"Ligma jokes aaaare almost always bad. It's kind of an art form in my opinion. There are a lot of ligma jokes people do where they 'get' someone, but that's not getting someone. Getting someone is: Having a conversation with Mark about Good Time Dragon for three hours and pretending it's a videogame until someone bites, and asks 'what's Good Time Dragon?'. That is a FUCKING awesome joke. Yo- you- you can't BELIEVE- If that happens to you- like- 'ALL i did was try and be interested in what my friends were talking about and i got- i got BUTTFUCKED for it.' That is the only good- like- like- people will- people will [indecipherable] easy wins, but there is no good win unless you fucking earn it. [...] I had a ligma joke in the works. It was extremely meta. I didn't wanna tell you guys because [pause] Vesting Barbecue was my [pause] he was basically The Victim. I've been working on it for a really long time, but i give up now. I can see that Vesting Barbecue has been gotten by me so many times [pause] that i'll PROBABLY never get him again. He doesn't engage anymore. It's like- it's like practicing a really good game. And you learn everything NOT to do as you gain more and more experience. that's what makes you a pro. I have turned Vesting into a pro. He will never be tricked AGAIN, unless you have a loooooot of context where like [pause] You're a new frieeend, you're nothing but nice to them like, that's- that's the only way you get 'em. Like, the days of me getting Vesting with ligma joke are long fucking gone. There's nothing i can do, it'll never happen again. But i WILL explain to you the joke concept because it's FUCKING [pause] genius. And you guys are gonna hear it and be like 'HOLY SHIT i can't believe no one's ever thought of this'. You have to be in a voice call with multiple people, someone has to say something [pause] that is unusual word, you have to pretend laugh you have to go 'AHAHAHA', and then you have to be like 'Vesting you ever hear that ligma joke?', and he's supposed to go 'Which one?'. He says 'Which one?', you're fucking IN. Because your answer is 'LIGMA BALLS!'. And you bring it all the way back to the very basic form [pause] of ligma. But- it's so meta, it's so fucking great. I wa- i- i've been trying to get Vesting with it for like, a month. I have been able to get, like, FIVE other people. FIVE OTHER PEOPLE in the span of me trying to get Vesting, have asked me 'Which one?', and i DIDN'T TAKE IT, because they were not the intended target. THAT is how you have a good ligma joke. THAT is how you actually are satisfied with the result of the fucking words you say. There's nothing funny about [pause] getting someone with a Joe Mama. That's not funny. There's nothing good- there's no poise. You gotta earn it if you wanna feel good about 'em, in my opinion." -Simpleflips on ligma jokes
