Hey, I made this offer in another thread, so I'll repost here. Like, bottom line is, I get it and I know some of the stuff I've written has been a little weak lately.

I know that a lot of the people criticizing my writing are likely also comedy writers themselves, or people who've always wanted to give writing for the front page a shot. So for next Monday's article, I'll publish the funniest originally written piece someone from this thread sends me. I'll obviously give you total credit and the fee.

My email address is asterios.kokkinos@gmail.com. Please include your SA forums username in the article.

Thanks!

I thought the McNuggetBurglar article was pretty funny. Same with the "Darkest Ghosts make me pee my pants" article.....which was only kind of racist.

Not suprisingly.....neither were repeat jpeg or low effort list "articles".

This and McNuggetBurglar both made me laugh, but if Baby himself is feeling doubtful, I guess I can see where others are coming from.

I'm interested and'll try to submit a piece. Maybe it's poo poo, maybe it's not (total) poo poo.

The recent one was very Onion-ish. Specifically, this one here where he takes the large swath of people speaking as one gimmick, then abandons it halfway through.

I interned for The Onion in 2003!

One time during a writers meeting a writer brought up how he used to write fake news articles for his college newspaper.

I told him, "Well now, in my college newspaper, we can't really do fake news articles because we just get accused of ripping off The Onion. The whole format of fake news articles is now just you guys by default."

He was genuinely shocked, and then got kinda sad.

13 years later, still totally true.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Yeah, didn't even fix the typos. Asterios, I'm not gonna pull a "Hurr durr, nothing you ever do is funny!" and good on you for that challenge, but it strikes me as you need a bit more editing and time. Like nearly all of your articles have a few good jokes, but there's also filler and utterly flat jokes in what's already short format.
