Anon tries to be funny
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
This is comedy gold. I would have laughed. The teacher having no sense of humor I get, but the other students? WTF is wrong with them? Maybe the culture is too different now - at 45 now, I can confidently say that back in my day this would have gotten some solid laughter.
This kind of awkward humor walks a really fine line between funny and just plain old awkward. Stand up comedy is a real deal skill, you couldn't just go up at an open mic and kill, you probably aren't doing it in a classroom of your peers barely paying attention.
Script is solid. Failed the delivery.
Real comedians practice their skit until it's not even funny for them anymore. Many never laugh at their own jokes when they're killing it.
