Now wait just a second! You can put down your torches and pitchforks, 'cause this club has been approved by PsiUmbreon!
Everyone likes to laugh. Don't deny it. As such, I felt compelled to give this a try. You can probably tell by the title that we'll be talking about comedy here. No matter what it is or how it's presented, pretty much anything is possible discussion material as long as it's funny. This includes the obvious stuff like movies, TV shows, and standup, but also things like websites or even anecdotes from your daily life, if appropriate. Think of it as a celebration of humor in general.
There will be "official" discussion topics similar to those in other clubs, and I'm thinking they'll mostly focus on the different genres of comedy (with a few games thrown in, perhaps,) but don't feel like you're confined to just those. If you have something else you'd like to contribute, like recommending something you find really funny to the rest of us, then go for it! Humor is supposed to lighten the mood, and I'd prefer this club to have as casual and laid-back an atmosphere as possible; you know, somewhere you can check in on if you're having a bad day.
So how do you join? Just make a post here answering the first topic and you're in!
Some ground rules. Read 'em or else:
1) All general forum rules still apply here, obviously.
2) Try not to stray too far off on a tangent. I'll be pretty lenient about this, as the subject of comedy spans so much possible material, and who am I to say where the limits are? Just try to use some common sense and don't post anything glaringly out of place. No one wants to hear you flipping out emo-style about how much you hate your parents or whatever.
3) Let's try to keep the content from getting too obscene, okay? I know that a lot of the best stuff is for the adults, but kids come to this site too, you know. All I'm asking is that you don't try to pull something like an in-depth quoting of "The Aristocrats." Also, be careful about things like race and sexual orientation. Poking a little fun is okay, but anything clearly meant to be offensive won't be tolerated. Sometimes this can be a thin line, but I trust you guys to use your best judgement here.
4) Don't go around picking fights or otherwise starting trouble. Again, it's common sense, really. Brazen hostility really kills the mood, you know?
If things start getting out of hand, I'll let you know either by posting in this thread or by PM (depending on how I see fit.) It will be your one warning. At this point you can either shape up or be kicked out of the club, and if you've been acting really douchely, I may invoke a mod to strike you blind with a ban or something. Really though, use your head and you should be fine.

First Topic: What types of comedy do you like most?
Remember, it can be anything that makes you laugh! As for me, I really like sketch comedy, and most of my favorite shows have belonged to this category. I'm also quite partial to random humor. As such, my favorite stuff happens to be where these two ideas intersect. I simply love off-the-wall sketch shows like Monty Python's Flying Circus and it's numerous offspring; the best of all being Mr. Show with Bob and David (perhaps you've heard me ranting about it elsewhere?)
Another thing I'm quite partial to is any time sophistication is added to lowbrow humor. Putting a clever spin on a subject normally considered taboo and reserved for gross-out humor will always draw appreciation from me. Oh, and I like parodies too. I think that's it for now...
And there you go! Not too hard, right? Of course, your reply doesn't have to be as long as this. If you're ready to join up and have some fun, then have at it! ;D
