Quote: catskillz @ February 25 2010, 10:13 PM GMTMy idea of a perfect relationship is similar to the one DR. Cox and his wife have on Scrubs. I find it a real turn-on when a girl can take the piss out of me really well.
Good example catz, although I think all the relationships on Scrubs are well observed, and have found myself in them at one stage of my life or another.
Quote: Marc P @ February 25 2010, 10:12 PM GMTGive 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!

Both great.
Made me laugh.

"What you see is what you get - they've banned that phrase at the School for the Blind" But it's a very touchy feely kind of place.
"My friend told me I was like a cat on a hot tin roof. ' So I spent a night on the tiles and got my arse burned.

As Sunshine says, good jokes!
Keep 'em coming and prove 'em all wrong!
Girl Power!
To be honest, I think in a couple of years all of this 'men funnier than women' nonsense will be looked at with the scorn it deserves, because there will be so many outlets for every demographic that main stream humour will be so vanilla it won't relate to anyone.

One day women will be as funny as men (because by then all comedy will be shit)
Think things are already changing a bit. A few women doing very well (and beating the men) at gong shows up here at the mo.
Girl power indeed!
It's like food. I don't care who cooks it... so long as it is tasty.

I do worry about the future of comedy, there seems to be so much emphasis on 'not offending' that a lot of opportunities can't be explored because of the fear of offending.
I like watching comedies that relate to me, but I need comedies that give me insight to others, and help me relate to their lives too.

All I got there was blah-blah-blah-blah-blah help me blah-blah-blah.
Comedy isn't a thing it's a tone. Artefacts pass, human understanding and expression doesn't.
Badge,
You've met me when I was sober.... do you think it's a good idea to goad me when I've had a drink?
Quote: Badge @ February 25 2010, 10:53 PM GMTAll I got there was a beautifully put argument befitting a woman of great charm, intellect, humour and wisdom.

In the next episode of Doctors you write, try and have one of your characters say that. 
Badge,
not sure where that quote was pulled from, but I know you are one of the guys on here that appreciates 'funny', no matter if it's a women saying it.
