How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #3, Caritas, 06.07.06, Afternoon
After the students had walked into Caritas and settled in, the familiar opening to The Final Countdown began. GOB walked onto the stage much more calmly than usual and waved to the students before finally stopping and speaking into the microphone. "You know, I just flew in from California, and boy is this joke tired!"
The zombie drummer rolled off a perfect rimshot.
"Continuing with last week's comedy theme, today we're going to be trying out standup comedy. A standup just has to be funny, so the entrance isn't as important as it is for other forms of entertainment. Just walk out to your music, be gentle with your audience, then rip into whatever the hell you want for a few minutes. Take a couple minutes to come up with your act, then take turns up here."
"The only rule is that you have to be funny. It doesn't matter what you joke about as long as you remember that. Also, don't mock me or you get detention. Just because I have a thick skin doesn't mean I have to use it."
"Oh, at the end of the month, you all have to participate in a talent show. And next week I'm coaching a basketball game. Come out to see!"

Re: The Stage [WS3]
"So I'm hanging out with all of my buddies, and um, I realize something. I realize something. You know the group of people you've known the longest in your life? You know the group of friends you've hung out with the most? This is what I've realized. I had an ephiphany. There is ONE person in EVERY group of friends that nobody fucking likes. You basically keep them there to hate their guts! When that person is not around, the rest of your little base camp? Your hobby is cutting that person down. Example! BONNIE is always a douchebag. Every group has a Bonnie and she's always a bag of douche. And when she's not around, you go "GOD, BONNIE. She's such a douchebag!" Until she walks up and then you're all 'Hey, what's up, Bon?' And I'm looking out and there's some people who are all 'Hmm I disagree', when YOU'RE the person, you're the person nobody likes. Your whole life that person's been there too. That's how Dave is in our group. Nobody likes Dave. Yet everywhere we go, Dave would show up, even if we didn't tell him where we were going. We would go some place and he would do that 'I just found you' run. 'Hahahaha hi guys, what's up guuuuys?' And one of us would see him and warn the rest of the group. We'd be like 'Fucking Dave's coming.' 'What?' 'Fucking Dave's coming!' That's his name. 'Fucking Dave's coming.' I heard a rumor that when he was born, even the doctor said 'Fucking Dave's coming. Let's get this demon seed outta here.'"
