Comedy contest 41! (Blog 240)

Yes, I’ve done another contest with only one entrant. :( (I’m planning to do another, actually with the same act). Who cares? (Maybe that could be my catchphrase. Not a friendly one, but I think it would be different for any serious competition judge to say, and to be fair, being different can help you. Is Simon Cowell running out of presenting ideas? Time to go brutal. Originality won’t help you in the law profession for example, but it certainly can in the world of art, for another thing. Cool!) So, this month’s winner is Hidden Histories, again! I think that makes them a triple winner, technically speaking, but in Wiedemann Comedy land, that obviously means flip all. Let’s cut to the chase and post their video, below…

As you can see, it’s 14 minutes long and has only one theme - watching wrestling when on drugs secretly inserted into cakes. Not just an excellent example of abuse, it’s also an excellent example of minimalism, and HH do their own music, too! (Also somewhat minimalistic in this case). I have to say I’m envious of their musical abilities. I mean I TRY to sound cool, but I never really pull it off. I guess I’m no Steven Tyler. I think he’s pretty cool. That’s in contrast to another artist I can think of who shout at old ladies, then writes songs about that. Good guitarist, though. Very… passionate… You could say. On another note, you may wonder why I never make Youtube videos of me, and that’s because I’m basically an odd person, and my material would only be entertaining in a morbid curiosity way. Kind of like watching those heavy metal grannies. As I intend to be a heavy metal granddad myself, what chance have I got, really? And I’m strange even when I’m relaxed. You should have seen me when I forgot to take my meds! I was basically the same, but I was starting to lose my ability to withhold my thoughts. Can you imagine what would happen if I spoke to people the way I blogged? Awkward.

Anyway, HH are certainly not like me, and could easily make podcasts as well as videos. And would you believe HH are SO honest. Lesser people would say they took ages with their work to up the ‘effort’ score, but this case was apparently made pretty quickly. This may sound dramatic, but lesser people would also threaten to kidnap me if I didn’t give a better all-round grade, but fortunately that’s never happened, not even from the acts that shout a lot, which are numerous. Call me paranoid, but again, when you hear so many screams from people who get so much support and so many laughs, it does alter your thinking. Makes you wonder what more antisocial people are like. Oh, no. Harold Shipman. But to be clear, I don’t think HH will capture me. If they DO, they will receive my first ‘Special Thumbs Down’ and perhaps worse than the disgrace, they’d get arrested after my spectacular SAS style escape. Is it offensive to accuse people of being kidnappers? If so, please accept my deepest apologies, HH. (Told you I was weird. :( Luckily I don’t really have to worry about employability. Phew!)

Now to change the subject! Not too long ago, Texas was completely frozen over by snow and their power went out. I find it interesting the way so many turtles were rescued at that point. Who thinks to themselves ‘Oh no, we’ve got no heating and no way to communicate with the rest of the world… But what about those cute little animlas?? They’re adorable!’ Doesn’t that sound random to you? I mean the residents meant well and I’m sure the animals were grateful (if not confused), but would turtles ever save people first, if THEY were in danger? I hope they would, but I doubt it. And that’s all from me! Bye!
