WTF is r/standupshots?

It's twitter with more pictures. It's gonewild with more jokes. It's AdviceAnimals with more people. It's standup for people with no attention span.

How to make a standup shot:

  • Find a bit you like.
  • Find a picture of the comic who said it, like this.
  • Type up the bit and put it on the picture, like this.
  • Upload the picture to imgur.com. Copy the address in the field that says "Link (email & IM)."
  • Put the link on /r/standupshots by clicking the Submit a Link button below. Put the imgur link in the URL field.
  • ???
  • Profit.

Make sure your submission credits the comic, either in the photo or the title. Shots that don't will be subject to removal. To be really cool, consider including their twitter or website information.

Comics, feel free to submit your own stuff. We don't care if you're famous as long as you're funny.

Don't put the punchline in the title. Be excellent to each other. Please turn off all cell phones and pagers. There is a two item minimum purchase per person in the showroom.

Comics:

To display your city next to your name, check the box that says "show my flair on this reddit" and click "edit" to type it in. And remember you can use the comments on your post to link to your videos and let people know where you'll be performing next!

This subreddit is reserved for standup shots only. But for general industry discussion and posting your videos, make sure to check out /r/standup.

Post not showing up?

Sort posts by New, and make sure you're looking at "New" posts, rather than "Rising."

If it's still not showing up, it's probably caught in the spam filter, which is naturally suspicious of new people. I'm clearing them out as quickly as I can, so if it isn't showing up now, it will be there ASAP. If you're still having trouble, hit the Message the Moderators button to turn on the bat-signal.

Hate memes? Looking for "real" comedy?

Then get off your ass and support your local comedy club or independent show. The only way comics make money is through live performance. Limiting yourself to standup on Comedy Central is like limiting yourself to music on MTV.

Laughed so hard, I coughed, and coughed, and spit out my beer.

Thanks Reddit! I'm juiced that of all the countless memes I've submitted over the last year, the one with the most upvotes has my ugly mug on it.

I laughed a little. Went and did something else. Then laughed some more. Then sat back down at my computer and laughed harder. And harder. Can't stop giggling now, thanks.

Don't forget about the pork-chop sideburns. Those are making a come back.

[–]Hamlet7768 1 point2 points ago

My old roommate has those. They're huge. And awesome.

[–]Bit_Chewy 2 points3 points ago

They went away?

[–]itsafakecool 2 points3 points ago

Fuck I woke people up in my house because of this.

[–]Condawg 3 points4 points ago

One of the best jokes I've seen on here. Good job, that's pretty fucking funny.

EDIT: Just watched your headline set on Youtube. "I named my dick Barack Obama, because it won't live up to your expectations." Funny as shit, man. I don't know if you ever go anywhere outside of CA, but if you ever find yourself in Seattle, I'm there.
