British Comedy Guide

I'm new, be nice to me.

Apparently I'm supposed to introduce myself so I suppose I had better do that before savagely commenting on other people's threads and generally failing to realize that my "try to find fault in things because that's the best way for them to get better" approach to writing work doesn't necessarily get you the most friends.

I have just finished studying philosophy and the university of York where I was on the comittee of the comedy society but now they are gone and I need new communities to talk about comedy and writing to.

I'm interested in writing sitcoms and sketches and particularly love the medium of radio, I would spout off a load of pro radio cliche's at this point but I prefer to think that the superiority of radio to TV is so supreme that anyone not enlightened enough to realize this without argument would clearly be too intellectually ungifted to understand the arguments anyway.

Despite the fact that I might appear arrogant and blunt I like to think of myself as a friendly person who projects an aura of arrogance as a defence for the timid shaking child that lies beneath, so please be nice to me, i'm a good person really : - ). (I put spaces in so it comes out as proper smiley not one of those newfangled graphical ones)

Hello how do

Welcome to the forum. I visited a friend at York Uni. once. It seemed like a nice place, I went to a bar with a Cadillac coming out of the wall. And you can go for an Indian at 10 in the morning. That's literally all I can remember about the place.

Hello and welcome...

I'm new here myself...

It's a great life if you don't weaken, as they say...

:)

Hi Ondupe, welcome to the BSG?

Philosopher eh. Well I can test my philosopher jokes on you *notices all other BSG users are running away incredibly quickly* I promise you they get badder and badder, here goes.

Existential jokes for you.
Knock knock, whos there?

Doctor, doctor I don’t exist.

Theres an English man an irish man and a Welshman or is there.

Tenuous/Tedious Nietzsche joke.
Why did superman invade the strip club? He thought it was Poland. Cos of all the stripper poles... Why am I justifying such a bad joke Laughing out loud

Oh philosophy jokes, where would the world of ridiculously limited audiance comedy be without them.
I actually took it one step further and combined the twin worlds of Philosophy and golf to create monstrous jokes such as.

Aristotle played the perfect game, best he could have hoped for, despite this he only got an average score.

and of course.

Hume won every time and it really started to piss people off, especially when he kept insiting this in no way meant he was clearly going to win the next game.

These jokes come with a geek health warning and if you don't get them trust me that's a good thing, it means you are normal.

I just realized I picked two of the jokes that had absolutely nothing to do with golf, so i'd better add the thales one.

Thales was having a terrible game, wherever he hit the ball it always landed in the water.

(Thales had a theory that everything was made out of water)

Jokes you have to add an explination of the philosophical theory behind them are clearly the best : - )

Thats makes me above normal then, or to give it its proper name abnormal. Had to do philosophy for my Law degree :) It stops us torturing people apparently and gives lawyers a moral backbone but like all philosphy its good theory but doesn't work in practice Laughing out loud Haven't met a lawyer with a moral backbone yet.

Haven't met a lawyer with a moral backbone? Haven't you ever watched Neighbours and the plethora of other soap operas where one of the characters is a lawyer? Based on that I firmly believe that all lawyers are extremly moral fighters for justice.

:O IM LATE!? welcome :D
