I don't get what the joke is. Can someone explain?
Getting meta and doing a bad presentation about doing a bad presentation. I think it's funny in concept, but the problem with doing infuriating things on purpose is that they are still infuriating regardless of why you do them.
I think the key to this type of humor is really in the delivery. You have to be absolutely convinced that itâs funny as shit or it wonât work. If you half-ass it, itâll just be cringe.
That's most comedy. You gotta commit to the bit or it'll flop
Also for those who have done comedy, you'll know that this might not necessarily be OPs fault. His execution may have been fantastic, it just was the wrong crowd on the wrong day. Given another audience or another day, the context could change just enough to make it work. There are so many reasons people flop.
So if you are a comedian struggling with your set please remember; it's not your fault. You are funny.
Also quit now before you drop any more money on an improv class. Find a more profitable hobby like shooting heroin.
Basically, the guy did a prank as a presentation. Pranks are only funny when you're not the one being pranked on. Since the audience was being pranked on, they hated it.
