There is a competition, at the Dead Frog website that I linked above.
A local competition, just on TFP? I would rather you guys go see the movie.
It isn't about the joke, it is about the culture and history of the joke, about how each comedian makes it different.
As a matter of fact, there was one performer that said this:
(/ben paraphrasing) It isn't about the punch-line. The punch-line isn't all that funny. It is about the journey. How far can you take your audience? In today's age of bottled sit-coms, what do you have?
Set-up, Punch-line
Set-up, Punch-line
Set-up, Punch-line
Set-up, Punch-line
Oh, look at that funny situation. This joke is the antithesis of that. This flys in the face of comedy, and really shows what you can do if you let yourself get into it.
If you want a competition, let me save you the time and trouble. Clavus wins.
