i actually agree with with last bit about abortion it should be women that make those decisions or talk about it
To learn more about witty comments and how to improve our comedy skills, we spoke to Abigail Paul, a standup comedian, improviser, and actress with an irreverent and original comedy brain. Having performed improvisation, standup comedy, and theatre in venues all over Germany, the US, and the EU, she was kind enough to share her thoughts on why people leave comments in the first place.
“Today’s reader has the advantage over their predecessor that they feel part of the action,” she said. “In comedy, we are always looking to create content that an audience member will relate to, so when someone leaves a fantastic comment on an article or picture, it helps us feel connected, a little less alone.”
“It shows us that someone else, maybe many people, think the same way we do,” Abigail mentioned. “We take great comfort in not being alone on our ideas.”
The standup comedian revealed that the secret to a successful comment is probably equal parts true and surprising. An unexpected remark “that just has shock value isn’t as highly regarded as one that is embedded in truth.”
“In comedy terms, your picture or article you are commenting on is your setup. Your witty comment is the punchline,” she explained. “There are lots of ways to be funny, but a great punchline will usually have excellent use of wordplay, exaggeration, or make an analogy to something else so the reader can maybe see the topic in a new light.”
Well, the natives here in the US were more curious than frightened, and look where that got us. It definitely was the right reaction.
“The most important thing is usually an element of surprise. Good comedy writers use misdirect as well as a magician does. We think we see you going to one place and you go somewhere unexpected. Audiences love a twist,” Abigail said, providing true crime podcasts as an example.
According to her, leaving a comment and letting out a few chuckles helps us bond with others. “Comedy is the most fun thing humans can share (besides pizza),” she said. “The pandemic has forced a lot of comedy experiences online. It hurt live comedy a lot, but new spaces have thrived online because people need to connect and laugh. The upside is you can find ways to be funny at home in your PJs.”
come people wake up she survived all 3 ships sinking am i the only one thinking maybe she sank them all
If you want to improve at writing clever comments online, you need to practice. “Comedy is a skill,” Abigail told us. “The more you write, the better you usually get.” But it’s important “not to get too precious about your work. Notice which clever comments you are writing get lots of likes or replies, and see if you can dissect why that comment is working.”
“If something isn’t working, don’t worry too much about why. A lot of good writing is throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.” She advised you to focus on what works and try to replicate your own formula. “Also - edit. Are there any words you can take out, but the comment is still really funny? Then do. The more concise you are, the better it is for your reader.”
Don't they have cliff sensors? Mine does. Won't even come within 30cm of a step 1cm high.
Abigail is now busy with her new organization in Frankfurt called English Comedy Frankfurt, aiming to bring fun shows with diverse audiences and comedians. So if you want some tips on writing for standup, be sure to check out her website and follow her work on Twitter.
And some of the assholes who screamed abuse at a little girl are still alive, too.
This is the little girl that racist Republicans don't want their grandkids to know that they tried to stop from going to school back in the day. Nasty, hateful racists. And now they are erasing it all.
Yolo Swaggins is a pretty big loser. Don't feed the troll guys, it only fuels them
Load More Replies...The pushback against CRT is from people who yelled racist things 60 years ago during integration and are angry that now their children and grandchildren will learn that they yelled.
That and they don't want racism to go away. How anyone thinks treating anyone like this is ok, is beyond me. Hollering it's not my fault my ancestors did to other people. Then actively saying you don't want history taught is insane. Why don't you want people to know what happened? That's the question people need to start asking these folks that are against CRT. Just like what happened with Indians. People lying and denying what really happened. A big eff you to those people. You can be in denial and delusional about the truth but don't stop other people from trying to speak up about what really happened.
Load More Replies...How frightened that little girl must have been. Shame on the people who scared her.
All I see is a beautiful little girl caught up in a stupid white man's world
The north wasn't innocent either. School segregation was law in the south but a de facto segregated system also emerged in the north due to housing and employment discrimination. The truth is, nation-wide, nearly all Black kids went to all Black schools, and nearly all white kids went to all white schools.
Load More Replies...U.S. Marshalls are Christian bigots? Wow. You can just tell that?
Load More Replies...Looked at Ruby's story last month with a class of 11 / 12 year olds. They could not understand how it had ever happened. They also did not get Rosa parks. To be honest, I love that they don't get it - to me the lack of understanding shows that they are good humans who can't understand racism. However I start to question how I teach racism, I have found kids are not naturally racist so I never pushed it much. But I still see kids of different colours experiencing life differently. You know that phrase ' I'm not a racist but... ’ always starts a racist comment, but I'm starting to feel ' I'm not a racist but I'm not part of the solution either' is something I should consider
I'd like to share an event. I was working in school in the UK with a well off catchment area. I regularly took the same bus home as the kids. One afternoon I was waiting for a bus, reading a book, when a few men (not sure if 2 to 4) took objection to me. Their hatred towards me was obvious and I was scared. I do not wish to fule prejudice by stating their nationality - but one which dislikes women. They made it very clear they intended me harm . I closed my eyes and thought, I could run away and get help but I knew the next bus stop would have young girls getting on. I totally believed the men intended harm to me. Then a bunch of black boys surrounded me in an entirely protective manner. I feel sick to my core those boys understood racial threat in a way that none of the white boys did. They should not have been able to perceive the threat. Something is very very wrong
Load More Replies...I always wonder what was going on in the heads of those U.S. Marshalls. At some point that got into the office after hunting fugitives or protecting witnesses in some federal case and were given their next job: protect a little girl and her bookbag against hate. You wonder what kind of introspection they went through, or if they went through any at all.
Sadly, many places in the US STILL need security to protect students
She is so cute. Just wanted to get to school. Those assholes who screamed abuse at her never were alive. It is where the walking dead came from.
Times having changed we currently have idiot anti vaxxers screaming at kids outside schools.
I hope for god sake that those guys were her bodyguards and I hope they protected her inside the school as well
My god, miss Ruby and her family had to have nerves of steel! I can't imagine letting my baby go to a school where they'd have to be escorted for their own safety!
America and other countries must live and let live because the prejudice is now world-wide !
She shared a picture meme about her first day at the all white school in 1960 recently as well. It was kind of a sweet little f u to racists everywhere
Puts things in perspective, doesn't it? If racists are still alive, so is racism.
Could you edit if that's ok, sorry to ask it's just it puts the slur back out there? I get it, dudes a troll racist loser, but I had not looked at his comment but I saw yours. Sorry, I feel like a d**k asking you to I know I'm out of line here, I'm sorry. Feel free to tell me to get bent lol

