funny humor garbage-disposal
My plumbing is all screwed up. Because it turns out, I do not own a garbage disposal.
funny im-sorry nice
I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you'd be like, 'huh? What the hell is this?' But if it's in a fruit basket you're like, 'this is nice!'
character men games
I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey, man, what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!'
morning track looking-forward
And my only rule being if when I wake in the morning I'm looking forward to the things that I have to do that day, then I'm on the right track.
fall animal expression
When you're wearing an animal costume and something bad happens, your facial expression doesn't change. The animal is deadpan the whole time. If you're skiing in a gorilla suit and you fall, you just see a gorilla who has no emotion. It's just a stoic gorilla, wildly falling down a hill, out of control.
brain say-anything together
I want to get the joke to work without having to put any words or to say anything. I just want the person to look at it, and quietly in their brain, they can just put it together and say, "Cool, that one works".
funny moving humor
If I have to move up in a building, I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was riding the escalator and I tripped. I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.
moving hands mind
I can move objects with my mind..... if I use my hands!
funny humor writing
I think it would be cool if you were writing a ransom note on your computer, if the paper clip popped up and said, 'Looks like you're writing a ransom note. Need help? You should use more forceful language, you'll get more money.'
fun play challenges
Another thing that I like and that's fun for me is to try and talk and play music at the same time, because I feel like I'm learning something. There are these little challenges built into it; it's a way to push myself a little bit more as a performer.
nice ignorance discovery
It's interesting to be an adult and to have that level of ignorance about something, because the nice part about is you get that discovery. The learning curve is so rich and steep.
funny witty humorous
If you can't tell a spoon from a ladle, then you're fat!
funny humor size
I went into a clothing store, and the lady asked me what size I was. I said, 'Actual'. I'm not to scale.
nostalgia remember used
I remember when I used to be really into nostalgia.
