...Not just any comedian. My plan is to gain weight so I can make fat jokes about myself. eg, how I wont be able to see my penis, how I get stuck in water slides, etc.

What do you guys think?

I think you have been watching too much television.

That was on 'Real Stories' like two months ago.

You're replicating the story of a guy that doesn't exist because he was the work of a tv show that satirises current affair shows. =]

Funny nonetheless.

I think that idea is laughable (haha, get it? comedian... laughable... haha... oh dear :(). I also think fat jokes are yesterday's news and won't help you make the big time.

If you're going to be a comedian, do it about funny things that happen to you in your daily life - don't try to create funny things, just observe life and comment on it or something. Trying to force such things is just meh, and it won't get you anywhere.

Seems stupid to make yourself fat just to get some cheap laughs. Fat jokes are funny, but if you rely on them to be funny, you won't last long.

Mainly due to the clogging and the death and stuff :bigsmile:

But seriously, with a dry cool wit like that, you should be an action hero. :O_O:

Being self-ironic is funny... I can tell you that much :)

Quoting Bart Simpson by chance? :p

Personally, I think it sounds like a baaaaad idea. :-/

Edit: both Homer and Bart said it. :p Itchy and Scratchy Land episode! : D

Nope. Homer :bigsmile:. I just fancied chucking it in. Just like Hobo should do with his comedian career.

I usually don't find comedians that amusing. So to me a fat man making fat jokes about not being able to see his own penis and getting stuck on a water slide isn't amusing. But then I don't find most comedians amusing anyway, so you need not really be concerned about that. Their are plenty of cheap gigglers to keep comedians in business. You don't have to be funny to be a comedian, you just have to make people laugh.

What the hell? Ok so you are a somewhat funny guy? and to make a career of being a comedian you're willing to gain like 10 stone in fat? (fat jokes only work when the comedien is truly obese by the way) Get your ass back to reality will you? Seriously, getting fat and making fat jokes will not make you any more funny. It would be like saying Chris Rock should make himself white so his white boy jokes are funnier. Funny is something you either have or don't have.

Leering at fat people is assault.

Every comedian who's a touch overweight makes at least one joke about their overweightness. It's been driven into the ground multiple thousands of times.

It's one thing just saying you're gonna be a comedian. But it's a completely different think being a comedian. For a start, you have to be funny. LEE EVANS RULES!!!

You shouldn't do that. :(

It's okay to be funny, but not at other people's (including your) expense.
