Is it acceptable to twist a joke that is found on the internet?
Does it seem im trying too hard to copy current comedians by making the jokes like a story?
Should I just simply tell jokes?
My new and improved script (stand up) Page 2
The Minstrels have released their own Call of Duty game. Black Ups.

It's up to you. What current comedians are you thinking of? You can take inspiration from anywhere you want. Just be careful when borrowing ideas from elsewhere. It's stealing and VERY frowned upon.
pun Black ups sounds like black ops
Jokes can be worked into stories I find that easier usually.

You see. I took a reference you didn't get. Now older people wouldn't necessarily know what COD was. See how it works?
There's a video on YouTube of a 13 year old Seth Rogen doing stand-up that you should check out. He doesn't pretend to be older than he is, he just talks about his life. The audience either get it, or they don't.
As you're 15 this reads like you're reminiscing about stuff that happened last week, which then comes across a bit dishonest.
Yeah definitely make videos, just keep trying different stuff, and sketches too. Good luck!
Im not sure who it was but he was a fat bloke with long hair not sure for name
I tend to look at making a joke about a joke sometimes and make it as if it happened to me

I'm kinda hurt you didn't laugh. That's the first joke I've written in years!

It's a very good one.

Mr Pie here is definitely a testament to this. From comic strips, animation to live action. He's doing it all and it's great.
