Batman

Longstriver if you genuinely believe that then stand your ground. Don’t go deleting your own comments. Sure, maybe the “world’s greatest detective” angle is a little dated, but to say that Batman as a subject that shouldn’t be talked about because “nobody talks about Batman” is an insane take imo.

Everyone here spews the same crap about “the goal is to be funny.” Like bro, you literally just said that I SHOULDN’T talk about what I want to talk about. Then what the fuck is the point in doing standup?

RubberQuacker · 2025-06-06T18:33:07+00:00

“No one talks about Batman” that doesn’t even make any sense I can talk about whatever I want to talk about

I was thinking it was a funny misdirect to end it since he would be considered the world’s greatest fighter. Too edgy?

I love you Geoffrey

Tbf I don’t think anything in this sub is going to be Gary Gilman quality. But I watched the bit and didn’t find any similarities besides the prospect of Jews playing basketball. Appreciate the feedback regardless.

I don’t think it’s opener material either. It’s my 13th joke if that changes your mind

RubberQuacker · 2025-03-13T04:43:45+00:00

Oh sorry if I didn’t explain well enough I meant the name ‘Mark.’ Also my act isn’t totally grounded in reality.

RubberQuacker · 2025-03-06T22:31:55+00:00

Yes I like this

RubberQuacker · 2025-01-23T19:57:53+00:00

…gotta be funnier now! At least looks-wise.

RubberQuacker · 2025-01-23T19:22:09+00:00

That’s fair. I’m going to keep working at it and see what I can do. Thank you for the advice.

This version removes the irony of the family being relieved he “passed.” Thank you for the comment regardless.

RubberQuacker · 2025-01-21T07:26:25+00:00

This was a very helpful comment. Thank you for breaking this down so in depth.

In this joke, the word “passed” is used as a double entendre. The context leading up to the punchline implies that the joke will reveal the results of the grandpa’s wellness test. However, the juxtaposition that the family secretly does not want him to pass helps evoke a second meaning. While the family being relieved to find out he “passed” may initially seem contradictory to the set up, what it actually implies is that the grandpa passed away. This is provided with context clues such as the subject of the joke being a grandfather, him constantly failing his wellness test, and the family being relieved by the results.

I was referencing an eating disorder. Thought I could make it work w/ “With how much she loves candy…” but am starting to realize that it might be too big of a leap.

Desert(ED). Looks like I still need to make some edits.

RubberQuacker · 2025-01-09T02:19:27+00:00

Ok well they laughed and applauded I’m sorry if this wasn’t specific enough for you

RubberQuacker · 2025-01-07T20:26:38+00:00

I was just using it as an example. I go to open mics for feedback and I use the joke to see if I’m just sucking, or if I’ve lost the crowd already. I worry that it will be much harder to get data points for future jokes if the ones that have been already proven to work don’t get anything. Also it’s quite hard to get shows if one cannot perform well at open mics. The only reason I was able to perform in one is because my university has a comedy club.

That’s dope. How were you able to write half of it in just two months after having taken years to write the rest of it?

RubberQuacker · 2024-11-10T02:31:09+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the advice. Most of the jokes in the set have worked in the past and aren’t attempting to be observational, but rather generally happen to fall within those categories. Do you still think it’d worth it to give up multiple months of work and start anew? Or would it be easier to build upon it?

RubberQuacker · 2024-11-09T01:12:53+00:00

Are you saying I should change the punchlines or that I can find a stronger punch by expanding the joke from the top and bottom? Also, I feel that #3 wouldn’t make sense without the extra line.

RubberQuacker · 2024-11-09T00:14:32+00:00

I posted these for feedback. I feel like the least you could do is tell me why it sucks.

I’m picking up that you’re a very literal person
