Give us a mid range joke then so we can judge you.
I've done this to myself.
For the record, I never claimed to be funny. Only to be jealous of those that are funnier than me.
I don't tend to do one-liners. Have a few in my stand-up as such:
"What you see is what you get - they've banned that phrase at the School for the Blind"
"To Be or Not To Be - The controversial new slogan for the Samaritans"
(those are within sentences, not just said outright like that...that really would be shit)
or
"My friend told me I was like a cat on a hot tin roof. I didn't know what that was like so I set my house on fire and threw a kitten on top. And it's true, it did seem skittish."
So, formulaic, then.
And thus I am consumed with envy.
I'm better at character comedy, honest.
Now leave me alone!
