When did you give up on your creativity?
>>
Everyone knows jokes are spontaneous, not written down. That's a pleb way of being funny. Stand-up is shit.
>>
Something you wrote as an early adolescent was bad? Wow that means you'll never amount to anything in life, you might as well kill yourself.

Idiot.
>>
all i'm getting from this is that you've improved enough to see the failures of your past work

in which case well done anon!
>>
>>7644234
I'm sure you'd feel no emotional impact tossing aside something you had invested years writing.
>>
>>7644249
What does that have to do with losing all faith in your sense of humour and creativity?
>>
>>7644251
It's a long-term creative comedic effort, what's not to get?

It doesn't matter at what stage of life it was written, the main point is seeing that the piece is no longer up to personal standards and now worthless. Expired. Now an entirely new foundation needs to be created on the basis that all past work is trash.

I'm sure you could appreciate the short term impact of this situation.

Yeah that's why Picasso gave up painting when someone showed him the dried pasta he'd glued to coloured paper in primary school.
>>
please post some of the jokes
>>
>>7644294

Look on my works and despair. Here are some of the first and some of the last.

(Ages 12-13)
What do you call an unhappy tent? Discontent
Why did Hezbollah buy boxes of ‘dungeons and dragons’? They wanted RPGS
What do you call an anxious tent? Tentative

(Ages 17-18)
what do you call a manly artificial face? Maskuline
how do you serve illegally caught eggs? Poached
Why does garbage have such low self esteem? Because it keeps getting dumped
>>
>>7644304
>12- 13
>know what Hezbollah is
Do you live in Israel or Lebanon?
>>
>>7644304
>Why did Hezbollah buy boxes of ‘dungeons and dragons’? They wanted RPGS
I liked that one.
>>
>>7644313
Nowhere near.

I honestly have no idea, probably news or lebanese school kids.
>>
>>7644304

The jokes penned ages 12-13 are exceptional for such an age, but there seems to be no evolution in the space of 5 years, so you end up in a situation where you're an 18 YO in arrested development rather than a precocious 12 YO.

>>7644304
You don't Catch eggs. So meta
>>
>>7644335
You've obviously never played that one game where you catch eggs. You throw them in the air.
>>
>>7644335
Illegally hunted then

>>7644322
for all intents and purposes

I was on a camping trip at the time
