Hey! I'm the farting in the shower guy. A couple of things about my bit. First of all, I need to defend myself against the stealing from Maria Bamford accusation. I like Maria, and I had honestly never heard her do a bit about pugs, so I googled "Maria Bamford pugs" and it turns out she does. I had never heard it before, and while it does have in common the fact that she notes that pugs make a noise and they've been bred poorly I think if you listen to both its clear that they've been arrived at independently, especially if you've ever met a pug, because they are clearly ridiculous. In any case, the only real crime about that bit was that it wasn't funny. I still think there's something there, in the notion that someone invented those things on purpose, but it needs some work. I wish I would have given myself more time, or at least put that bit at the end.
In any case, I thought the first joke was solid enough to at least get the rest of the submission played, but Keith didn't even chuckle. Chemda laughed, but not enough to make up for the saggy middle. But I would ask any of you that have a moment to give the rest of the bit a shot because my favorite jokes come right after they cut it off, and I would like to know if they work for anyone else. Thanks!
