HOLY FUCKING ASS!
I just had the most INSANE talk on my comic SN. Jesus H. Christ!
No, it wasn't actually Jesus, but this guy apparently thought he was some SORT of humor Jesus, and his goal was saving my soul from eternal joke-flop damnation!
Anyway, the conversation is QUITE lenghty, so I'll just give you excerpts.
JustInTheBlack: i've been wanting to impart unto thee: my writer sense tells me that the rap comic would have been funnier if randy had just said "STAB Magnet!" at the end.
JustInTheBlack: something less verbose, anyway
MattRwwR: eh
MattRwwR: people are dumber than you think
MattRwwR: they needed to be reminded that chick magnet was previously said in the comic
JustInTheBlack: it's a comic strip, not a book, man
JustInTheBlack: are you catering to the dumb quotient here anyway?
JustInTheBlack: oh. well, point
MattRwwR: so by being more verbose i'm catering to the dumb?
JustInTheBlack: yeah
JustInTheBlack: wordieness ain't cool
MattRwwR: lol
JustInTheBlack: A man walks into a bar wearing a toga, Timberland boots and a fireman helmet with a pair of pomeranians hanging from his earlobes and yells, "Keep the drinks with paper umbrellas in them comin', or I'll sing Like A Virgin! ACCOMPANIED BY A KAZOO!"
JustInTheBlack: that
JustInTheBlack: tell me that ain't worth a chuckle
MattRwwR: i didn't even smirk
JustInTheBlack: that's because i'm telling you your job
JustInTheBlack: so you're pissed at me
MattRwwR: no
MattRwwR: it's because we have different senses of humor
MattRwwR: mine, which is able to be 'transmitted' AND understood by a large audience
JustInTheBlack: hah
MattRwwR: and yours...well...yours tries to catch a chuckle by throwing 'buzzwords' in without setting up any sort of punchline or using any bit of wit
MattRwwR: no situational humor, no personality play
MattRwwR: it's all, "look at me, I'm saying stupid shit"
JustInTheBlack: be aware that just saying "stab magnet" might need different inflection. the simplest way would be to
JustInTheBlack: just eliminate "more like"
JustInTheBlack: that really stuck in my craw
MattRwwR: hehe
MattRwwR: so your ideal line would be...?
JustInTheBlack: "Chick magnet? STAB magnet."
MattRwwR: ah
MattRwwR: so we're going without any sort of verbs
MattRwwR: just shouting words
JustInTheBlack: not wordy, but reminds the audience.
MattRwwR: sw33t...
JustInTheBlack: hey
JustInTheBlack: that's randy
MattRwwR: lol, yea, you're right. you would probably know my own friend better than myself =)
JustInTheBlack: plus, "******? more like ******!" format is a cliche
MattRwwR: cliche in what regard?
JustInTheBlack: i know the character. it's the character, not the person i need to know
JustInTheBlack: it's overused
JustInTheBlack: it's a template. you just plug the nouns in
JustInTheBlack: that's lazy writing
JustInTheBlack: y'see waht i mean?
MattRwwR: lol
MattRwwR: good God, this is hilarious
JustInTheBlack: it's gotten more serious than a simple disagreement over dialogue and has become a lecture on writing...
MattRwwR: yea
MattRwwR: coming from someone who thinks he's an english teacher
MattRwwR: encouraging the use of no verbs
JustInTheBlack: this ain't english, it's writing
JustInTheBlack: in fictional dialogue, grammar is not important - That still fucking kills me.-Matt
AND THEN...
JustInTheBlack: all right, all right
JustInTheBlack: i'll shut up if ya want
JustInTheBlack: i mean, as far as so-called advice goes
MattRwwR: i'm fine with advice, though not from you, AND here's why:
MattRwwR: you say one thing
MattRwwR: and later on, you say something that COMPLETELY contradicts it
MattRwwR: and you also say REALLY dumb things
MattRwwR: such as
MattRwwR: JustInTheBlack: this ain't english, it's writing
MattRwwR: i nearly crapped when i read that
MattRwwR: I appreciate the 'help'
JustInTheBlack: the acedemic subjects of english and creative writing have definite differences
MattRwwR: but keep in mind, i have the audience i have for a reason
MattRwwR: and it's not cuz i'm so fucking pretty
MattRwwR: i THINK i have a good handle on what i'm doing here
JustInTheBlack: *whistles, stares at the ceiling*
MattRwwR: if you don't agree, i dont care
MattRwwR: you still read every one, apparently
MattRwwR: for SOME reason
JustInTheBlack: yeah
JustInTheBlack: you don't do crap
MattRwwR: so yes
MattRwwR: i need to get going
JustInTheBlack: *shrug*
MattRwwR: later
JustInTheBlack: cya
He didn't have so much to say about THAT!
I <3 Retards.
