I don't think your being harsh I appreciate your feedback what with being a beginner with all you old pros. Like the comedy NOS reference btw. Perhaps I should write instead of just riffing but I find it more difficult to methodically think about it and prefer to just write off the cuff.

I ain't no pro, not even in the 'sells his body' sense although my name might suggest otherwise. I've written some stuff that is just filth, like my inbetweenies sketch (critique https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/14213#P455836), so there's no shame in it in my view. Idea generation is much more fun than dialogue writing IMO too.
:)

I think it means original poster. I copied it from someone else on this here board. It might mean old pillock, but I hope not - I wouldn't want to offend (and you say you are young anyway).

I'm pissed. I admit it. But I don't understand this post. Please enlighten me because I've read it three times and my Jack Daniels awaits. Teary

I wrote the thing and even I don't really understand it. At least you can definitely say that it isnt plagiarism, even ifthat's all you can say about it.

21 is that even young anymore? For all I know I could be the oldest on this site and end up with the moniker Uncle Spider or Grandad Nugent.

Just read your Inbetweenies sketch, don't think I ever heard it called splap before, it puts very strange pictures in my head, it almost makes (splap) ie(the most disgusting thing ever formed) sound like fun. BTW im 100% heterosexual male . just in case

Splapping is awesome!

Yeah when splapping not being splapped.

ha ha, yeah im a bit of a beginner to this. What does OP mean is it derogatory.

OP means "Original Poster".

It's usually only a derogatory term if the OP is making their first post ever and the post looks like it's mainly designed to get a rise out of the regulars, a practice often known as "trolling".

But how could the newcomer try to get a rise out of the regulars if they don't know what the regulars rise to, what with being new.

LOL it seems you provoked a bit of controversy on that thread. so whos the troll there you or gotmilk. I will read through your novel after ive read through the abuse.Is that the whole point of a troll, to subtract from the actual thing your supposed to be rating by just causing controversy. I take it people don't like (trolls)

MY novel??!! Are you serious?! Laughing out loud I sussed him/her/it from the start. Eventually he/she/it was banned (click on gotmilk's profile).

BTW been busy getting rid of 'BING' browser for the last million years - but will be adding comments re. your 'R*p*' sketch; plus a rewrite bearing in mind Giggle-o's, "where are they, what do they have to do with each other, what are these songs they're talking about, do they exist" ( well some of it!) - which might help calm the storm!! :)

:) WTF does BING mean ( I truly am a novice so you might have to explain ) unless of course its really obvious and im just thick. Just been looking at some of the feedback people get and it really can get a bit aggressive can't it. Quality site though

Read through Gotmilks "novel" and hes clearly intelligent but WTF was it all about I couldn't understand a word of it. Saying that ive wrote one short very quick sketch about r#pe so wtf do I know

I didn't realise it (sneakily) came with a 'Windows Live' update. It replaced my usual Firefox browser. It took me ages to get rid of it.

Just a name... like Firefox or Albert, I guess.

To be honest when I saw your original post all squashed together in one paragraph, peppered with the word 'Rape', I thought you were a troll - especially as it was posted at 5:24 AM when most admin are tucked away!

I work lates so I can only come on at daft o clock. I still don't know what a troll is, I thought the whole point of this site was too write your stuff and get feedback be it abusive or not. To be honest I couldn't really care less what people put on mine. What I wrote has got nothing to do with rape really I called it my first sketch. There is one called Dog Rape which clearly just wants you to read because of its title, mine could have been about anything. Is that why when I emailed the main guy telling him how good this site was and whether its purely for professionals he basically said Thanks

Very interesting Spider. The author of 'Dog Rape' is Chris Forshaw -- https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/15008
-- who made this comment earlier on your 'Rape' sketch:

Quote: Chris Forshaw @ October 3 2009, 1:14 PM BST

I think I've missed something. Is the joke that they keep saying rape?

Angelic

Anyway - will post re-write later! :)

No, I'm 20 that's fine.

Cheers Morrace :)

And welcome to the boards spider, hope you like this little slice of forum... Yes people can get aggresive but we try to put them in there place :)

And I liked the sketch but reading it didn't really do it justice so didn't really find it funny, I can see where you're coming from but what Chris Forshaw said was true, break it down and really it's 2 guys saying Rape way too much.

But its a "modern" sketch so some people will love it.

Again welcome to the forum!
