Stand Up Helper

By Benjamin Phillips

     As a service to any stand up comedians out there who may be struggling to come up with material for their acts, Brain Pan offers the following possible comic rich areas that might be mined for their mid-level somewhat mediocre comic potential seeing as how many of the old standards like bad airline food, mother's in law, and Clinton sex jokes don't really work anymore.

 

Telemarketers and how they call all the time

Unwanted junk e-mail (possibility for jokes about impotence abound)

 

Overzealous security in airports post 9-11

 

The omnipresence of cellular phones

 

Athletic steroid abuse and how funny that is

 


     This is just a start. Don't be afraid to keep trotting out light observational humor, as Jerry Seinfeld has all but dropped off the map, leaving that field totally open.
