I was just wondering.... and hopefully I do not contradict myself here and make a total ass of myself. But what does it take to make a great thread besides good humor? FakeSteve, Hot_Bid, and a bunch of others (can't think right now.... give suggestions and I edit :D) make awesome, priceless threads. So aside from the time consuming threads (the one with the pics of progamers made into rappers [another classic]) what does it take to make a simple hilarious thread (like the one with the poll of "who pees in the shower"?

HOT-BID AND THE MASTERS OF THE FORUM

HOT-BID!
And the Masters of the Forum.

I am Manifesto7, Prince of Sandlot, defender of the secrets of TeamLiquid.
This is FakeSteve, my fearless friend (who I raped in a showmatch lololol).

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic
banhammer and said:
"By the power of Teamliquid"

Hot_Bid!

"I have the power!"

FakeSteve became the mighty Rekrul.
And I became Hot_Bid, the most powerful moderator in the forum.

Only three others share this secret.
Our friends the FrozenArbiter, IntoTheWow, and Nazgul.

Together we defend Teamliquid from the evil forces of BGH and FA$TE$T.

HOT_BID!
What fun is it being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?

Any topic where incontrol makes an offtopic post and the thread derails from there usually turns into something good.

This reminds me of a stoned korean on bnet, semi-famous player, going into a channel me and midian were in, striking up conversation with these fighting words:
"HEY
REP BATTLE
REP BATTLE HAJA!

HANA DUL SET

*insert korean rap*+ YOYO"

Continue for 10 minutes.

Or none at the above. Absolute failure at all of them will provoke witty informative mockery of you. So you have nothing to lose.

What you need to do, is make a lot of research. It's the american way. If you're not sure if your movie is going to be a hit or not, get focus groups. It's perfect, nothing could be better and focus groups always know right.

You fucking americans.
