thplinth Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think we may have already voted when this place had a decent quorum of posters and pistonbroke was voted the funniest. Horrifically I think he may be an east coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just stuff that makes you laugh. I am east coast but found billy Connelly superb at his best and other west coast comedians very funny. Having said that you do get the odd weegie at work say who thinks he's the next Connelly, and continuously tries to get a laugh with his west coast humour. Quite painful. East coasters in general aren't like that. This is kind of what I'm interested in. What is it about this weegie's attempts to raise a laugh that fall flat ? Is it the patter or the personality that are off putting ? Or both ? Edited August 10, 2016 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) West coasters are quite chatty due to their socialising in big cities and having a sense of humour (see above). East Coasters went for centuries and today still for many hours just whittling or repairing fishing nets. They confuse 'speaking' with 'showing off' and see it as akin to a theatre performance. If you say more than three words a day you are risking a kicking.  Edited August 10, 2016 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil r Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The Glesga humour is pure gallus by the way. Everyone in Glesga is a Glesga comedian. Its the pure Glesga patter from the Glesga people cause only the Glesga folk lived in the tenaments and Glesga poverty was worse than anywhere else that isnae the Glesga. Thats why the pure gallus Glesga humour is funnier than anywhere else. And its pure Glesga folk funnier in the Glesga humour palace called the Glesga pavillion where the Glesga folk that made up the Glesga audience who lived 70 to a room in the Glesga tenaments with a midden that no-one else anywhere else ever had, were funnier than the acts cause of the Glesga banter. Pure gallus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
