Hello, and welcome to Kinda Whatevs. A blog, whose name is both ironic and literal at the same time. My name is Brian, and my compatriot Eshi and I will be posting from time to time on whatever we feel like talking about. I wanted to start us off on a light note, with a couple things that we like to do for fun when we are bored.
1: adding the phrase "saved my marriage" to nouns or subject for amusing results.
We tend to use an "old man" voice, and in the stereotypical kind of old-man-from-any-comedy-dispensing-generalized-advice-to-a-younger-person way exclaim that X saved my marriage.
Here are some amusing examples:
Wu Tang Clan... saved my marriage.
Crystal Meth... saved my marriage.
Stuff like that. Its a fun way of wasting some time with a friend, or by yourself when you get bored.
2: I like to do this when I read articles: add the phrase "There were no survivors" to the end of puff pieces, or similar types of articles, in which the phrase would not normally go.
Its kind of dark, but slightly amusing when you read an article on a news website:
"36 hours in Jamaica" - there were no survivors
.
"College Classes Use Arts to Brace for Climate Change"- there were no survivors.
Both fine articles, but made a little more amusing with some dark humor.
3: "Bro-ing" adding Bro in the place of certain rhyming syllables in words during a conversation to try to be obnoxious.
Using people and or professions seems to work best.
Brosef Stalin
Bromigo
Brosephus, Brostorian of the Broman empire.
To be honest, I tried to think of something funny for this, but out of context they all seemed odd, so here is comedian Baron Vaughn showing us all how its done:
Bro
By the way, I suggest listening to more of his stuff, its great.
All of these so far have been in jokes to my group of friends, and taking them out of that context seems to make them unfunny. As I wrote this I realized quickly that these are funny to us, not necessarily because they are comedic gold, but because it is something that you and friends share together and laugh at. I don't want to say that you should do these things with your friends because every group of friends has these types of inside jokes, and they are mostly unique to them. Outsiders may find them funny, but more often then not they lack the contextual emotional connection that is in the minds of the people who are part of that group. I just wanted to point out that you should appreciate them for what they are, a construct of your friendship that represents that connection. Something that, while may not be completely unique to your group, is something that is special. Also, if you try any of of these, and it makes you laugh, then my job is done.
