Fraudulently Funny
You wouldn’t think Club Fed was a place of great humor, but Second City should be spending more time with Uncle Sam to harvest the wealth of material available.
In your midst are an array of Crimson Characters that are full of Scarlet Sarcasm. These Funny Felons may not even be aware of the mirth they create.
While absorbing and translating the language of Club Fed (see related post entitled “LexiCON”) a WCC will find amusing the interactions among the various groups of people. Whether it be chatter over playing cards or hilarious trash talking while cheering on your Softball team, Amy Schumer has got nothing on these Funny Felons.
While waiting in line at Fed Mart a Crimson Crony may pop out of a large packing box startling you and setting everyone into fits of laughter. An otherwise mundane activity becomes amusing in your remote Camp.
Think about the most basic skit on SNL that brought joyous tears to your eyes. A simple misunderstanding diffused with a raucous laugh. Who doesn’t want to laugh or have fun? Even at Club Fed people want to smile.
It’s not the land of the living dead, with the exception of those in a self imposed Prozac induced Zombie state.
Think back to your Boarding School days. Reach out to people, even if you are painfully shy. Try to find commonalities and find the joy that is all around you and just waiting to be tapped.
Wickedly witty opportunities abound. Lorne Michaels should hire some new “players” that have been on sabbatical to add some much needed comedic talent to the new SNL cast.
When Kevin Hart jokes about his butt being a prison wallet to an auditorium full of people and their reaction shakes the roof, you know you have an abundance of gags at your disposal. You don’t need to carry The Scarlet F to appreciate the humor gained at Club Fed.
