Silly Jokes About Cats. Page 3

Not really, no.

Don't worry, we get them.

It's a gong show. Raise your game. Someone trashes your jokes - tell better ones.

It wasn't about the jokes. If you read the posts you would have got that.

Don't get upset by what I write. I'm just trying to amuse myself. Nobody made me ultimate arbiter of what's funny. If you can get gigs as a standup and you enjoy it - do it.

Obviously. Again, read the posts. I wasn't concerned about you not thinking I'm funny.
I don't blame you for not wanting to read the pists, but find it odd to have an opinion on them if you didn't read them. I'm done with the discussion. I can accept if they aren't funny. I'm going to ask some other people what they think though. I obviously am not gonna let a few people on a forum decide. If other people feel the same, then they're trash. Not everything I write is funny. Very few people don't write at least some things which aren't funny. These have been voted the best: voted best what do you think about those?

Re the ones voted best...

One was funny. One was tediously racist and the rest, well...

To be diplomatic, cats are funny. Jokes about cats clearly aren't.

I think this proves my point about a difference in sensibility. Those jokes received thousands of votes.

So did Hitler, but he wasn't that funny. Learn from the master; he never mentioned felines at Nuremberg. Although he was fond of a Panzer.

Thousands of American votes.

Americans have also fitted a psychotic monkey and Will Smith in as your presidents.

We voted in CHurchill and Thatcher.

I think your votes are worth slightly less than ours.

slight guide to netiquette.

It's good manners if you're coming here to get your stuff critiqued to introduce yourself first. Check out some of the threads, then ask for feedback. Especially if you want us to vote for you.

Then if you're response to criticism is,
"I wasn't trying, heck this is just some shit I splashed out on my phone. My actually jokes make audiences explode."
that's insulting.

So pardon me if I critique your poor manners.

I call my cat Hitler
Is he really evil?
No I'm so mean I only paid to have him half castrated.

I call my cat Shakespeare
Is he really a play-write?
No, we've just got no idea who the bastard's dad was. Tabby or not tabby?

OK. So some cat jokes are funny.

I think only a small number of jokes I do that get laughs would be funny to you all. I'm ok with that. Almost nothing on this thread struck me as funny. I do like some brittish comedy, but it's the stuff that translates well I guess. Thanks for the feed back and I've grown fond of all of you in as much of a way that you can grow fond of people in a forum.

I regularly get laughs doing stand up. I kill. I crush. I get applause breaks. I don't care if you think I'm funny and you aren't willing to address your out of place personal insults in a critique forum. You're too obtuse to get that. You just keep trying to step it up with the insults with each one being less funny than the one before it.You don't understand what I'm saying. I'm done going back and forth with you. Go put out your troll bait for some one else. Your the antithesis to what makes British comedy legendary. Your an awful representation of where such brilliance of the likes of Monty Python hails. if you ever do comedy in the states learn how to do a fake American accent because people like Ricky Gervais and the likes have set expectations that you can not touch. You would disappoint. Don't blame your self. Blame your fellow Brits for being so fu**ing funny. Again our discussion is over. Find some one else more impressionable and naive. You're a pathetic excuse for a Brit, mate.

3) I didn't laugh at any of the cat jokes, neither yours nor anyone else's;
4) Don't take it to heart. All the best.

I never insulted: "the audience" because they didn't find me funny. Did you read the posts in their entirety? It was a back and forth between one person and my self and it had nothing to do with him not liking the jokes.It's pretty clear I wasn't taking issue with him or anyone on here not liking my jokes, but the personal insults directed at me by one person. I didn't take issue with anyone saying they didn't like my jokes. I didn't argue that the jokes were funny, but you all just don't get them. I never conveyed any thing of that sentiment. Maybe it's my fault for not being prepared for personal insults. In the states, other comedians give you feedback, but they don't make fun of you personally. I just wasn't prepared for that.It's very different to make fun of someones work, then it is to make fun of them. We distinguish between the two. I don't think you guys do. Sooty must have thought that me taking issue with his personal insults meant I was taking issue with what he thought about my jokes. I wasn't. Why would you personally insult some one just because you don't like their jokes? Why not just insult the jokes them selves? Insulting someone personally doesn't pass for constructive criticism in the states. Even after saying all that I think some of you will still fail to see the difference between me taking issue with personal insults and not taking issue with insulting my jokes. It amazes me this concept seems to be almost impossible for a couple of you to grasp. I find it baffling. It's weird. Perhaps for you the two are just too intertwined. I don't know. I find it quite perplexing. I don't mean to sound condescending. It's sincerely confounding. I do recall piers morgan talking about how he was surprised that american audiences are okay with insulting some ones performance, but that americans don't like it if you insult the person. So I guess for you guys it's the same thing, but for me it's totally different. I never would have posted those jokes, if I knew this would have been the result. Not because you all didn't like them, but because the personal insults upset me and I got caught up in some thing very silly and got emotional over it. Shame on me, I suppose. The whole time sooty thought I was disagreeing with his opinion of my jokes. That wasn't the case. Thats not the fuc**ing case! I'm done trying to make this point, because it's obviously not getting through. Does anyone else get what I'm saying?

F**k me I know they don't have irony in the states but do they have paragraphs?

Sootyj was joshing with you in a character style by the way. Best of luck with the comp.

nb the real tragedy is in all this sniping.

Everybody missed my brilliant portmanteau of cat and badinage

"catinage" a word describing the back and forth jokey banter about cats.

A new word was born and nobody cared.

Sorry, I didn't catch it. Or should I say cat shit?

Ooh a twin!

Catshit.

Too hear something of little value, literally to hear cat shit.

Where can you find hundreds of screeching American kids? The Catermall.
