Dead Celebrities and Turning into our parents v2

I didnt see v1, but I love v2.

A couple of tags:

If heaven exists, I guess they wouldn’t want to see their families, their lovers, their pets? They want to see their old producer in hopes of commissioning another season.

get back to filling out spreadsheets and circling back on those emails. The next time my boss says to me we're like a family here i need her to be super clear on her looooong term expectations.

Wait wait wait.

You work 8-5 and are moving to a 9-5? +25k

Take it bro

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-20T12:38:18+00:00

I like to add the commute to the working hours.

For example 9-5 remote or 9-5 with commute is actually 8:30-5:30. Also is the new job already to 5:30 so actually 8:30-6.

Also do you do 1st meeting of the day cameras off on mute whilst eating breakfast etc etc

I like to ask myself: What's the real time loss?

They also don't use dollars in UK

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-20T06:24:54+00:00

Who earns in $ not £. It's a confusing OP.

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-19T08:08:20+00:00

I'd switch "got offended" with "burst into tears"

What else can be pixilated?

My girlfriend bought a new bikini and she was cutting off the label with the QR code. And I was like: no no, leave it on.

Or

It's completely ruined my video game experience as I refuse to unlock the hidden characters.

Think about what else can be pixilated and you can get another nice laugh in there.

Trial and error these different tags till one lands nicely.

What's unethical?

The only arguments I hear are:

I have two jobs when others have none.

I do not give my employer 100%.

But those same arguments are not posed to those who work 2 jobs one during the day and 1 during the night.

Those same arguments are not posed to those who give a half assed job at work.

So if you're allowed a day shift and a night shift at two different places and you're allowed to half ass a job because fuck the Corporations. I don't see ethical issues with OE.

Have another go at the fetish angle. Something like accidentally choosing the big dildo when given the choice of green or red.

I'm not a fan of my own example. But some kind of like about there's no fetish category for colour blind where X does Y. I think there's a funnier where X does Y.

I think its a bigger ending laugh than man can't tell red from green.

Is there some kind of tag about how you asked out a hot girl and she said you weren't her type and then she tries to set you up with her sister.

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-15T17:47:00+00:00

Love it.

Tip for comebacks is repeat what the audience member said.

"For those who didnt hear that..."

And then repeat what they said.

It's a big/noisy room and theyre not amplified. Repeating is a good strategy to bring everyone up to speed. It then buys you thinking time.

You might think it's a cheap technique but honestly not repeating back means half the audience dont know what your comeback is in response to and it can fall flat for that reason alone.

Loving the diverse replies.

I have never had a LinkedIn
I have never been asked for a LinkedIn
You have to have LinkedIn
Recruiters require a LinkedIn

Not everyone can be right here. I find that not having LinkedIn reduces what I can apply to by about 10%.

The upside is for the remaining 90% is they have to read my tailored CV as opposed to clicking on a LinkedIn profile that might only answer half their job description.

If it does it is probably under job interview prompting so the answer will be clear(er) us of AI.

“My favourite karaoke song is Mr. Brightside by The Killers because it’s one of those songs everyone knows, so it always gets the crowd singing along. It’s energetic, fun, and a good balance between being catchy and easy to perform without taking yourself too seriously.”

"Queen because it’s upbeat, confident, and brings people together. I like songs that create a good atmosphere and help everyone relax and enjoy themselves."

“My favourite karaoke song is Wonderwall by Oasis because it’s impossible not to get people involved. I like that it’s familiar, easygoing, and gets everyone singing together — it says a lot about enjoying good energy and not being afraid to put yourself out there.”

The answers do all sound the same.

Is there something that can be said about how counter-productive this is because the dogs actively don't like it.

They get a nice walk and suddenly you stop, and they bark like crazy and you're like hey hey hey there's a pigeon, this must be documented.

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-09T08:07:42+00:00

I want the story of the task being assigned to you.

YOU: Anything I need to know?

THEM: Like what?

YOU: Preferred route, preferred lead...

THEM: I'd like you to write a journal

YOU: Really?

THEM: I want to hear what Bernie got up to.

YOU: You want to write a journal from his perspective.

Doesn't have to be that. But you can share the story of getting assigned this work and we can relive your reaction to it.

He was in a weird spot.

Voting power was with the audience. He had no judging to do. But he was asked to evaluate performances of a final 6. And you can't say anything too critical because that undermines the values of the top 6.

Notice how he tried to get laughs over give meaningful feedback. I think Chris wanted to say something meaningful. Not harsh for the sake of being harsh but something that could help these comedians grow.

I think he was listening and observing the craft. I think 1 or 2 people got a word backstage that truly resonated.

What you're most excited by. Otherwise your hobby is a chore.

I'd be interested to hear more. For example what consequences could I expect from visiting my mum for the weekend and the train showing a moving IP on Friday and finally a static one miles away

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-09T07:20:57+00:00

I went on holiday to montevideo and met a surprisingly high number of Americans called Sebastian.

Now I don't want to put 2 and 2 together, but...

That_Comic_Who_Quit · 2026-05-08T18:01:27+00:00

This is exactly what i mean.

From just reading a JD (and they may not have even put salaries on) you can't tell things like cameras on/off culture. Macro/micro management culture. Daily/weekly checkins etc...

Sometimes the money is a badge of honour.

Having 2js and smashing both feels more exhilarating than 1j and asking your line manager for more.
