Comics are always "on," dontcha know

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on April 10th, 2009

What a steaming pile this one is. It’s from The Frisky. It’s by “Anonymous,” and it’s all about how this idiot dated a comedian for five months before deciding that she “felt invisible, ignored, and pissed” because the comedian “was always soliciting the laugh, like a kindergarten boy desperate for a gold star.”

We’re 99 per cent certain it’s fake. It’s probably a 70-year-old amateur fiction writer from St. Louis who can’t dream up anything that isn’t slathered with cliches. (One tipoff? Language such as, “I had gussied myself up for the occasion…” Gussied myself up? Who under the age of 92 uses that phrase? “Then a pair of hot blondes waltzed in…” Hot blondes? Waltzing in? There’s also mention of “a nice French restaurant.” This is what’s know in Fiction 101 as “lazy writing.”

The heroine finally dumps the jerk after five months! What kind of pathetic nitwit stays with someone who is so annoying for 150 days? Something doesn’t smell right. Several things don’t pass the sniff test.

It’s merely an excuse to dump on comedians, using sub-ordinary writing. It never should have made it to publication. It’s a fine illustration of why a website shouldn’t use anonymous submissions.

Check out the comments, too– it swerves into actor-bashing, too! Nice!
