Something I find weird: people who make ‘being funny’ part of their identity, but …aren’t. And i don’t mean, their jokes are bad per se, I mean they just regurgitate shit they’ve heard other people say.
I’ve got a mate who thinks he’s hilarious, but rather than y’know, actually being funny, he just recycles things he’s heard elsewhere. Really fucking basic stuff, too, like “I only drink twice a year. When it’s raining, and when it’s not.” that kinda 70s Saturday Night Variety Show rubbish. His Facebook statuses are invariably jokes he’s nicked from elsewhere, too.
It’s weird to me because I enjoy making people laugh with my own brain-words, and deploying someone else’s feels like winning a pub quiz by Googling the answers.
