Hey guys I do a lot of reading about our cosmic cousins and I try to incorporate this into my act but so far it just SEEMS that I can't get any laughs with my alien jokes. As a self observer and overthinker I think its come down to a couple things and i'm hoping the reason is not because its lackin the funny
1) I can't do an impersonation or act out of an alien not because I lack the talent but because no one knows how they talk, nor will an audience buy the joke because our perceptions of aliens is not a shared thought. Meaning what I think of as an alien is going to differ from another person unlike jokes about men/women which are shared thoughts that everyone can relate to
2) When ever you make the comparison of aliens to anything its fucking ridiculous. Its an absurd joke but like its almost as if it can't be an absurd joke because the absurdity is to unbelievable
infact the only alien jokes I've ever seen work where all pop culture related ones. I remember hearing one about ET and another I can't remember.
anyway to wrap and roll it up to my point- does anyone else have difficulty writing alien jokes?
