Comedy Contest 30! (Blog 187)

Let’s start this blog with a warning: This is a standup comedy contest blog. As you may have guessed, that means there’s a strong likelihood the winner and indeed all contestants go around killing people. Why? Well, after many many months, I STILL don’t know. Maybe I never will, just as I don’t know why I give them so much support. Such help doesn’t seem logical for someone wanting to stay out of prison. Don’t be too scared though, because this month’s winner Michael Zoupa doesn’t want to kill anyone, he actually says he’s glad the world is a safer place for women, now. Interestingly, he doesn’t say he wants men to be safer, but I’m sure that was plain forgetfulness. Us creatives have natural logic deficiencies and must be kept away from accountants for example, so we don’t infect them. However having said that, Zoupa does support arson in understandable situations. (Well I think understandable, I’m not completely sure I got the joke. People laughed, though. You can be the judge if it was understandable, by following the link, below).

Part of the reason I made this guy win, was because he has his own distinctive style. How did he develop it? My theory is he’s so obnoxious, no one wants to be around him, so he has lots of time to himself to practice. Only joking, that insight only really applies to me. Still though, whenever someone is very good at something, I do at least have the thought ‘is this guy a moron? Let’s investigate.’ But to be clear, Michael is NOT a moron. He is actually very entertaining. A bit self-centred maybe, but in this Facebook age, that is nothing unusual at all. Maybe harmful though, as apparently narcissism-promoting social media/narcissism in general is damaging to society, but again, I’m not saying Michael is destroying mankind. Not single-handedly, anyway. Joking again, not at all. In fact, after doing a little research about this person (don’t worry, I’m not stalking him, I just Googled his book he mentioned, and I got a bio), he’s a professional martial artist! But he didn’t mention that in his routine! How humble! Turns out, he’s actually saving humanity. :O Anyway, check out his stuff, below!

Now to change the subject! Justin Beiber fans DO know his new(ish) song ‘yum yum yums’ or whatever is dumb right? I mean come on, they’re not crazy? How would they feel if they heard a tramp sing it, for example? Would they be impressed? Of course not. ‘You’ve got that yum yum yum’ doesn’t even make sense. It’s ‘you ARE yum yum yum’. (Though even that sounds pretty stupid). Who’s ever heard a fully grown man describe anything as ‘yummy’? If I made a meal for someone and he said it was ‘yummy’ I’d wonder ‘is he taking the mick?’ If he said ‘you’ve got that yum yum yum’, I’d know he was. Yum yum yums is even worse than ‘baby, baby, baby, oh!’ grammatically speaking and was that taken seriously in academic circles? No! Still though, who am I to criticise someone so successful? Maybe I could learn from him. How’s this for a future blog? ‘I blogged that contest, con, that contest, con, that contest, con… ’ :S Maybe JB himself would subscribe to me! Bye!
