LI Comedy Contest

[Re.TiReD]

AssalamuAlaykum

Hey up Folks! I learn a new word today btw....Goes by the name of....Improvise ;D

Lol that was meant to be funny by the way because....well just because.

• Hmm, so here's the deal (I think) .... participants must pair up....basically work in pairs.
• 5 Judges are needed at this stage to judge the entries
• Entries are in script form (See behind the scenes of LI thread if you dont know what one is)
• Deadline is 10th January

Any questions please ask :D

WassalamuAlaykum

[Yanal]

[Re.TiReD]

*cough* not December, January.

Bro.Yanal would you care to explain the wisdom behind having ppl in pairs? :D

[Yanal]

Ah ermm.... A it's becuase it's easier for both people to make jokes then one.. I suppose. And it will be fun with two.

[Re.TiReD]

Me, please :D.

We have the first judge :p

[Re.TiReD]

btw if we need 5 judges its techically 2.5 bro's and 2.5 sisters. I think we need 3 each to make it fair.

[Güven]

[Re.TiReD]

Me wants to be judge :thumbs_up

[Yanal]

[Re.TiReD]

What's the deadline the judges have to make their decisions by? Insha'Allah I'll be busy for the next 3-4 weeks, soo..

17th Jan insha'Allah

[Ali.]

That should be OK.

[Ali.]

I'm having second thoughts now.. could that be extended to the 22nd please? :$ Sorry for the disruption.

[Güven]

[Ali.]

Thanks so much.

[Ansariyah]

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

for a joke to take ONE month ...what!? lol

:wasalamex

You go? I mean...suggestions?

[Güven]

1 week is ENOUGH!

We already have the photo contest going on ...SO i cant bother to make/judge jokes and take pictures at the same time:skeleton:

[Re.TiReD]

Is it....I dont mind either way lets see what brother Mz has to say insha'Allah 2mrw

[Ansariyah]

^Too bad u can't multi-task..:X

[Yanal]

Som e people are not active since holidays so one month seems fine.

[Güven]

its HOLIDAYS that means MORE active Innit or am i confused ?

[Re.TiReD]

Som e people are not active since holidays so one month seems fine.

But its also true that a month is too drawn out

[Yanal]

Yes how about 2 weeks by then I will recover.

[Nájlá]

lol yeh 2 weeks is ok.

i think muezzin should take part and not be a judge but thats up to him.

[Yanal]

Yeah me to and I need a male partner anyone?

[Muezzin]

muezzin wanted to be a judge

Yep.

U sure sis?

Yep.

^ Muezzin said so in the other thread I think...

Yep.

i think muezzin should take part and not be a judge but thats up to him.

Nope. No time. Sorry.

Plus, I'd like to see what everyone else has to offer. :D

EDIT: Is there a word limit or anything on the scripts? Entrants might need a bit of guidance. I'm not saying that there should be a limit, I'm just asking if one actually exists. :)

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

Consider that some members may be writing scripts, which could take some time.

I'm not entering, by the way.

[Periwinkle18]

i'm not entering but i'll be waiting to read the scripts wen ppl write dem.

[Nájlá]

if u still need a judge then i dont mind being one.

[unknown_JJ]

if u still need a judge then i dont mind being one.

Me, Yanoorah and Honeybee are judging,

is that ok?

is that too many? :D

I just want to help.

[Yanal]

No Muezzin there isn't a word limit.

[Re.TiReD]

Judges are sorted then alhamdulillah

Honeybee, JJ, Yanoorah

Ali, Muezzin, Guven

Yanal I think there should be a limit...?

[Yanal]

How much? Let's say each person has 10-15 lines each.

[Re.TiReD]

How much? Let's say each person has 10-15 lines each.

That's too less I think akhee, if you look at the length of the scripts that people write? We'll wait for suggestions insha'Allah...

[Yanal]

Yeah I was thinking 30-40.

[Re.TiReD]

Oki...

Set theme?

Ideas, suggestions?

[Woodrow]

For the length, it usually take a person 250 words to just get the introduction.

1000 words would be too much for the judges. so how about a 350 word limit. Counting like in typing 7 letters and/or spaces counting as one word. Don't have to be exact no big deal if it goes to 400 words

So call the limit a Maximum of 450 words.


I think I just did an entry for the contest by trying to suggest a word limit.

[Re.TiReD]

lol thank you bro, so thats sorted then insha'Allah.

I dont know if people will enter but suggestions on themes would be good unless you just wana let your imagination and humour run wild...?

Just keep it halal insha'Allah.

[Muezzin]

I think I just did an entry for the contest by trying to suggest a word limit.

Thing is, if it's a script, just typing each character's name will consume many words.

But, if it's agreed, ignore me.

Theme - I don't mind, just make us laugh. Remember, the trick with comedy is, if it makes you, the writer, laugh, it will probably do the same for others. :)

Content - no profanity, no sexuality etc, the usual.

[Re.TiReD]

Hmm, ok dont bother too much about the word limit, just that if it's too long it might bore rather than amuse.

