I'm lost. I get what you mean though. I hate when people attempt to be random.
I see you..

Well, certain types of random can be funny. I'm a bit random myself, but that's because odd thoughts enter my head and i tell them to people. Not because i try to be random by saying a word that is out of context.
Hey I was just going through old comments and realized you gave me some advice way back I sort of took recently.
I did? Link? :p
Or just tell me what advice i gave and what you did with it.. i'm kinda curious now.
It was on my account jamiek. <a href="http://jamiek.newgrounds.com/news/post/532175">http://jamiek.newgrounds.com/news/pos t/532175</a> .lol It was all the way back in 2010 but I haven't been online much last year. Yea it wasn't much but you were right.
Ah, i see. Well, i'm just glad i could help you. And that you remember this after such a long time.. that's pretty cool.
sounds like observational humor?
we've had some pretty intense round-table, stream of consciousness, shit-talking sessions under the influence of LSD. a lot of brilliant comedians were massive trippers. the funniest (and nicest) people i know also have a bit of a history.
(not advocating btw, just an observation i've made. i guess my point is that good comedy comes from an open/expanded mind. how you achieve that is your own business!)
i think you might like Mitch Hedberg:

Oh man, i typed out a pretty long response, but for some reason FireFox froze and now i'll have to type everything again.
Anyway.. people who have a history tend to have a better perspective on life. Experiencing things makes that you know what's important. Not that you have to have a history to have a good perspective on life, but it helps.. i think.
And yes, it's observational humour. Sort of. Although i don't like the style that Mitch Hedberg uses, just spouting one-liners. I think that is, because i'm more used to the Dutch style of stand-up which isn't really stand-up :p
It's more of a mixture of (stand-up) comedy, theatre, and music and often includes social themes and political satire. It has a bit more substance than just one-liners.
As you can see in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd hFvWqdkv8 (although you can't understand what he's saying, because it's Dutch) the first chuckle from the audience is at 01:20.
It's much slower paced, but i think it's really captivating when executed right.
''i guess my point is that good comedy comes from an open/expanded mind''
Definitely agree with you there!
At first i wasn't a fan of Mitch Hedberg, one-liners have always seemed a bit lowbrow to me.
But over time I've found his act to be really endearing. I like his delivery, and that he doesn't rely on offensive or aggressive humor. I appreciate anti-comedy, and i think his strings of one-liners are a wicked example of this :)
Not relying on offensive or aggressive humour is a plus indeed. That's one of the reasons why i like Ronald Goedemondt and a bunch of other comedians; they can be funny on their own without bashing someone/something else.
And.. are one-liners really anti-comedy? I mean, one-liners are meant to be funny, right? Or are anti-humour and anti-comedy different things?
PIED3
Who's the dutch comedian?
FairSquare
Ronald Goedemondt. That's his name.
