Hating on improv is the worst kind of punching down. Like yeah most of it is lame as gently caress, but it's so hard and requires such a huge commitment like, who the gently caress are you to give them poo poo?

mind the walrus posted:Hating on improv is the worst kind of punching down It very much is not. It's a loving hobby unless you're one of the very, very few people good enough or lucky enough to get a job in television or movies. It's like making fun of amateur photographers for being pervs. Ansel Adams wasn't a perv, but there's a lot of people wanting to take pictures of 19 year olds in underwear "for their portfolio."

There's a million reasons to be a dick about how improv comedy sucks, but it's like kicking a homeless person-- did that really make you feel big? Did you just say insulting improv performers is the same as kicking the homeless? And you lecture other people about punching down?

This is a strange thread but it has nothing to do with Tomcat: a company that makes mousetraps. They promoted this tweet for some reason. Interesting Twitter kinda-horror. https://twitter.com/grady_hendrix/status/1187889147979223040?s=09

First they came for the improv 'artists', and I did not speak out - because I am not an egomaniac Then the came for the jugglers, and I did not speak out -because I am not an attention-whore. Then the came for the unicyclists, and I did not speak out -because I don't own a kilt. Then they didn't come for me at my one-man show at the theatre above the bowling alley, tickets are free, come on guys, if you were my real friends you'd support me in my dreams.

I actually don’t hate improv, and the reason I could make fun of it from experience is that I’ve been to many improv shows. When it’s good, it’s absolutely stunning. I’ve seen multiple shows that were hilarious, original, and even emotionally moving, all at the same time. It’s just that it’s a rare hobby where the only real way to practice it is in front of other people. An aspiring novelist can crumple up their lousy efforts and throw them in the trash. People with less than a thousand hours of improv experience must show their shortcomings to a live audience. It takes bravery! IMO, it is also OK to acknowledge that if the show features inexperienced performers, it is very unlikely to be funny. The ones who will get good probably understand this.

All the improv people I know are fun and I enjoyed the last improv show I went to. Seems like a weird hobby horse to hate on it.  https://twitter.com/ShouldBeInBed/status/1188463367519920133

Like Jews, another oppressed minority (to a lesser extent), improv comedians use self-deprecating humor to help cope with the oppression they must grapple with on a daily basis.

Improv sucks because most of the humor comes from the preformers loving up or just doing something random. It's monkey-cheese humor people can get a certificate for if they spend a couple hundred dollars

Wasting your parents money on an improv class is a choice, being homeless is not. Piss off.