[Yanal]

Muezzin don't mind me asking but what is profinaity?

[Muezzin]

Muezzin don't mind me asking but what is profinaity?

Swearing/bad language.

[aamirsaab]

:sl:
Judges shouldn't be allowed to enter the contest and neither should their family members - standard competition rules.

So that rules me out :)

[Nájlá]

will the judges know who entered and know which scripts belongs to who?

[Re.TiReD]

Erm.

I think it might be pretty obvious which one belongs to whom because of the names in the scripts. I think we should keep this open and just vote sincerely for the one you found most amusing rather than based on who the participant is. That make sense?

I think we'll have a thread where they can post their work, and they are advised to post on the last day insha'Allah

WassalamuAlaykum

[unknown_JJ]

Ahh sorry! But I think the rules are good. :D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

remember people we're not writing stories!


we just intend to wreak humour !!

[Re.TiReD]

Deadline...12th Jan :D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

who are we sending our humour to?

[Yanal]

This Contest is dedicated to Laywers and future lawyers.) No to the judges.

[Re.TiReD]

In the thread I make on the day of the deadline insha'Allah

This Contest is dedicated to Laywers and future lawyers.) No to the judges.

eh?

[Yanal]

that is what the contest is donating to:D Joke.

[Re.TiReD]

lol ok, are you entering by the way? Invisible mode doesnt suit you yanal :p

[Yanal]

I know, I think I am entering I already have 20 lines with a conversation win grandpa woodrow.
I know it doesn't suite me but I log in and stay in and am to lazy to log off and it feels
Like I'm dumb but invisible is good but I'll look for suggestions inshallah.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

lol ok, are you entering by the way? Invisible mode doesnt suit you yanal :p

it doesnt suit anyone


infact it annoys me



QUITE A LOT !

[Yanal]

Yes but then you'll be seeing me on 24/7 when I'm doing something else.

[Woodrow]

it doesnt suit anyone


infact it annoys me



QUITE A LOT !

I find it funny. It seems people who use it forget that they are seen when they post. Kind of hard to stay invisible and post. Handy tool for us Staff when we need to be incognito, but of little use to people who want to post.

[Yanal]

But this Is going off topic. So who's entering?

[Musaafirah]

So basically the script needs to involve li members....hmmmm

[Nájlá]

^ no i dont think so. u could make them up

[Yanal]

Yes and it has to have me in it mandortory.

[Muezzin]

So basically the script needs to involve li members....hmmmm

Not necessarily. The Behind the Scenes thread is just an example of a script.

[Musaafirah]

But then if it involves random people you know personally but not on LI it wouldn't be the same, would it. How would it be posted in an anonymous fashion if we're to post it in a thread? That's just confuzzling. Where are the conditions of entry etc?

[Yanal]

Then don't add them. just read the first post or my comedy contest thread.

[Yanal]

Asalam A'lakum Warakmatulah Wabarkatuh.
What are we going to do? Amatul Wadud is gone......

[Nájlá]

i think bro muezzin should take over this thread?

[Cabdullahi]

just be patient,the sister will be back inshallah

[Re.TiReD]

AssalamuAlaykum

Deadline 12th Jan

You may send the humour to me since I'm not entering nor participating.

It would be kool to have the script include LI members since it'll be more entertaining but up to you I guess.

I cant remember if we set a word limit but go wild. If you like.

And bro Yanal, I'm just making this up as I go along, you cudda just taken over if I hadnt returned :) was your idea anyway, I just made the thread for you.

WassalamuAlaykum

[Whatsthepoint]

January 12th you say?

[Re.TiReD]

January 12th you say?

Uh huh, give us some Garfield Humour.

There is a point.

[Periwinkle18]

i can't wait to read the scripts.

[Muezzin]

Also, to keep things simple, entries are not anonymous. Just post them in the thread. :)

I understand certain members want to work with a partner. This is fine - just give them credit in the post.

[Re.TiReD]

Oki doke, in which case you dont send em to me. You just post in the thread that somebody will make.

Can somebody else make it please, my visits to the forum will be few and far between.

[Yanal]

Have no fear Yanal is here I'll make it.

[Re.TiReD]

Deadline tmorrow insha'Allah for anybody who bothered entering :p

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Insha'Allah Yanal's entry will win den

[Yanal]

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ now i feel guilty

[Re.TiReD]

:uuh:
All that hard work! For nothing! I took my time, and I'm really busy these days, with exams. Anyway if no one entered what will I get for prize?

Lol you want a prize if you win?

Wat you want? :p

And ima just bump ur thread insha'Allah so that others can post their scripts there

[Muezzin]

We could always extend the deadline.

[Re.TiReD]

^ we could.

Anybody wana?

[Yanal]

Maybe 2 days max. If anyone wants but not much because I wanna know the winner before my exams:uuh:

[Muezzin]

When are your exams?

[Yanal]

January 14 will be practice till real exams which are on Jan20 till 31 I think. But it starts on 20 & the practice exams are 15% of whole term.

