A story about the harsh reality of depression.

187  2016-07-28 by 1073WAAF

A man goes to the doctor and explains to him that he is extremely depressed. He can't find a woman to love him, he has no children, he hates his job, no one in his life respects him, he can't sleep at night, his aging body is wasting away to nothing.

"I don't know what to do Doctor. I'm absolutely miserable and I just can't seem to shake it." The doctor confidently responds without skipping a beat, "The treatment for your ailment is simple my friend. You just need a good dose of laughter to cheer you up. Comedian Jim Norton is performing at the local theater this weekend. Go buy a ticket and enjoy the show. The ribald topical humor will undoubtedly lift your spirits."

The man sighed and looked down at the floor before opening his mouth to speak. "But Doctor...I am Jim Norton."

10/10 Excellent Read.

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

Should I tip the waiter?

What are you, some kind of nigger? Of course you tip.

Waiters are queers taking away jobs from women. Don't tip waiters dude.

I never considered that. You make a good point. Plus they'll never fuck you if you go over 25%.

He is the illness... and the cure!

The giver and the receiver

The top and the bottom.

like snake venom

Then the doctor said 'Okay well fortunately there's an alternative. Take 1 dose of Rich Vos at the Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown NY Friday and Saturday starting August 5.'

Is that a Watchmen reference? I hope Norton ends up like The Comedian.

It's an Italian fable. Like Ant's monster cock.

And his ratings.

I believe the monster cock. I think that's really why Opie hated him. He caught a glimpse of it at a urinal and it was the final straw. Anthony was funnier and better liked than him and then to top it all off he had a giant cock while Opie was unfunny, disliked and packing his 2 inch trouser trout.

It's an optical illusion because he's 5 foot 2

or because he's sticking it into a toddler

Oof

Who watches the watchmen? If by watchmen we mean any of the boys the answer is no one.

Yes, Rorschach tells this little story, good movie.

the sex scene in that movie was a fucking atrocity.

THAT'S THE BIT YOU DOPE

One of my favorites. Very true to the comic, except the ending, which is whatever, but still a good ending

I liked the ending better in the movie

You're not alone

I would have liked to see the giant pussy monster from the comic book.

I think you get to see parts of it in the extended version

Bite your tongues, the botha ya.

Movie was the worst thing that's ever happened and Zack Snyder should go hoarse begging for his life to deaf and uncaring ears.

Nobody knows who Jim Norton is.

What a twist! And a story more epic than Harry Potter.

more epic than Harry Potter Harry the Hater

You could have left the first Harry

I'm new at this "text" joke thing

Wouldn't expect a civilian like you to understand

And that is how you executive produce!

:'(

Poor lil fellur

Wait, the doctor would have examined and diagnosed him without ever learning his name? Something about this is fishy.

Doctor starts writing "I'm going to prescribe you two shotgun shells applied orally"

Won't read it but assume it involves sucking dong,bravisimo.

That was like an M. Night Shamalayn ending.

Holy shit

mind blown

I was hoping for the moth joke but this was also nice.

Just watched that again yesterday...it might be the best joke ever told.

Link please

Norm rules

Awesome! I was feeling exactly like that man just now & this made me laugh really hard. Thanks!

Still processing the twist at the end. By the time I got to it I was so invested in the story that I felt betrayed. I mean, I understand that you wanted to make a point, but to toy with our emotions like this. It's just not right.

You're always one relapse away from getting a solid 2-4 weeks of happiness!

True.

Patient zero...with a zero T-cell count

Who?

I thought the moral of the story was gonna be to have Jim Norton be your co host.

I know I'm the exception here, but that was shite

I call bullshit.

The only doctor who would give that advice is Kervorkian, and he is dead.

The only answer for Morton is fucking jumping off the roof of his fancy shmancy big baller building.

Make a big fucking mess on the street, finally make the front page of both NY papers.

Norton is a fucking loser.

You should hold a gun to your temple, pull the trigger and put a depression in your skull.

I skipped right to the end expecting peckahs. Some sort of Vos roll with a Jim date. Not going to read it just here to call you a faggot.

don't be angry because you're uncultured

I did the same, then I read ""But Doctor...I am Jim Norton." and started rolling all over the floor.
