Does anybody have a sense of humour anymore?

[Guest]

The anonymous responses on my Humour & Satire story make me wonder.

How has everyone else felt their stories have gone down in this category?

I'm beginning to wish I'd submitted it under my Shock Chick ID now, as it is so far removed from my normal writing. Perhaps it's a crap story, full stop, and not even funny, but a few people have said it is. Oh well, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

For what it's worth, Lou, I laughed my ass off reading your story.

And, yes, I think some people take themselves way, way too seriously.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Serious people suck.

 

[doormouse]

Serious people suck.

Uh huh!!

I just had a poem listed. It was done as a joke.

I haven't had the comments yet, but the score's bombed lol

They obviously need to get laid more ;-)

I read it and I liked it, so fuck the rest of them. They suck.

Thanks gals.

The thing is, I do take my writing very seriously, even when I'm "trying" to be funny.

That story was supposed to be cliche ridden and a parody of that particular kind of story.

Ok, now I'm whinging. It ain't gonna change the way these anonymous folks see that story. It's been an eye opener, that's for sure!

I'll stick to seriously hardcore stuff from now on, I think!

Lou i havent read yours yet but its bookmarked. i love the humor.. please dont stop. even if you need to submit it under your shock chick id..

my humor story is lingering.. just under the 4.4 mark.. bummah.. but it was struggling for a long time too.. so maybe itll just be a matter of time before yours comes up in ratings too.

Don't let a few idiots ruin it for the rest of us, we enjoy your sense of humor and it should be shared with others.

Fuck em.....I'm on a roll with that one.

Go over to the cafe' and read the topic of the day, love to have your input.

Nil desperandum, Lou. I just acquired a PC on my 'French Kissing for Girls' story, from Anonymous (of course)

It sucks you sick fagget

Stops me getting big-headed!

Commenting on the 'ANOMYMOUSES' that bomb just boosts their warped ego. Banning anonymous comments would piss 'em right off.

 

[CharleyH]

As you know, I have absolutely no sense of humour whatsoever

 

[Guest]

Charley, you always make me grin (for varying reasons. ).

Alex, I like your take on it.

Bah! Fuck 'em. You're right, Abs.

Who'd be a writer, eh?

Lou, just RVC'd.
if you stop writing humor.. youll be forcing me to turn domme.. i dont know if the world is ready for that!
awesome job, doll. i want more

[sack]

Don't be discouraged, Lou!

I thought both your stories were superb and left a PC on one of them, can't remember which. Odd, My story "Sis Doesn't Know He's Watching" has the same rating as your new one. The anonymous feedback I'm getting imply people don't see the humor in this story either, or understand the dream within a dream concept.
By the way, anyone interested in reading a story that is unforgettable should try out Wynona in the Non-Erotic category. I don't particularly like the very end (The story would have been perfect if it had ended where Literotica split pages 4 and 5.), but this is powerful stuff, without anything more than a kiss. It can be done, and with a rating of 4.65 for non-erotic, you know this has to be good!

How has everyone else felt their stories have gone down in this category?

Mine was posted just two days ago so I guess early days yet. It was doing okay with the first 15 votes (4.67) and then I come online this morning to 17 votes and a 4.47. Trolled while I was sleeping. Now its 20/4.55 which I guess is pretty repectable. Still makes me sad.

The feedback's really low compared to my other stories.

Going off to read Lou.

 

[Guest]

Toilet humour at its best!

 

[oggbashan]

When I first joined Literotica - that seems a lifetime ago - I noticed that Humor and Satire didn't work because readers didn't understand that the writers were trying to be funny.

That is why I put the disclaimer on The Worst Chain Story Chapter 01. Even then some people did not understand that it was satire.

Check out my sigline first Tatelou.

I have to say, in my feedback over time, some people take anything written here as the truth. I get beat up for my characters all the time. Things like...

"I'd dump the cheating slut." or "You are a wimpy assed dickwad if you take her back." and even..."You have a sick sick mind. Incest is just wrong."

Give me a break people...I'm a writer. I am writing stories. HELLOOOOOO. STORIES...of a fiction type. Not documentaries or biographies. Sheesh.


Yeah...I know...some people have no sense of humor at all.

 

[Guest]

Thanks, everyone, for all of your input in this thread. It's really helped me put some perspective on this. I was fine earlier, but made the mistake of not deleting them straight away. They stayed and it was like bees to honey. Anyway, they've gone now. If they can't give me their names, they ain't worth my time.