[Ali.]

^ But there honestly is no point in having a contest if one person is entering. I think the deadline should be extended.

[Güven]

^Two persons :D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Me VS Yanal.


contest of a lifetime!!!! :D

[Pk_#2]

Congruts on Yr first sticky Yanal, I would post one if survivor and zAk weren't online, but I think they use invisible. :X

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ post one

[Pk_#2]

^ post one

i like your humour, cracks me up

By the way if I got the colours miXed up, it's coz I can't see the colours on ma pc, that or am colour blind ahaha,

EDIT


*Am not entering the contest, but for you Mz..just for a laugh. And am editing afta you read it..*


P.s I'm a judge, so I can't

You were too late Mz, nobody else was menno see it :'(

[Pk_#2]

Wow, Pk_#2. That totally sounds like stuff I would say. How uncanny. :uuh:

:uuh: Heh. Where did Yu come out from?

[Yanal]

Are judges judging? When will they be finished judging? And is there an extention of the deadline?

[Yanal]

Yeh but you're gonna win. I'm rusty on my online humour these days but I'm making another one. In that is Abu sayyad , zAk , Anyonous gender and some of you & bro farhan. The main concept is that both admins r talking about marriage thinking there in the admins section but there not they're in the bros section and the AG comes to take revenge.... Coming soon near the end of January '09 or later.

[Re.TiReD]

Deadline 16th insha'Allah if thats k.

You know who the judges are Yanal, they're in this thread... PK, yanoorah and naj I think and muezzin, Ali and Guven

WassalamuAlaykum

[Yanal]

Ok but first ask if anyone else is entering because if not what's the use of extending the deadline.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

huh? but pk entered!

[Yanal]

Anyone Else entering Please post if you need more time if you're planning to enter now!

[Yanal]

He said it's just for you.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

lol i read it


you should enter !

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ yeh just realised

[Yanal]

Hes gone for the day. Maybe pm him to ask. But I thought this was a battle between You & ME!
Oh I get it, your trying to get more backup eh, so if pk wins you'll take the credit saying " I told him to enter" :D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ you read me like a book bro


i jus cant handle you :'(

[misstique009]

Erm..excuse me, bt cud sum1 plz tel wat exactly dis comedy contest is abt? Is it nly for the guyz coz i dnt c any sisters posting...? It sounds kinda crazy bt..i'm still curious ;)

[Yanal]

Read the other comedy contest thread. No it's for all genders if it was for us, bros it would be in the brothers section. It's for fun and winner is King of Comedians, and gets reps from all members ( I think)

[Soulja Girl]

:sl:

Whens the deadline? :hmm:

:w:

[Ali.]

I'll be disabling account for short, but necessary amount of time. I'm informing you so you don't think I won't come back to judge!

[Re.TiReD]

^ Friday??

[Yanal]

A book without humour that is.

[Re.TiReD]

PK cant enter, she's a judge

Ali wen you coming back? You need to be back for the coming Friday.

[Whatsthepoint]

Only two entries so far?

[Ali.]

PK cant enter, she's a judge

Ali wen you coming back? You need to be back for the coming Friday.

Yep I'll be back by then or saturday insha'Allah.

[Whatsthepoint]

A book without humour that is.

Why don't you enter with another script? that way you'll have 2 in 3 chances of winning-

[Abu Ilyas]

^Good Idea, since there's no rule on the amount of entries per person :p

[Fishman]

:sl:
Does pretending to be a duck-obsessed weirdo that can't speak real English count as comedy? I think I may have some real 'gems' in that field... :rollseyes

:w:

Why don't you enter, you seem to have the wits for it. Some of your post are painfully funny, some less and some are weird (like the whole new roman empire thing, when are you gonna drop that?), but that's not the point, you're a funny fishman.

[Fishman]

:sl:

Some of your post are painfully funny

Yes, but they are all spammy one-liners and that sort of thing, rather than actual writing. Plus a lot of it (including the duck thing) is in the bros section. Apparently, 'whatever is posted in the brothers section stays in the brothers section', regardless of whether it is actually confidential or not.

some less

Most probably fits in that category.

and some are weird (like the whole new roman empire thing, when are you gonna drop that?)

Probably when I get a real life and stop spending my whole time either posting on LI (or other forums) or playing M2:TW.
:w:

[Whatsthepoint]

:w:

you only post 3,64 post per day.

[Fishman]

you only post 3,64 post per day.

:sl:
Yes, but I read other people's stuff a lot as well. Not much on this forum, but on other forums and Wikipedia. Plus I play Medieval 2. Other than occasionally leaving my house or doing chores, that is basically my life. And there is nothing I can do. :cry:

[Yanal]

:sl:
That won't be fair for the other members strugling for one script. I will leave that one for another time but where should I post it. It has crude humour that might embarass zAk and Abu Sayyad. So brothers you're lucky I'm on the bros section because you soon have another script coming from moi(me). Fishmans cool, leave him to be his way.
