Good afternoon! Or whatever time of day you’re reading this. It is currently 4:30 ish and I am about to watch a excerpt called “Hawaii Stresses Me Out.” It’s a 5 minute clip from a stand-up show that Drew Lynch did. If you don’t know who Drew Lynch is, he’s a comedian (duh) that was on America’s Got Talent and came in third. He has a stutter and does different stand up shows and YouTube videos talking about it.
So now I guess I have to tell you what happened. Long story short, he told jokes about turtles. But I will go into detail here: He opened up talking about how as the plane he was on was touching down in Hawaii, the flight attendant said not to touch the turtles or he’d get fined. He talked about how rude it was to assume that he would touch turtles. “Like what part of a turtle looks fun to touch at all?” He laughs at his own jokes, which I think is hilarious because his laugh is a joke by itself. He elaborates on the experience by saying things like spanking the turtle and why is the fine so much and injecting small things that I wouldn’t have thought of. He also uses movements to emphasize something. He uses other things like hitting a construction worker to connect to the turtle thing. By doing that he also makes a joke about the town he’s currently in. He also uses face expression. HE MADE A REFERENCE TO SUPER MARIO BROS!!!!!!! He ends the excerpt by talking about how you were supposed to keep a 300 ft distance between you and the turtle and how he can’t see if it’s even a turtle from that far away.
I think I have quite a few friends that would find that funny. I also only have a few friends coincidentally. I think that people who are know what Super Mario Bros. is would definitely find this funny. My parents, however, would not find this funny. They’re kind of old school and only listen to comedy if it’s on Thou Shalt Laugh (a christian comedy DVD thing). I would recommend you check out Drew Lynch.
Tune in next time to read more about comedy.
