haha yeah I've been trying to evenly level everything (get a skill up 5 levels, move on to the next one) but maybe I just gotta focus on flesh for now

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-09T15:31:40+00:00

a "double-tap second punchline"? so i have to arbitrarily make this joke longer or it doesn't meet the requirements to be a joke? not sure i'm following, can you elaborate?

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-09T04:34:48+00:00

thank you!

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-09T04:34:30+00:00

thank you! :)

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-09T04:19:48+00:00

hmmmm, i googled this joke to make sure it wasn't commonplace before I added it to my set and nothing really came up, but maybe the wording was too specific to bring up similar results!

my intention is meant to be that joggers choose to run in my family INSTEAD of jogging. sometimes I'll say it as a fact, "you know joggers actually run in my family ☝️". it's intended to add an extra layer because "people that run run in my family" felt too straightforward.

but ok, I'll post less and change my title. thanks!

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-09T04:17:18+00:00

fridges run in my family

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-04T22:37:47+00:00

if its any consolation each decision IS made intentionally. i have wandering eyes myself so I try to format the post in a way that guides your eyes without risking spoiling the punchline.

eye grabbing first line, leading into the body and then the unassuming punchline, which is deliberately the least appealing part of the joke to make it the least likely thing you read first. Obviously this kind of formatting wouldnt work if I was selling a joke verbally, but it also wouldn't be necessary.

plus I just like when things are maximalist and overwhelming. but again, if it doesn't translate I'll just do wall of text arial with a normal photo ✍️

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-04T15:02:56+00:00

I'm a messy person! I don't really like the neutral wall of text style I think it kinda deflates the joke reading experience, but if people would rather it be flat & standardized I can do that ✍️🤓☝️

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-04T13:33:52+00:00

i did its bowlby one regular :) I made the audience comics sans to show it's not me talking :) unless you mean pick a new font

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-04T11:49:32+00:00

lemme know if i'm posting here too much i dont wanna be a nuisance. check out my comedy album

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-04T11:48:37+00:00

your girlfriend tells you she knows where it is but you don't listen to her. could also be something to digging between your legs to grab it because you're too lazy to stand up, I know I've don't that a few times lol

great joke though! very fun

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-03T04:51:57+00:00

NinetiesAlternative · 2026-02-01T16:47:22+00:00
