C is for Comedy, that good enough for me
I went to watch my friend Jimmy perform tonight at a semi-local comedy club, and had a blast.
Whenever I’m asked what my favorite genre of movie/tv show/etc. is, I always respond with ‘comedy’.
I love to laugh, despite it sometimes being painful (I have been known to laugh so long and loud that I’ve nearly suffocated to death) to me. I love hearing jokes and funny stories. Most of the time, for background noise, I’ll have a comedy show or movie of some sort on. (Recently it’s been An Evening With Kevin Smith 2)
I personally don’t think I’m a funny person, yet people often laugh at the things that I say. I hope that they’re laughing with me, and not at me, but I have the feeling it’s more the former than the latter.
Sometimes people tell me I should give stand-up comedy a go, and I’ve toyed with the idea. But I don’t think that I have the right timing for it. Maybe some day I’ll try an amateur night or something, but for now, I’ll leave the comedy to the pros.

You need a “boke”, plain and simple, man. You have the comedy stylings, but you need a well-timed “nan de ya nen” somewhere in the middle. Someone’s got to be there to make you look good.
Mou ee wa.

Jufurii: This is true. We definitely need to work on our manzai act. I wonder how people would react if we swapped who was the “boke” from time to time.

You mean like Waraimeshi’s work? Usually they flip-flop the boke.
