The 5 Types of Funny People (Originally published on Mar. 13, 2012)

As a stand up comedian, and writer I find it crucial to observe the human condition. What I mean by this is I sit back and watch people make asses of themselves… it’s awesome. As many comedians, I tend to compare my comedic prowess to others. Thus this article. 
5. The Court Jester 
This person is usually a guy… and a teenager. He probably watches a lot of family guy, and certainly tries to live his life like the show. He’s loud and obnoxious, because he doesn’t know how to get someone’s attention other than yelling. He acts out, and is the bain of any teacher’s existence. In small increments this person can be tolerable. Anything other than that and there is a very good chance you want to hit him harder than Peter Griffin has hit that chicken guy. (That's a thing right? I don't really watch Family Guy… I’m not sure if it’s someone in a suit or actually a giant chicken) Honestly either way it wouldn't surprise me, and the court jester would eat that shit up. 
You know who this guy is, if not you are him
4. The Cool Funny Person
This particular person probably won class clown in high school. Though they are usually far from the funniest person you’ve met. It’s a funny thing that when you hang out with a group that’s comedy is let’s say… sub par the person who is the funniest is probably not all that funny. 
Hey guys what do an ocean and a pussy have in common? 
What? 
They are both wet when I’m in them! 
An Ocean is always wet though.
Don’t be a bitch bro.

3. The Kind of Funny Person who’s viewed as really funny
It’s not to say that they… aren’t funny but they aren’t hilarious. However to people who don’t have the best sense of humor they are god. I can give you two examples of people like this. First off there is Jenna Marbles, yes this isn’t going to be popular, but it needs to be said. While I do like Jenna Marbles’ videos if she was just an average looking girl I don’t think she would be as popular as she is. Not only that, but let’s be honest there just aren’t too many funny women in the comedy game, so when one comes around who is kind of funny, people eat that shit up. The second is Dane Cook. Is he funny? Sure. I guess. Is he popular? He was for some reason. 
No guys… she’s totally into me. 
2.   The actual funny person 
Everyone knows an extremely funny person. The thing is… you might not know it. For someone who is naturally funny, it’s not about letting people know you’re funny so much as it is about just be themselves. They don’t tend to rub your nose in it, yet there timing and sense is the that legends are made of.

1. The D-Bag
This guy is pretentious. He’s in your face. He’s probably writing a blog about what types of people are funny. Don’t get to know him. He’s not your friend. 
This is Brian… he is not your friend
