Short jokes

Just some little jokes I came up. Are they too predictable? Are they funny? Should I dare to do stand up one day?

I saw a fat man buying some slimfast the other day. I said to him "That's a waste of time. The whole slimfast regime never truly works out. And by the looks of it, neither do you"

I came home the other night and caught my girlfriend in bed with my best friend. Obviously I was furious and had to take severe measures. So I made him sleep out in his kennel that night.

No recommendation but they made me laugh. ;)

The first one was pretty average but the second one was good. Would work in stand up.

Yeah good stand up jokes, funny.

The first fell flat, but I liked the second.

Go? Go steady?

Second one = very good. First one not so.

second is pretty good. 1st one is an in passing/sitcom style of joke to keep the audience on the boil.

No one goes steady with David Bussell. To be loved by David Bussell is to rape the whirlwind.

Both funny to me and sort of Jimmy Carr/Tim Vine-y sort of one-liners. Depends on what sort of stand-up you want to be, but you might have to weave a long story in and out and use these along the way.

I’d like to be a one liner man. At first anyway.

I think I’ll spend some time writing some and see what I come up with. Then look into themes to support them.

If you like one liners, you seriously need to check this guy out...

Demtri Martin is very much a jokesmith of one liners... I truely suggest anyone who likes clever little one liners (or Jimmy Carr) to give him a watch.

That's a good idea.
