Wit

The Chuckle Hut. Content Warning.
Once upon a time, in the quirky little town of Wackyville, there lived a man named Harold McLaughlin. Harold was an ordinary guy with an extraordinary sense of humor. He had a knack for turning every situation into a comedy act, and his friends loved him for it. However, there was one thing Harold hadn't quite mastered yet: expressing his love for a woman.

Vocal Memes for Established Creators (Part V). Top Story - June 2023.
How on earth are we up to Part V already? Time flies when you're making memes, I guess. It's been over two years since the first Vocal Memes for Established Creators article was published, and to-date it's still my most read Vocal story of all time, although I'm determined to beat that record this year with something new.

The Jokester and the Jerk. Top Story - April 2023.
While the origins of April Fool's Day are disputed, ranging from Geoffrey Chauncer and The Canterbury Tales, to folk tradition, to now-lost Pagan festivities, by now it's a fairly common tradition.

Punch Your Face
A long time ago, a friend of mine, who grew up in a small rural town in my native country, visited my place for the first time. He didn't utter a word in English.

Lemony Snicket: How to Craft Dry Humor
Although I love all forms of comedy, there is something about dry humor I find absolutely delicious. From the deadpan delivery of Ron Swanson to the played-straight craziness of any Wes Anderson movie, nothing makes me laugh more than a crispy, crackly, dehydrated joke. Though I love a good stand-up comedy sketch as much as the next pun-o-phile, it's always the dry stuff that catches me completely off guard and thoroughly subverts my expectations.

Flight of the Conchords: My Top Five Picks
I am very excited that Vocal has done a great job of making sure there is a community specific for Humor. Along with writing, music and films, humour in various forms is in my lifeblood. I like to think that I am funny, but my wife would probably disagree with that, depending on what day of the week it is.

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before
Introduction This is another difficult one. I am not a funny person but people do laugh at me. This introductory piece is a few friends of mine who are experts at being funny and I think that is a good place to start this story.

How (Not) To Kill A Roommate. Top Story - July 2022.
Hello and hello… I wrote this some time ago when I was still living with roommates. I have seen them come and go; I have seen a lot of different types of behaviour and observed that certain things do not change. Instead, they repeat themselves, like comedy or tragedy on the world stage.

Meme-ing for Laughs
I published comedy on Vocal long before they opened a Humor Community. This Meme-ing Madness originally appeared in the Journal community, until I migrated it just now to Humor, where it more properly belongs.
