PP is usually atleast OK, and sometimes pretty funny.

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.

i didn't find the pp standup bit funny either. i feel like the show has really lost its way (understandably) since that guy died. but i'll always remember fps doug running faster with the knife. that whole episode was hilarious.

and good luck with your routine. extra good luck if you're performing in front of a non-starcraft audience.
How's the weather down there?

A better idea: perform at the Blizzcon meetup to an audience that might actually laugh!

First off I love how you're going to do a whole set on starcraft material... But I think you're going about it wrong.

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.

I actually don't like pure pwnage at all , I find most of it to be like the standup comedy thing ...and it's not fun . I'm sorry all the people out the who likes it but I have only watched like 2 episodes from some of the late shows...so don't flame
BW for life !

Dude, the video was funny because it's all made-up and just because it wasn't funny!
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

Good luck mOnion, finding another person to go over material with about starcraft would be kind of hard. HOWEVER! Some of the best jokes come from improv 'cause they have funny in their bones!

Please record it though, because if you do bomb it will be equally hilarious as the PurePwnage joke about Jeremy.
I enjoy watching more than playing.

yeah but that one was actually funny in its badness. you can't just be bad on purpose and expect it automatically to be funny, it takes skill to be bad. jeremy completely failed at being bad in an funny way =|

edit: good luck mOnion, looking forward to seeing it

i dont watch pure pwnage

i know you can bomb on purpose, but i really think you guys are giving him wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much credit.

it like, wasn't even a good bomb. you can bomb on purpose, I've done that skit tons of times, but he didn't even do it well

its just really strange for me, I dont know how to explain it

...i read it? i'm not getting some big ephiphany.

all you're saying is that I should think it's funny because its pure pwnage. like by definition its funny just because its them.

it would be pretty hard for any of us fans to explain it to you man. 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.

it's not so much that he bombs, rather the certainty and self-confidence the character Jeremy has in his actions. 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.

i still think it should be funny even if i dont know who it is

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.

but it's not about the jokes, or the stand up comedy...you're focusing on it because you're a standup comic and because you don't know the show. It's about Jeremy doing shit and having a really unusual mentality about how much he owns . Regardless, full respect to you for actually going and trying to do this properly.
