1. [b][color=blue]We're guaranteed to make your day
better , like a human version of pizza[/color][/b]. Had a crappy day at work? Get in a fight with your best
friend? You know that if you call us up to hang out,
we'll get you laughing.
2.[b][color=blue]Funny guys are like garlic: bland stuff
suddenly gets way better[/color][/b]. We'll make even boring stuff awesome. Do you have to go help your
brother move out of his dorm? Bring us
along. Awkward family wedding? Check and see if
you get a plus-one.
3. [b][color=blue] We hate being called "funny guys[/color][/b]." On a personal note, I hate writing this and even self-
identifying as being funny. If people introduce us as
funny or ask us to tell a joke on the spot, we'll
retreat into our (probably) metaphorical shells.
4.[b][color=blue] Yes, we will make jokes during serious
talks[/color][/b]. Bear with us and don't get mad. Sometimes we can't resist making a so-bad-it's-really-bad-and-
almost-good pun or throwing out an actually good
one-liner. These moments might come during a
serious talk about where our relationship is
headed. Brace yourself.
5.[b][color=blue] But that doesn't mean we can't be serious[/color][/b]. Half the time we're making jokes, we're still taking
things seriously. But we're not about to start
screaming, "HEY, GANG! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH
DEATH, HUH? WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WE DIE?
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?" at your great father`s
funeral like some terrible stand-up. We are not insane. We still understand societal norms.
6.[b][color=blue] Just because we can crack some
jokes doesn't mean we secretly want to
break into comedy[/color][/b] . Most of us are content with just making people laugh. Don't keep pushing us to
take an improv class unless we bring it up. And if
we do, get ready for long, weird hours and lots of
questions about whether or not a particular joke is
funny as we quadruple-guess ourselves.
7.[b][color=blue] Get ready for us to be really elitist about
some of your favorite TV shows[/color][/b]. Fuck The Big Bang Theory. Let's move on.
8.[b][color=blue] THERE'S PAIN BEHIND THESE EYES[/color][/b] . All right, let's dial it down a bit, but just because we're
making jokes doesn't mean we're constantly
happy-go-lucky. If anything, it's a defense
mechanism. Even if we're laughing, just check in
with us sometimes.
9.[b][color=blue] We can't always be "on" with you[/color][/b]. While our friends typically get our whole funny shtick 24/7,
you're not always going to get that with us.
Sometimes we need to be boring and unfunny.
10.[b][color=blue] We are your secret weapon at office
dinner parties[/color][/b]. We'll charm the hell out of anyone you need us to. Your boss? You coworkers? That
weird guy you can't quite figure out? We're all best
friends now. We are like locksmiths but with
people.
