They are putting pressure on me to bring the funny. But what people don't understand is that you can't be funny all the time. Or at the drop of a hat. You have to have something to riff off of to make a joke.
So we are filming from behind the counter. And the floor producer goes "Quick Jim give us one of your zingers." Zinger my ball bitch.
So I go "Okay the kids have left so let's go back to work. You know I work under Ike Turner's rules of management so don't make me go in the back and get my car antenna."
Everybody cracks up but the producer goes "That was great so get me something I can use." So I go "I work under Chris Martin's rule of management so get to work or I won't be able to go to the Grammy's this year."
I go to the back and the bigshot dude from BBC goes "Why were you talking about Chris Martin there Jim?" "Didn't he kick the shit out of Rhianna?" "No that is Chris Brown. He is the guy from Cold Play." "Well it still works. He must kick the shit out that bitch he is married to anyway."
You have to take your zingers when you can get them.

Some like their women battered. Others, plain.

Present!
Hard to perform when you're not in the mood?
You need a catchphrase.
I can't even follow the funny which I assume is funny but don't know is funny because the references fly right past me because I'm an old fart but more to the point I hope the show has a story line, not a strict story line but something the average yurtz like me can glom onto, jokes are great and all that but believe me when I say people LOVE PREDICTABILITY so there has to be something they come to expect and they GET every show. PREDICTABILITY. That's the ticket. With just enough funny to leaven the predictability. OK, genug shoyn.
It is not a matter of not being in the mood. It is a matter of not being able to always come up with a funny spot on the turn of a dime.
You can't be moody or a prima donna. You have to be humble. But we have to pull it out of our ass.
You can do it Troop, you've got an assfull of zingers!
Not even Bonham could keep up with all the rim shots on this thread.

I am so stealing that.
You know, if anyone could live with Paltrow and NOT beat the crap outta her, it's probably Chris Martin.
He looks like she might be able to take him.
"Make us laugh Joke Boy".
Tough, like producing poetry or a song at command.
BJM, you might be close to blasphemy on that line.
Hey Troop could you tell me how to view the comments that are after #200? I can't seem to get the newest ones to appear in another thread.
Troop: Never mind; I figured it out. BUT the 'newest' heading does not appear on the 'Leave your comment' page...only the original post page.
It seems that you have to click on the post and then all the comments will appear...or at least the link appears to get the comments after 200.
It is just another strange blogger miscue.
Nobody appreciates the old days when you could beat your wife with a stick if it wasnt thicker than your thumb.
And you'd think they'd appreciate your comedic wit!
I mean that was right out of the "Quiet Man."
"Here's a nice stick to beat the lovely lady."
