Episode # 26 - Is the internet stupid, or is it just words?

What if the internet's transformation into a breeding ground for wannabe comedians is more tragic than comedic?

This episode of the Scotty Don't X Show boldly tackles the chaotic blend of humor and absurdity pervading the digital landscape. We challenge these aspiring comics to elevate their craft beyond random quips and offensive gags, encouraging them to embrace creativity and seek genuine laughs rather than resorting to online trolling or offensive commentary.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
I am so sorry if the algorithm pushed you over to
here the Scotty Don't X Show.
It may feel like stumbling upona forgotten VHS tape from the
90s, but if you have any ofthose I hear eBay can fetch some
excellent prices.
And now let's dive into thedeep end and see if we can save

(00:21):
episode 26.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
and see if we can save episode 26.
Rather than worry about savingepisode 26,.
Can we just have a moment ofsilence for the countless hours
of our lives wasted scrollingthrough the endless abyss of
online stupidity?
Yeah, legally I think thatcounts as a moment of silence.

(00:46):
Anyway, it's like the internethas turned everyone into a
stand-up comedian Not the goodkind like Steve Martin, kyle,
cease, louis Anderson, justinRuppel or Big Irish Jay, but
stand-up comedians withouttalent, without material,
without timing.

(01:06):
I get it, we all want a goodlaugh, but some people think
that saying the most random,offensive or just plain
nonsensical things willautomatically make them
hilarious, automatically makethem influencers who get to fly
around in G5 or G6 airplanes totropical islands.

(01:28):
That's not what happens.
Seriously, it's like thesepeople have never heard of
subtlety or wit.
They throw out a bunch of wordshoping something sticks.
Oh, and that is foreshadowingfor Teflon, which will be
appearing in a future episode.

(01:49):
Not even going to tear intopeople who think it's funny to
be mean, at least not thisepisode.
Making fun of others, spreadingmisinformation or generally
being rude is not humor, it'sbullying, it's sad.
Also and I may take a lot ofheat for this one genital

(02:10):
assault is not funny whenapplied to either sex.
That's right, I said it, that'sright.
Hollywood, looking at you Backbefore you had talking in the
film, you decided a whack to thesack was funny, funny, funny.
So to all.

(02:30):
You want to be comedians outthere?
Unless you're wanting to takethe time and educate yourself on
the craft, please just stop.
If you want to make peoplelaugh, try being creative,
thoughtful, maybe even a littlebit clever, and take some
classes, read some books.

(02:52):
The information is out there.
You can even listen to podcastsand YouTube from comedians who
want to help other people out,and if you're still struggling,
maybe just stick to watchingthose cat videos.
They're usually funnier andless toxic.
Having said that, have yousubscribed to the Scotty Don't X

(03:15):
on YouTube yet?
It's free, it's fun and a greatway to get notified about my
podcast, which has also beendescribed as an endless abyss of
online stupidity.
So on Reddit, there were a listof questions and, of course, I
know everything, so I couldanswer them all, but then a few

(03:38):
of them seemed to be obvioustrolls, and other ones were like
and a few of them seemed to beobvious trolls and other ones
were like yeah, I can answerthis, but you don't really want
me to, so I grabbed the deadbird and brought it to the

(03:58):
doorstep of you, my fine podcastlisteners.
Is it wrong for a vegetarian toeat animal crackers?
Well, my gut response is no.
Animal crackers shouldn'tcontain any meat.
And if they do, I'd consideryou'd be keen enough to Google
something similar to making anFDA complaint.
A more reasoned response.

(04:18):
Eating animal crackers is notgenerally considered wrong for
vegetarian, and here's whyAnimal crackers are not made
from animals.
They're typically made fromflour, sugar and other
plant-based ingredients.
The animal shapes are just afun design.
The term vegetarian is ofteninterpreted as avoiding the
consumption of animal flesh.
Animal crackers don't containany meat or animal byproducts,

(04:42):
so if you're a vegetarian andenjoy animal crackers, there's
no need to feel guilty.
They're a delicious andplant-based snack.
You've completed the ScottyNote X, episode 26, so go take a
victory lap.
Have a good day.
