I do agree with the sentiment in general though, that niche humour(eg nerd, ethnic, drug etc) tends to have low standards. People just laugh out of recognizing a term or something >.> Looking forward to your stuff. | ||

You shouldn't be doing it because someone else did it "badly" (notice I put badly in quotes). You should do it because you want to. Now why did I put badly in quotes? Well, if you take the time to look at what Pure Pwnage is, then you'll actually feel pretty silly thinking this was real stand-up. If you realize in the first 15 seconds of the video they even show you that he is from a TV show, which is a spin-off of the internet show which has gotten thousands upon thousands of fans from all over the world. These guys, Jarrett Cale (Jeremy, teh_pwnerer) and Geoff Lapaire (Kyle), Travel all around the world when a new episode of their internet show is released. Jarrett is even an avid starcraft fan. He has said himself that he is playing in the sc2 beta, and has been playing sc bw for years. Even in the Television show you can see he is playing BW aaalll the time. New to Pure Pwnage? Watch this video. They are still even in character in this, look up pure pwnage on youtube and you'll find interviews with the real cast members as themselves, not as their character counterparts that everyone knows them by. http://purepwnage.com/original_series/video/new-pure-pwnage So bottom line, make starcraft comedy because you want to... not because these people made bad comedy ON PURPOSE. | ||

Please record it though, because if you do bomb it will be equally hilarious as the PurePwnage joke about Jeremy. | ||

The general joke is that Jeremy is basically a complete god with loads of balls but at the same time a complete fail who just sucks hardcore.

He IS teh pwnerer. He practises hotkeys on bank ATMs and phone booths. Hard to explain, but I think they managed to hit exactly what they wanted to with that segment. The perpetual simultaneous dichotomy of win and fail that is Jeremy. | ||

once it gets to the "its just funny because its him" point, you know you've really lost touch with what you're doing. the fact is that its NOT funny, even though its him. maybe fact is the wrong word. still. | ||
