We've all imagined doing stand-up at one time or another and thought about a good routine to start off with.
What's your classic stand-up routine?
I'll start.
Ever noticed how parents talk to their children in third person?
"If you eat your vegetables mommy will be so proud of you".
"Don't do that, okay. Daddy doesn't like it".
It's like they think it's a trick to make the kid do what they want. Imagine if that worked everywhere:
Going to your physician:
"You should take this pill twice a day, okay. Then the doctor will be so proud of you."
Or in the army:
"We're going for a really long march now, and if everyone keeps up the pace the sergeant will be so happy. We don't want him to get upset now, do we?
Okay, that sucked. Now let me hear yours.
