One of the fringe benefits of watching the Brian Craig Show on YouTube is hearing the comments that Brian, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, makes during the commercial breaks. One such time was today when Brian read a joke that I texted him that was deemed too spicy to go over the airwaves.
BTW, I sort of get a nice high whenever I am in joke writing mode. When I lived in La-La Land I used to write jokes for comedians and quite a few of the jokes that you would read in Hustler back then were written by Yours Truly. The funny thing is they bought the WORST jokes I wrote not the good ones.
My Uncle Marty who was considered a bartenders bartender was great at his craft not only because he was very good at mixing drinks (and he never touched a drop alcohol himself) but because he could go through an entire shift telling non-stop jokes. He was head bartender at JFK Airport in New York and the mob guys used to love to go to his bar just to hear him tell nonstop jokes. One day when I was a kid when he was driving us on a road in the country I asked him how he could tell nonstop jokes all the time an he told me you have get your mind in a place to piece things together. I didn't know what the hell he was talking about so he said, "You see that tree? You see that telephone pole? You see that bird?" When I answered "Yes" he said, "Quick! Make a joke using all three of those things you see!" Of course, I couldn't but I understood the principle of what he was trying to get across.
Years later, after some practice, I was able to approach what Uncle Marty could do. (But only approach, not master it like he could.)
So this morning I was on a joke high. Besides the joke Brian read, I sent him a couple of more jokes based on what he was talking about on the air. One joke I wrote hit me when I heard Brian talking to a really annoying caller named Helen and they were talking about religious conversion and circumcision. Circumcision! How could I not joke about it? Well, added to those two elements is the fact that Brian is a YUUUUUUUGE Star Trek fan. In fact he was supposed to go to Georgia this weekend to visit Star Trek sets there but had to cancel out at the last minute.
Okay, I had conversion, circumcision, and Star Trek to work with and came up with this joke that I also texted him: "When the Star Trek crew convert they get Kirkumcised."
Finally, due to a discussion about puberty blockers for teens, I wrote up a joke somewhat related to the first one: "Q: What do you call a puberty blocking clinic? A: Schwing Busters."
And good night to you Uncle Marty wherever you are. (And I know you are still telling jokes on the spot.)
Probably true but I also posted above that it could also have been a matter of him about to be drafted so he joined the Merchant Marine. And soon after shipping out the War ended so he returned to his beloved long afternoon naps.
Uncle Marty told a turkey joke that was so dirty, complete with obscene hand gestures, that it shocked the rest of the family into embarrassed silence....
Think of humblegunner as FR’s Uncle Marty. I don’t know why anyone gives a guy on the internet the power to work them into a lather, but some do.
I had an Uncle that could go like your Uncle Marty. Then one day he had a stroke and lost his ability to articulate. Very frustrating for him. It was hard to communicate simple things in his life, let alone the complexities of jocularity. My greatest joy with him was getting a laugh or chuckle out of him the last 4 or so years of his life. Here’s to all the Uncle Martys out there, long may they reel them off.
Why do jokes have to be spicey? I frankly dislike most comedians because they are not funny, they simply push the edge which is funny to SOME people. But when you look at real humor, (Bob Hope, Stephen Wright) ... there isn’t sex or edginess involved).
Flynt offered many female celebrities a $Million to pose in Hustler, knowing full well that they wouldn't do it. Lots of people sent in nude photos of their wives/girlfriends and took a little bit of money if they were published. I’d say Flynt called all women whores. He was just haggling over the price.
Sorry but Uncle Marty NEVER called someone wife's a wh--- even in a joking manner. Plus it came out of nowhere from humble in an extremely ANGRY, not at all joking, manner. So no, not at all like Uncle Marty.
Most comedians cater to drunks. Their jokes aren’t funny or even relatable to sober people.
I didn’t see the thread/post, and have no idea of the context. If you were the target, then I assume, based on what I remember of the history between the two of you, that he was going for an extreme reaction. He got one.
That is because his vile posts (there were two that said the same) were REMOVED by the administrator. Just a couple of weeks earlier he equally offended another freeper to the extent that JimRob told him to "Knock it off." Too clueless to cool it, he quickly relapsed. Oh, and I didn't even get into the very racist angle of his insult. And I'm not one who makes that charge easily but in his case... If you are really curious to know what that was you can contact me via FreepMail because I don't care to repeat it in public.
That’s funny right there!
And name something you can’t buy at the BX any more.
I’m 77 years old, and this morning, I woke up with a stiffy.
Unfortunately, it was in my neck.
