The grand compromise (long, rambling post)

1  2019-09-07 by OkaySeriouslyBro

We have two parties:

Joe Cumia: an unabashed lolcow in his purest, truest form. Who needs to hide behind an internet persona of being a badass biker, a great father, a military veteran, blah blah boring. Also entirely uncreative when it comes to original shit.

The sub: a diverse group of anonymous shits who nevertheless have to "succeed" by posting mean/funny content and getting internet uparrows. Also entirely willing to just stay anonymous with our stupid regular lives and not chase "the glory".

What compromises need to be made?

Joe Cumia: Admit most of what we say about you is true. Stop steering against the skid and steer into it. For this plan to succeed, this is the most important step, and I'm convinced you won't do it because you're too proud. You want the world to see you as the awesome badass. Humor comes from honesty, it comes from self-deprecation, it comes from someone being the butt of the joke and the butt of the joke is you, Joe. You can fight it or you can embrace it.

The sub: Put our talents together to help Joe Cumia, in the next chapter of his career. Oh I know that's rough, but hear me out: our goal is to make Joe more famous than Ant. Second rough outcome: we will no longer be able to cancel Joe's gigs, because in my pitch all his cards are on the table. If you've made it this far don't downvote me til you've read everything.

My pitch:

Joe Cumia: The Targeted Harassment Tour. We're booking comedy clubs (not restaurants), and Joe - it's up to you to use Ant or whatever comic friends you have (like your BFF Colin) to connect with club owners. It's the James Hefner Solo Trio setup - Joe playing all instruments, but every song has it's lyrics rewritten by someone on this sub to be trashing Joe Cumia. Substitute "ninja" and "maggot" for those two words that will surely pop up but Joe - nothing else changes. No softening of the horrible parodies this sub will write. Your audience needs to be able to go onto reddit and see these parodies are pure. If you wanna disqualify parodies based on "Layla" (which fuck, people would write), I understand, but you get to keep one topic off-limits. I think it should be your daughter.

I'm an ideas man, and there has never been a comedy show where a guy sings 100% song parodies entirely dedicated to shitting on the guy singing the songs. VH1 Storytellers style, you strum the guitar for a bit and explain what the song is about before launching into it. That's a million dollar idea Joe, something nobody has ever done, and such a brilliant pitch. You could on Netflix. And - coup de grace - you close each show with a song parody by you to us. Like a fucking roast, the last voice is Joe telling all of us we suck and "winning" over the audience.

As for the sub, two scenarios happen. 1. This plan fails and we get video of Joe singing horrible things about himself. 2. This plan succeeds, Joe becomes the more known brother, and the Cumia soap opera takes a grand turn.

tl;dr don't take adderall when you havent taken it for years

This might be the most retarded thing I've ever read.

You are in the right place, sir.

No, I mean downvote me if you must, this is the smartest thing I've ever written.

I've also thought up a screenplay idea where vampires take over the world, but still breed "normal" humans like cows or chickens, and my protagonist is a cute girl who is "bred" to be eventually sucked by vampires but is saved by a male vampire who falls in love with her and protects her.

Bitch that's Twilight but better. I shouldn't be posting on reddit but this sub will be dead in a week so fuck it.

nobody's done the take over & feed-off humanity plot before, I'd genuinely tell you if they had.

Toss Pot it's vampires. Every vampire movie is vampires lurking in corners and remaining hidden from humanity. Who has done vampires taken over and a human cattle rebelling against the new world?

Isn’t that more or less exactly the plot of The Strain?

"Thanks" would have worked.

Fuck Joe. Harass that retard to suicide or inevitable stroke

That's some gospel fuckin there folks

You know I'm serious Joe. We're individuals in this little cult here, read this plan and tell me it isn't genius. All of your musical talents, our comedic creativity, a fresh ass concept that will entertain all of us.

Tell me what's wrong with the concept other than you not dropping the Joe "Awesome Badass" Cumia persona

Jesus Christ man

Joe should livestream his entire day. Maybe he can find a few sponsors and have an ad or two every hour. Joe needs to be seen and heard by everyone!

I read the whole thing but all I have to say is sup with that adderall tho?

I mean whaddya wanna know?

I don't take it regularly but I'm whatever and it's 8:19pm and I expect to be up all night coming up with ideas.

Probably could have gone to law school with this shit regularly prescribed. Parents with intelligent but distracted children, get your fucking kids on this shit and don't go the "no handle it on your own" route.

No date tonight?

While I'm aware this is ironic, its still long-winded and gay.
