*cough* Sorry, I was listening to SNSD's Run Devil Run...XD I don't LOVE the song, it's catchy and everything, I don't love the dance either, but THE PICTURE OF IT IS AWESOME! This picture to be more specific:
Yep...
I don't know what to do. I want to start one of my one shots that I've been DYING to do which is a visual kei one shot, too. But...I've run out of my visual kei juice...TT^TT All I'm listening to today is stuff like this:
XD I know, it's really...ermmm...what's the word? Old fashioned, I guess? Nerdy? I dunno...but it's SUCH a catchy song! TT^TT I like Pizzicato Five and any other shibuya-kei groups...In fact, I now have a shibuya-kei hair style (which I think is the BEST hair style I've ever had).
But I'm planning on watching lots of visual kei videos tonight (since I get to stay up late). But anybody else find that you can't draw anything if you are in pain? For some reason I could draw TONS of stuff this morning, but now I can't draw as well as this morning and I have a slight art block...
I went to the orthodontist today and got brackets on my molars...waaay back there, so my teeth hurt...And I can't think or draw...Oh! Also at the orthodontist they have a TV there always on a random channel. This time it was on the Disney Channel which I NEVER watch and I HATE. And I found out more reasons why.
Some...Zack and Cody...On Board? I think that's what it was called...well, I watch ONE episode of that while waiting...IT WAS TERRIBLE! TT^TT Not only were their jokes not funny, but THEY WERE UNORIGINAL! They did the whole thing where the guy was going to say 'You're a pain in the ass', but changes it for something else to censor it...Yep...Not funny at all, and it gets REALLY annoying when that's always in kids shows. ALSO they had the laughing thing...y'know, fake audience laughter...Like every time they said something there would be fake laughter...I wasn't sure what was a joke and what wasn't...It was unbelievable annoying and stupid. Also, I never REALLY looked at the actors or whatever, but every time I see that skater boy hair-do I think of Yuya Tegoshi...
Also, about those unfunny jokes. I HATE IT when new stand-up comedians, or recently popular stand up comedians say ONE funny joke, that wasn't even theirs and they get TONS of laughter. Well, there is one that seems to be REALLY popular. But I hear it ALL the time. It goes kinda like this:
'Y'know why adults keep asking kids what they want to be when they grow up? To get ideas!'
Okay, so it's funny the first time, but...then you get annoyed when SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE SAY THE SAME THING. I think it first came from Paula Poundstone. Oooh! Watch! She's hilarious (I love her style, too, she asks the audience questions and then makes jokes from that):
It's in the middle somewhere.
I watched another lady's stand up from around the same time, the '90's. She wasn't funny and her comedy got old. She would start telling you a story, and then she'd add in random words in there to make it sound worse than it really is. For instance one she would be saying 'So I stopped smoking...crack...' Of course, she was kidding, and it WOULD be funny if she didn't do that EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE TOLD A STORY! But Paula just says her jokes normally, like she is just talking and just so happens to be funny. I really like that.
I like looking at different comedians' styles. Like George Carlin's style is that he starts going ON AND ON AND ON REALLY REALLY FAST and then starts getting more and more angrier and starts saying the f word over and over again. And then his point makes no sense, and that's just hilarious! XD
Then Eddie Izzard explains his stories with actions and as he's telling the story he starts acting out the whole thing so we're watching him doing something AND talking really fast and the fact that he's doing all of that is just so funny. Super multi-tasking while telling a funny story is REALLY funny.
Ricky Gervais does this thing where he has more human reactions to things, innocent reactions. Like 'no, no I don't know what you're talking about,' and lots of ignorant stuff to what they're talking about. Like confusion kind of. That's also really hilarious! They way he tells his stories from different angles making the characters in the stories more like a real person than the black and white we're used to.
Most other comedians just say their jokes, then laugh about it, and that's not at all what a good comedian does. A good comedian has a style that original and makes it seem more real like it just popped into their head. I was watching on guy, and he would interrupt the audience's cheering to go onto his next joke, which you could tell was a joke because you could clearly identify the parts of a joke, y'know, with the beginning, middle, and punch line (probably not the actual names of the parts, but I don't know that much about what parts of jokes are called). That's very boring and unreal and I just don't see how people can laugh at that. You have to give your jokes like you never wrote jokes.
Well...It's almost time for me to go and have dessert and then watch videos on youtube (for inspiration, what?) sooo...Bye-bye, dears! ^ ^
