Check it out, and celebrate my 269th Lj update. 69! eh? EH? You know what I'm talkin' about. There have been some highs and lows, some entries were so long they entertained for hours some entries were so good they made you cry. But of course some were so short or awful they made you consider giving the whole thing up.....CHECK OUT THE INNUENDO IN THAT SENTENCE ! OH! Gregg Clark eat your heart out there's a new filthy pervert about, coming soon to a face near you.
Hey hang on...rewind *in style of badly performed infotainment group*. This isn't GemLil *points thumb behind them* She wasn't down with the kids in the hiz-house, she didn't make "on you face" jokes. Bring back the old Gemlil with her mildly entertaining, dreary, naive humour, harking back to a unrealistic ideology of the 19th Century, portrayed innocuously through the great British entertainment system. Romantically depicting the simple joys and non maleficence of the folk born of an era rife with corruption and feted streets. I hear you cry! But nay, I say to you, the "ball" gag can be delivered with little to no effort or wit; but provide laughs on an equal or greater scale than those regarding any other subject, not to do with procreation.
It's simple economics Low Input - High Output. What has happened to the High Input-High Output joke? The joke that required real mental tenacity? It has gone the way of old Yeller. I put to you the case of Graham Norton. A man who generates quite a bit of laughter from his fans but has the mental capacity of a Geordie and the wit of a bog brush. He is able to maintain a successful comedy career through the 'LOW INPUT - HIGH OUTPUT' format of what is technically reffered to as "The Knob Joke". This can also be extended to Julian Clairy. Bought about orginally by the 'Carry-On' movies, reinforced by Married with Children and finally cemented into the permanent comedy scene with 'Two Pints of Lager'. The latter two to me are funny. YES THEY ARE FUNNY, YES THEY MAKE YOU FEEL YOUNG and in touch with the sexuality we were so kindly given in the 1960's. But I ask you this? CAN YOU STAND A FUTURE OF ONLY KNOB JOKES? Can you stand a future of constant reminders of things looking phallic. I see a bleak future of bananas flanked either side by an apple. I forsee men walking around with tea cakes with cherries over their chests I forsee a sea of Bowling screens reading ASS or W.A.N.K..I know I've contributed AND GOD DAMN IT, I CANT TAKE BACK WHAT I'VE DONE!
I wage war and campaign to
BRING BACK THE WITTY JOKE.
