How well does this work live? Reading it, I love the initial joke, but I think the tags diminish it a little.

[–]subweirdDallas[S] 2 points3 points ago

Nothing I do works well live.

[–]MGubserOakland 2 points3 points ago

Shut up. It's a great joke. I just think the tags jump the Sarlaac.

[–]101112 1 point2 points ago

(Raises hand.) What are tags?

[–]subweirdDallas[S] 1 point2 points ago

It's like a follow up joke.

Someday, somebody's going to make a mint publishing a "how to" guide, or reference book on standup.

[–]subweirdDallas[S] 0 points1 point ago

I know a place that has free mints.

PUNS!

[–]MGubserOakland 1 point2 points ago

Standard joke structure is: set-up ( I don't like the government) punchline (for telling me my Bobba Fett helmet isn't legit)

A tag is an additional joke that plays off of the same premise, without needing additional set-up. So it looks more like:

set-up punchline tag tag etc...

This is so similar to a man page, all we need is a while (light_is_on) { } and we've got the beginning of a comedy program.

Sweet Jesus - please don't anybody get stoned tonight & try to write one.
