Some people are funnier than others. This is a fact. We all could name our funniest friend in an instant. That's because it's easy to tell who has the quickest wit or who can come up with the best jokes. Jokes are out loud, you hear them. The point of this little anecdote is I recently (right this moment) discovered that some people can be the funniest out of their friends but not be all that funny.
I'm talking about my roommate's new girlfriend. She's always laughing. She's a happy girl! But when she watches movies with us she does more than laugh- she talks.
And it's not really something to listen to. She'll repeat jokes or accents moments after they appear on screen because she thinks they're funny. She ALSO adds her own commentary.
Now I know people who are GOOD at adding their own commentary. The things they say about what's going on on screen are well thought out and hilarious. Plus, the comments are usually well timed and make sense in the context.
Oh but this girl, this happy girl! has not been blessed with comedic timing or wit. The jokes she makes are... weird. They really aren't good. But she makes lots and lots of them like she has some practice.
Which got me to thinking; has she had lots and lots of practice? And if she has, how has no one told her to shut the fuck up?
BECAUSE (Get ready, as the following reasons are correct and insightful.)
- She's hot. The girl has big brown eyes, dark hair, and she's thin. She's just about perfect which in my current relationship-less state is HORRIBLE.
- She's probably the funniest of HER friends.
She's not THAT bad, honestly. There are MANY funnier people in the world but there are also many less funny (Heba). It makes sense that her attractive friends wouldn't recognize that she's a second rate jokester.
But when you are probably the funniest person in the room (seriously, you can think “conceited” but I'm in two comedy groups. CLEARLY I'm funny.) and you aren't making your own stupid quips to “Pulp Fiction” but someone else, less funny than you, IS, it's... grating.
And this isn't because she's perfect. This is because I haven't seen this movie in a long time and would LOVE to view it without having to listen to some happy, beautiful girl blab her way through it with remarks that EVERYONE, no matter how funny, should NOT SAY OUT LOUD.