That and the latest public comment on the story, which REALLY made me smile. My hero.

As someone once said...

"If you haven't offended someone, you need to get better jokes."

I have LMAO at many of the stories in the humor category. Some people just can't or won't get satire.
What really bugs me is when somebody says, "That's a funny story. If you took the sex out, you could sell it."
"The sex" is the beginning, middle and end of everything I write here. It's not a funny story with sex, it's a funny sex story.
At least I hope it is...

Thanks for a very giggle-enducing read.

(sorry for flooding your thread Lou, but this is just TFF not to share!!)

Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many

Sydney folks DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney. The DJs
play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called
"Mate Match". The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or
seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers "yes", he or
she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions. The person is
also asked to divulge the name of their partner (with phone number) for
verification. If their partner answers those same three questions
correctly, they both win the prize. One particular game, however, several
months ago made the City of Big Shoulders drop to its knees with laughter
and is possibly the funniest thing I've heard yet.

Anyway, here's how it all went down: DJ: "Hey! This is Ed on FOX-FM. Have
you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?"

Contestant: (laughing) "Yes, I have."

DJ: "Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if
you win. What is your name? First only please."

Contestant: "Brian."

DJ: "Brian, are you married or what?"

Brian: "Yes."

DJ: "Yes? Does that mean you're married or you're what?"

Brian: (laughing nervously) "Yes, I am married"

DJ: "Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please."

Brian: "Sara."

DJ: "Is Sara at work, Brian?"

Brian: "She is gonna kill me."

DJ: "Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?"

Brian: (laughing) "Yes, she's at work."

DJ: "Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?"

Brian: "She is gonna kill me."

DJ: "Brian! Stay with me here!"

Brian: "About 8 o'clock this morning."

DJ: "Atta boy, Brian."

Brian: (laughing sheepishly) "Well..."

DJ: "Question #2 - How long did it last?"

Brian: "About 10 minutes."

DJ: "Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that
if a trip wasn't at stake."

Brian: "Yeah, that trip sure would be nice."

DJ: "Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this
morning?"

Brian: (laughing hard) "I, ummm, I, well..."

DJ: "This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?"

Brian: "Not that it was all that great, but her mom is staying with Us for
couple of weeks..."

DJ: "Uh huh..."

Brian: "...and the Mother-In-Law was in the shower at the time."

DJ: "Atta boy, Brian."

Brian: "On the kitchen table."

DJ: "Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred
times I've done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get this wife's
work number and call her up. You listen to this."

3 minutes of commercials follow.

DJ: "Okay audience, let's call Sarah, shall we?" (touch
tones.....ringing....)

Clerk: "Kinkos."

DJ: "Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?"

Clerk: "This is she."

DJ: "Sarah, this is Ed with FOX-FM. We are live on the air right now and
I've been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now."

Sarah: (laughing) "A couple of hours?"

DJ: "Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give
any answers away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you know the rules of'
Mate Match'?"

Sarah: "No."

DJ: "Good!"

Brian: (laughing)

Sarah: (laughing) "Brian, what the hell are you up to?"

Brian (laughing) "Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely
honest."

DJ: "Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your
answers match Brian's answers, then the both of you will be off to the
Gold Coast for 5 days on us.

Sarah: (laughing) "Yes."

DJ: "Alright. When did you last have sex, Sarah?"

Sarah: "Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning before Brian went to work."

DJ: "What time?"

Sarah: "Around 8 this morning."

DJ: "Very good. Next question. How long did it last?"

Sarah: "12, 15 minutes maybe."

DJ: "Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect his
manhood. We've got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away
from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?"

Sarah: (laughing) "Yes."

DJ: "Where did you have it?"

Sarah: "OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell them that, did you?"

Brian: "Just tell him, honey."

DJ: "What is bothering you so much, Sarah?"

Sarah: "Well..."

DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have it?

Sarah: "Up the arse....."

After a long pause, the DJ said, "Folks, we need to take a station break"

I got a kick out of your story, Lou. And while I haven't posted anything in that catagory, I have posted a couple things, here in AH, that were meat to be humorous, but were taken WAY to seriously. Some people just enjoy analyzing the humor right out of everything. Well, what the fuck kinda fun is that?

Up the arse?
I don't get it.
Is that like...
innuendo?
