Now that is The Funny!

Excellent job Marianne, I know I am unable to do such things.

…but at the end of the night I was like “hey, keep in touch, don’t be a stranger” and he gave me this really weird look, so i muttered “or be a stranger and go fuck yourself.”… quote]

This was fuckign hilarious. Seriously…great freaking line. the say you shoudl start and end strong…this should be your end…and leave out the “it just came out part”…just so 'be a stanger, and Go Fuck yourself! I’m Marieanne noona, and you guys have been great, thx" Drop the mic on the stage and walk off.

I read the other material you are working on, and you certainly are getting a good amount of ‘dating’ material to make it a strong finish.

I tried to do stand-up a couple of times…nothing extreme, just some open mics.

i did the whole 'carry a notebook and wirter down funny shit; thing, and tried to piece it all together.

The last time I did it…got up, stared at the crowd…forgot everythign i wanted to say…and walked off. I then paced the parking lot for about 45min (freezing my ass off) reciting my stuff over and over again.

Walked back in, and delived my stand up…i think I got 3 little laughs…but hey, i did it.

Looks like you have a gig at Caroline’s Monday night…good luck!

Let’s see if i can redeem myself from a shitty quote attempt.

^hey, thanks for watching! and by the way, I do get a lot of material by carrying my notebook around. But I just do freewrites about stuff I was thinking about before. examples:

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night…and wish you had a bed pan?

It seems to me as if networking is really just kissing some ass so someone will give a you a job. If you’re lucky maybe you’ll get an internship. Which is really glorified slavery. Slavery is still alive and well in America, under the guise of an internship.

I really have no desire to be famous. It just seems like too much of a responsibility. I wanna be able to walk down the street and make a jackass out of my self and not have to read about it in Page 6 of the NY Post. which isn’t even on Page 6, why do they call it that? Or I dont wanna find a picture of myself smoking a bong in US Weekly. There is a section in US Weekly called The Stars are just like us. There was a picture of Ben Affleck walking out of the grocery store with a big stash of Toliet Paper, thats my favorite one. The stars are just like us. their shit stinks just as bad as ours does!

Good stuff FB. I like your wit and down-home NYC attitude… very good… :slight_smile:

Bump, this ruled, nicely done!!!

dude marianne that video was funny as shit. i love your style, it’s very laid back and sorta unpredictable. id love to see more clips of your stand-up.

“can’t you at least buy a smile?” :laughing: :clap: :laughing: :clap:

youtube video was hilarious, and i mean it. definitely need to get “brave the ass crunch” in there. some really funny stuff tho.

also, on a side note, did y’all see on the simpsons 20th anniversary special or know already that “d’oh” is also in the oxford english dictionary. i just thought of that cuz the first time i heard “meh” was on the simpsons.

Ok everyone, here is my newest comedy appearance.
The end part is a bit of trainwreck. but no matter!

“a couple like two weeks ago”

Ok, so my friend Tara who runs The Healthy Hippie Magazine asked me to do a humor column. I’m pretty stoked since I’ve always thought writing a column would be fun.
Here is my first draft. Let me know what you think.

First attempt at humor column
by M.Nonna

The unsung heroes at any outdoor music festival are, of course, the portopotty cleaners. I make sure to thank them any chance I get. Clean bathrooms mean happy campers. While you are running around festival grounds trying to see as much music as humanly possible, its nice to have a tidy spot to sit down and relieve yourself every once in awhile.
It’s unfortunate that many people have no respect for the portopotties and they turn in bio hazard zones. What gets me is that when people will line the toilet seat with toilet paper, and then leave it there for the next person. That is even grosser than sitting on the bare toilet seat. How dirty could the ass have been that sat there before? I mean really. It’s even worse when people just decide to squat and end up peeing all over the seat, and don’t bother to clean up after themselves.
I usually just give the seat a good wipe before I sit down. At festivals my porto potty time is my office. It’s the perfect time to text back friends and make some calls and see where my people are at and get myself back together to rage!
The porecelin god is not to be trifled with. Don’t visit to often, or that place will own you, you will become a slave to it. Make sure you don’t break the seal to quick. Especially if you are drinking massive quanities of beer during the day.
You have to admit, there is nothing better than the smell of a fresh clean porto potty in the morning, or when you find the row that has just been cleaned. I attribute it to finding the holy grail. Complete with toilet paper!
So the next time you see that big truck with the hoses full of shit piping through them, make sure you thank the man doing the dirty work! Enjoy the festival season.

:clap:

this reminds me of my porto potty at coventry. there was a big block of them that was in a big L shape. the one in the corner couldn’t be opened because of the one sitting next to it unless you pushed on the door real hard and squeezed through. that one was mine! when the others were over the top mine was nice and clean with paper. you know those irish springs commercials where the girl is cutting the soap bar with a knife, standing under a waterfall or something with flowers in her hair? that’s what this one was like!

There was a time at Bonnaroo in 2004… I don’t know the time. But it was really late at night, or early in the morning depending on your state of mind.

And, I saw the portopotty cleaners, with the gigantic hose and machine.

And with the sight of that thing, and the “street lamps” lighting it up just right… I was convinced it was a woolly mammoth.

Yep.

I may have ran, but I don’t remember.

Port o lets at Cypress had shit begging to get out of them… Literally, shit stood up, grabbed their friend and walked the fuck out of the port o lets in FLA during the NYE set…

I wonder if they ever found a home? :sick:

This was a nice thread to find. I had fun doing and writing that stuff! You guys are all the best!
