FIRST Comedy hour
So this year's game was recycle rush... and we were told their would be change... The only change was that the GDC took one of FIRST's worst games, and somehow made it worse...
I think the GDC must love lunacy, because Recycle Rush took its place from being the worst game ever. Please add any jokes that you find funny in the FIRST community. :cool: |
Re: FIRST Comedy hour
I was thinking of something different when I came into this thread but it turned out to be just more unwarranted hate about the game. Shame.
I feel sorry that you are unhappy with the choices made by the GDC regarding this year but if you are looking for sympathy here than you are wrong. Chief is not a place to promote simple minded discontent toward the FIRST community. If you'd like to make a more sophisticated argument regarding the issues of Recycle Rush as well as the implications of the GDC's choice than feel free, else please keep it to yourself. |

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
There have been many, many threads discussing the merits of Recycle Rush and whether or not it was an "interesting" game. Let's not turn this into another one.
The intent of this thread is to serve as a place for people to share FIRST-related jokes. (Maybe the first shouldn't have been about Recycle Rush... but again, a different conversation.) Let's try to get this thread back on track. |

Even the X robots drive into a bar joke is funnier than the supposed joke used to start this thread. Or to put it another way: If someone has to read your "joke" multiple times and it's still not obvious you're telling a joke after that, there's a good chance that they'll think you're serious. That's probably what triggered this. Mods, I think this thread may need to be closed for a while, and maybe someone can try again with a different opening? |

And why even say "Mods, I think this thread needs to be closed..."... If you don't like it, then why even click it? Anyhow, due to popular request, I guess, a new FIRST joke... I barley passed my Programing class... I got C++. I only passed because i had some Java in my system. |
Re: FIRST Comedy hour
This thread is already just completely ruined with people arguing over recycle rush.... in may. I'm calling a flame thread if I've ever seen one, which is a shame because this could have been a funny thread, but nope, got to argue about recycle rush instead.

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
How do you kill a joke?
Bring up a touchy subject.... |
Re: FIRST Comedy hour
Be in FIRST long enough and pretty much every game is hated in one way or another. Nowadays all the hate is pretty meaningless to me. You don't know how good a game is till you have seen worse.
Onto more jokes! (and more tasteful hopefully) |
Re: FIRST Comedy hour
Am I crazy for thinking it's wrong for people to say this is a bad game, and act as if them saying it just makes it a universal fact? I'm fine with everyone having an opinion. I get that, but some of us actually liked this game. Both as a driver and a spectator.
Also just needed to add in on an unrelated/related note. Every year I've been in FRC, the first couple weeks after the game has been released, everyone on CD seems to act as if the sky is falling with how terrible they think it is. We sure to know how to complain... Just a thought. :) |

Putting on my English teacher hat: I *believe* (but am not sure) that the the OP intended to come across as sarcastic, perhaps even satirical. But it's important to remember that sarcasm is difficult to convey in the written language and is rarely taken humorously. It's usually intended to be funny but instead received as insulting. Just because you SAY something is a joke, doesn't mean that it is funny. In other words: Comedy is for the comedian to design but the audience to judge. |

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
come on guys its a joke thread! I'm sure we can list 5 jokes that aren't Jackie Ch... err Recycle Rush. Here, I'll start!
1,) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpSgUrsghv4 2,) Half Life Water Game Confirmed. 3,) Recycle R... ... ... @#^&$! This is harder than I thought. |
Re: FIRST Comedy hour

When writing satire, expect that people will be outraged by your assertion. Don't get defensive and declare, "It was just a joke!" You made people uncomfortable with your attempt at comedy. TBH, I didn't find it funny. Maybe others did, and that's fine. People find different things humorous. But maybe it also wasn't the best joke to *start* with. Your other one about programming was a better introduction. The other thing about comedy is respecting timing. |

Can we make a complete 360 of this thread. Just someone start off with some good joke.

this thread is more confusing than a rookie who is trying to find pneumatic fluid.

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
This was the most intense comedy hour. Ever.
|
Re: FIRST Comedy hour
here to start a-new
a few jokes: 1. how do you get a majority of people complaining about a game, call it recycle rush. how do you get a majority of people feeling like their voices aren't being heard. declare two championships. 2. what the only thing worse then lunacy, recycle rush. I could go all day...... a joke is a joke doesn't matter if someone else doesn't find it funny. its a joke if you find it funny. these crack me up. |

Here's the thing about jokes and audience: If the joke isn't appropriate for the audience it's told to, they won't find it funny, and then you won't be telling that joke there anymore. (Might not be telling any other jokes there, either.) Even if you find a joke uproariously funny, your audience might find it to be a mortal insult. I'm serious here; I can think of a couple of joke/audience combinations that could result in my getting seriously hurt. Although, I must say, there is one joke where you don't have to worry about the audience's reaction. Too bad nobody knows what The World's Funniest Joke is, something about anybody seeing more than one word getting very seriously hurt. |

Apprently obligatory thoughts about natue of comedy: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." -Mel Brooks Comedy is subjective. In fact most of the Internet is just people posting stuff they find hilarious only to discover that few people agree with their assessment. |

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
For all of you getting up in arms about the jokes made about this game... IMO i hated this game. I did not enjoy it to any extent. With this, I found this thread humorous. If you don't enjoy this thread, please, by all means, go elsewhere. I found a thread not 2 weeks ago that were talking about the good things that came out of this year's game. If you have something nice to say about recycle rush, bring it there. Don't try to defend it here.
And with that I say... How do you incorporate FTC more into FRC? You design the game to be more like FTC |

Why do they call it hyper text? Too much JAVA. |

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
No. First started in 1989 and didn't decide on 2 champs until 2017. even if the rate doubles, the earliest that we would have 2+ champs would be 2031... This still doesn't reassure me....

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
Biggest joking in FRC: People expecting rules to stay the same each year.
Also: I've heard nothing is better than FRC and that something is better than nothing. Thus, something is better than FRC?! *If you follow, or are on, 365, you may have seen me say this to your team already* |

If we keep doubling the number of championship events every 24 years, it'll only take 240 years until there are over 4,000 world champion robots. This may quickly become a problem, as there will soon be more world champion robot spots than teams. The exponential rate of increase of championships is at an all time high, and is currently higher than the growth rate of humans, high schools, FRC teams, and places that can host FRC championships. In 770 years, FRC championships will most likely outnumber human beings on earth, which will cause terrible overcrowding. This xkcd comic is applicable: ![]() |

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
The year is 7943...
There is now such an immense amount of FRC championships that they are considered an annoyance. Medals are used for counter weights. Trophies are melted down for raw materials. Dean Kamen uploaded his intelligence onto a supercomputer and his consciousnesses now controls swarms of drones with cameras to watch all the matches at once. We must go back to the past, to prevent what terrors are to come... |

Re: FIRST Comedy hour
Joke #1:
Did you know R2-D2 had the most foul mouth of all robots in Star Wars? They had to bleep out every word! Joke #2: (blatantly stolen from Dilbert) ![]() Joke #3: ![]() Joke #4: (blatantly turned into a dumb robot joke) A ventriloquist doing a nightclub gig with his dummy on his knee tells a dumb robot joke; a beverage service robot stops and shouts at the ventriloquist. “What gives you the right to stereotype artificial intelligence that way? You should be ashamed of yourself”. Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to stammer an apology. “You keep out of this, buster!” it yells, “I’m talking to the little idiot on your knee.” Joke #5: A robotics team mentor and his wife came for counselling after 15 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 15 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage. Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the mentor and said, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The mentor thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but this is FRC BUILD SEASON, I can't leave the shop on Fridays." -MM |
