people facts comedy
If comedy is about surprises, about tension, there's a lot of tension and surprise there, in the fact that people are expecting this to be natural.
hoe feminist knows
Bitches and hoes don't exist because the hoes know Bo's a feminist.
bipolar bears mets
I met a bipolar bear. He laughed, cried, then wanted a threesome.
comedian watches comedy
I'm friends with a lot of comedians, but we don't talk about material. Most comedians I know don't watch a lot of other comedy.
levels unexpected comedy
For me, if you distill comedy down, it is surprise and the unexpected. That has to be it on its most base level, in any form.
hands guy hahaha
Humour is often linked to shared experience. Like, a guy gets up and says, "Have you noticed public restrooms have really inefficient hand-dryers?" Oh my God, yes I have, hahaha, really good point, they should... fix that. It's good to know that somebody finally gets me!
thinking years feelings
At the time of 'Words, Words, Words,' I'm a 19-year-old getting up feeling like he's entitled to do comedy and tell you what he thinks of the world, so that's inherently a little bit ridiculous.
believe i-believe should
I believe, firmly, that women are always right. Ah, I should actually rephrase that: I... don't.
strong struggle thinking
The biggest danger, for me, with making yourself your act is that a lot of people with think they know you for better or worse. That's an ongoing struggle with me and it can get really trippy sometimes. I try to be strong about it and assure myself that only my close friends and family can really pass judgement on me personally, but it's impossible to not let it get to you.
meaningful character needs
My persona is most importantly just to communicate the material in a way that is most funny and meaningful in the moment. It's more like a character that's sculpted for whatever joke needs communicating at the moment.
bible jesus kindness
Do unto others as you would have them do to you, said the rapist.
writing thinking ideas
When things [writing] are over, I always think, 'well, I'm never going to do anything again because I have no ideas so I'm going to go be a farmer'. Or else ideas will come and and if not then I become a farmer. Hopefully won't happen.
philosophy school math
I thought I wanted to be a physicist in high school until I learned that there was much more math than philosophy in it. I assumed I would just sit around all day and think.
funny dirty humor
All you god damn dirty Catholics can cath-o-lick my balls.
