The topic for this thread was inspired by Roosh's post, in which he writes:
We've all spit another man's game in the name of getting it wet. And you don't need Jerry Seinfeld-like mastery of comedy to make her laugh when she already digs you.
So with that in mind...
Who do you crib comedy from?
What bits do you find yourself using on girls the most?
Personally, most of my lines are stuff I've made up myself. But here and there, I've definitely cribbed material, and I got just as many laughs for it.
I like Chris Rock, Larry David, Bill Burr, and Adam Carolla. They're all comics I love anyway, but their kind of humor seems pretty easy to play off when talking to people normally. Their stuff is always real, and often about men and women, so it's easy to work into a conversation. Material about the sexes is the most versatile and natural, and it keeps you from becoming an entertainer by making the conversation stay personal, and even a little adversarial. I can easily imagine, for instance, stealing Bill Burr's bit about how "I'd be such an asshole if I were a woman." Funny Twitter feeds are useful. Jerry Seinfeld is good too, but its lack of edginess makes it less memorable and a little too subtle for your average girl.
I haven't systematically watched material and filed it away for use in macking, if only because I'm lazy. As it is, when I first meet a girl, I crack the same jokes over and over to the inevitable initial questions. Race humor, eg pretending to be another ethnicity by playing on stereotypes, is also one I do often. Even hipster white girls will laugh at the most racist shit as long as you're funny and ignore her the first time she says "Ohmygod you're so racist!" With a little creativity and the right topic, it's not hard to be funny. It helps to surround yourself with guys who constantly rag on each other.
One thing I've noticed, an easy target for getting laughs from American girls is joking about certain celebrities or TV shows. Jersey Shore used to be good fodder, but it's a bit passe now. Anything about Justin Bieber is still gold though. Chris Brown & Rihanna is another - I'd deadpan "I taught Chris Brown everything he knows," at a topical point, eg, just after I told a girl about my boxing practice.
