I think "He with the fewest strokes is not declared the champion." was a better version. "Does not rank high with the playas," to me, sounds like you're trying to hard to be funny.

Remember Ace, these are all first draft jokes. They don't all make the cut, but you NEVER cut during the writing process... what if that joke wasn't great for my voice, but was better suited for another comic who was doing the ESPYS and needed some last minute Tiger jokes. I could sell it. So cutting that joke out of the writing process would've killed a potential revenue creator... and it cost me nothing to write it...RIGHT?

WTF Do you have Microsoft Word 1997 running on Windows 7???

[StandUpComedyClinic]

Odd, huh? Yeah Windows 7 Ultimate comes with a a program that runs Windows XP Mode. I've since upgraded and use the new Word, but still hate it. I'm actually using more Google Docs (Drive) to write now.

[laranjadigitalfilmes]

you fucking asshole! he´s doing the kindness to make this tutorial to help us. So... successful people can´t help others, is that your stupid point?? There´s no money at all in youtube tutorials, he´s doing it to help us beginning comedians. So... why don´t you just shut the fuck up?

[Andi Wagner]

Jerry, I respect you so much for sharing your "Listing" technique and approach to writing jokes. Thank you for taking the time to help out the comics who are just breaking out.

This tutorial is priceless.

This is my reference everytime writers block rears its ugly head...

[richig761]

The problem is that these jokes aren't funny. So... maybe that's why you're a no name putting together a con to make a quick buck. Look how worried you are about making it on "late night TV" and being liked by people. Yeah people... feel free to take advice from this guy, if you want to end up at best... a mediocre middle act comic. That never pushes any boundaries or does ANYTHING exciting. Yes, he has more experience than you, but he's making youtube tutorials for a reason. He NEVER MADE IT.
