i searched and searched for a joke contest, having faintly remembering that there was one when cB was in its old format. but I didn't find any so...
im hoping for a joke contest!... there might be a group of judges to help decide which jokes goes to the final round for cBers to vote... and applications could be riddles, jokes, or small stories with a punch line. (small as in like 10 sentences at the most) with each month there will be a general topic that all applications must obey. if there is a joke contest, let me know. the cB search probably didn't catch it. |

There is one problem that I can think of already...
How can people trace if the made the joke up themselves or they simply retold it?  Or does originality matter?

i believe that originality does matter in a way.
but one could send in a joke from a source as long as it is stated in the application that the joke came from a source. if it is not stated and judges do find a one just like it or very similar to it, it is called plagerism and the contestant will be disqualified. or originality on a joke will give an applicant a better chance of winning because work was in it. Work as in thinking and writing and spending time writing it, not going to google and copy and paste a joke and then claim it is theirs. |

This kind of fell off the radar. Was anyone even really interested in this?

This is such a shitty idea. A lot of the humor in a comedy show comes from the delivery of a comedian. Which obviously can't really be conveyed as well in text. What a piece of shit.

Well, it was just an idea. If people liked it, why not give it a chance, right?

Then perhaps videos should be used.

Great, I'm looking forward to seeing 14 year olds recycling jokes and doing a shitty job at it.
