Let's be honest: kids aren't very funny. Not intentionally anyway. Sure they do funny things by accident, but they're not exactly known for their comedy-timing or their razor-sharp wit. Not unless that kid is Saffron Herndon anyway. Because although she's only 11 years old, Saffron is tearing up venues across America with her outrageously inappropriate yet undeniably hilarious comedy performances.
"I think I have always liked to surprise people and make them laugh," Saffron told Bored Panda. "My dad did stand up and would come home with stories about it and it sounded fun. I was like, "I want to make a crowd of drunk people laugh.""
Saffron writes all her own material and she's performed at many different festivals and shows including Gilda Radner's Laughfest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Dallas Comedy Festival, and Amsterdam Comedy Festival in Texas. "At first big shows were tough when the crowd didn't expect me. I realized I had to get my age out of the way early. My dad and I named the jokes I tell up front "Elephant" 'cause I felt like an elephant in the room. I come out and say, "I'm not what you were expecting am I?" They always laugh. Sometimes nervously."
When asked where she saw herself in ten years time, Saffron said "Ten years will almost double my life. Hmm. I still want to do stand up. I would like to be on my tenth season of SNL. Definitely want to star in my own series. And lots of pets."

Like a wig or something? Otherwise that'd be creepy...

I'm in no way a religious person, but I firmly believe that belittling people who choose to adhere to a religion simply for doing so does not make you look smart or "cool", just arrogant and narrow-minded. And no, I do not believe an 11 yo wrote this herself. I could be wrong, but then it'd be even more depressing if she had.

Bearing in mind that religious people belittle and insult the non-religious for refusing to subscribe to their ideology , or worse, threaten and attempt to scare them with warnings or what will happen if they don't, I find it perfectly fine for anyone to shine a light on the retardation that is organised religion and its followers.

Surprising how an 11 year old knows about Nirvana and The Foo Fighters, and how they relate

How the hell does a 11 year old know about foo fighters? Most TEENS and youth of today don't know them....or avril lavigne

Don't assume kids don't know music b4 their time. Growing up you listen to what your parents play. Sometimes they like it too.

Unlike one "joke" before (comparing fairytales from max. 2 centuries ago with religions that excist for thousands of years) I find this one hilarious. I like this joke. You can have fun about religions without offending people you know...

I watched the original Flintstones as a kid. Found it hilarious because the voice-over was in "Kebekwa" pronounciation (french canadian). It was so typically full of American gender stereotypes from the 1950s, + a few percs from the 60s (the green alien, the devil and angel) and was filled with delightful anachronisms.

It is just a random statement or short story that didn’t even make me crack a smile

What do you think ?

Hm...I do not think it is a good idea to transfer these on-stage quotes to still images. What I guess could be genuinely funny black humour on stage get's a brat-ish appeal when reading it for yourself. After all, stage comedy is much more than clever quotes.

On the other hand: I find the images with the jokes quite funny, whereas watching a video with her, it so obviously isn't really her humour. It seems too much like she just learned by heart some jokes that her parents wrote. It's a trick pony, at least it looks like that in video.
