      Does it have to be real to be funny?

          Well, that’s why we get shotty comics nowadays. Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Gummibears etc didn’t have to be believable to be enjoyed…

            There is a difference between a comic about talking ducks, and the post above.

            Believable means it needs to be believable in the world established / within the context.

            A porsche in the middle od a medieval / fantasy setting isn’t believable, while a wizard casting spells is.

            This post implies “this conversation happened in real life” which no, it didn’t.

            I literally made a comment under this one that explains this “gotcha”. Read the entire thread before commenting.

      Call me jaded, but whenever anyone shares some post/youtube/tiktok of someone telling some crazy story, I just never believe it unless they got the receipts. One video that lives rent-free in my head is called “Ghost in the Stalls”, it was shared by my friends in college and they all loved it and I’m over here just confused as to why they think it’s a real story. Even as a fake story it was not funny because it was full of not-so-clever punlines.

        I feel like a crazy story can happen. Usually, the more outlandish it was, the more likely it was to happen.

        When it takes a stoner 5 seconds to think that bud can be words for weed and friends. Then it’s probably fake.

      Did you not get text messages when your dealer would re-up? Seems more believable to me than switching phones atleast.

        My dealer advertised harder than coca cola back in the day. Every time he picked up it was and I quote “the best shit I have ever smelt”
