Hit some folks at the job with this line when they were talking about a co-worker being disrespectful all the time. One guy got it and busted out laughing, lol. Every body else did that awkward laugh where they really don't know why it's funny but wants to seem like they in the know. Lol!

His stand up was trash!!!

Rip

It was. I try to tell people all the time that just because you're funny doesn't mean you can do stand up. Cats used to try to get me to do stand up. I was like 'Naw. Some people are 'telling jokes on stage' funny and some people are just funny because they are just naturally kind of off and say and do shit in funny ways and are witty.'.

Charlie Murphy was the latter. That's what made him so ill on Chappelle show and random shit like the 'That's my brother' story, but not that good at standup.
 
RIP to an old-school Hip Hop vet.



Charlie was a producer and co-writer for K9 Posse and executive producer for their self titled debut album.

I'm the same way. I can tell a funny ass story in the moment, but when I try to put it as if I was doing stand up, I fuck that shit all up.

I tell everybody I'm situationally funny, not stand up funny. I'm funny because of my quick wit.

Writing is a big part of it. You have to be a good writer, which means you also have to be a good thinker as well. And it takes a lot of time and effort. You can't bs/freestyle your way through unless you want to eat shit in front of a crowd.

Remember that Fresh Prince episode with DL Hughley? Will Smith = situationally funny. DL Hughley = stand up funny.