Was also a member of the Blues Brothers by the look of this picture
The stress that poor child must’ve been put under is ungodly, No wonder the world’s gone to hell in a handbag.
Look at the Badges. USMS badges have always been a star. That's Border Patrol. USBP deputized as USMS. Happens more than you think.
That's truly beyond hilarious! Listen trashy Trump Supporter, the right, AND ONLY THE RIGHT, are very vocal about they're loathing of African Americans. Trump reignited hardcore racism. You don't see Liberals and / or Democrats in the f*****g KKK, you dumb f*****g twat.

Judging by the cobwebs on the books; perhaps everyone there is stupid.
I think this is the 4th or 5th time I have seen this pic on BP so far lol
Oh god this is terrifyingly funny I can't stop my laughter HUUULP
It's not an inventor of that... thing, it's Sam Chui, aviation journalist, yet someone wishes him everything the worst. That's... not nice.
I rememebr already laughing at this at the original post and now for the second round: bwahahaha
Without being sarcastic, I'd like to say that I'm surprised... and a little proud to be featured in this post.
I like puns that are terrible. People that turn their nose up at these need to Czech their privilege.
As someone who grew up in Western Australia, this image terrifies me

This was great, and why I love BP. The people here post the most funny things and there's always someone here that makes me laugh !
We need more lists like this! A ton of people on BP are hilarious!
Your comments have made me laugh so hard, you should've been on here Jo Choto!
Load More Replies...I was kind of hoping to see some of the ogs here (like Foxxy the original!) but at least there are some lesser known pandas on here! good job :D
Exactly! Vicky Z, Caro Caro, Bacony Cakes, Leo Domitrix... they should've been there!! 🥺
Load More Replies...i feel personally attacked hu this comments
Load More Replies...Great list, just a bit cringe for me that all the replies are trying too hard to out-do the ones that made the list.
Is Foxxy or Foxy THE ORIGINAL kicked of this site? She was once commenting on nearly every article getting loads of upvotes (didn't matter what she wrote). She is not on this list and I havent seen her in a while.
And that’s why I read Bored Panda daily. A lot of people here are smart and have a brilliant sense of humor.
Someone should post the most stupid comments, sometimes the comments are as funny as the stupid statement above
Special shout out to anyone who comments "boop" on a picture showing a dog's nose. I don't know why, but I love that so much. It's not original like the ones on this list, but it's tradition, and the cuteness of imagining booping the snoot gives me an endorphin rush every time, so thank you.
Very clever, Pandas. Party! I looked through my notifications from the last month, and by comparison, my top comment had a paltry 29 upvotes. You're internet superstars!
Sum Guy's comment on the picture of the two people has only 60 votes, when all the others have at least 200. Methinks there's a bit of bias going on here.
You should have been there too, Aroace tiger! I love your comments!!
Load More Replies...That was a walk down memory lane! Meta articles like this one should happen more often.
Just no, there is NOTHING more irritating than people commenting on posts like they think they're funny.
Loved this list. I saw comments on one yesterday that had me laughing for an hour. My husband kept asking if I was ok... and what was I on because I was giggling to myself so long.
How ever read each and ever comment to make this post deserves a medal and ice cream
The article is represented by the spelling of disapprove in a example that actually doesn’t make the list. Great work BP.
It does make the list and it is WITHOUT the typo. That error was down to some BP staff member retyping it wrongly.
Load More Replies...But… what if this is it? There will never be new content. Will you ever be content?
Load More Replies...Yeah it's unethical that BP doesn't pay commission to its members every time they post a comment, which is how it's done on most other websites, for example:
