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.

Alright, I'd be an idiot not to say 1) thank you Reddit for liking this joke, and 2) follow me on Twitter if you feel so inclined! http://twitter.com/collierrobbie.

Thanks again everybody. The internet is magic, I tell ya!

[–]hicknasty 2 points3 points ago

This is a solid joke. Well done.

[–]purpleleash88 2 points3 points ago

Get it Robbie!

did you get its autograph?

[–]blade2000 0 points1 point ago

"...believe it or believe it?" Did he stutter during the joke?

[–]BobCOYLERNew! York! City![S] 25 points26 points ago

Ha! heyblade2000! Well the common phrase is believe it or not, I was implying in the setup that pretty much everyone believes I didn't start having sex until I was 23. Just a turn of phrase.

[–]seeeymour 3 points4 points ago

Believe it or believe it was the best bit! :)

[–]alsoilikebeer 2 points3 points ago

Great line :)

How is nobody mentioning the typo?

[–]MattLiebSan Francisco 2 points3 points ago

What typo? I don't see it.

[–]is-this-kosher 2 points3 points ago

I think nerfherder111 is referring to "believe it or believe it" as the typo - although it could just be a quirky way of saying "believe it or not".
