Today, my son invited me to his first standup comedy gig. I accepted, only to later suffer through an hour of the worst jokes I've heard in my entire life. It was so bad, he made Dane Cook look like a comic genius, and I had to resist heckling him. Hours later, I still feel vaguely suicidal. FML

Too challenging for you? That's my job! I'm an edgy comedian!

Today, I was feeling down so my husband took me to a comedy show. This comedian saw me, heckled me for a full two minutes, then returned to me a further three times during his act to mock me again, zeroing in on every one of my insecurities until I left crying, feeling worse than ever. FML

Today, at an open mic comedy club, my jokes went down so poorly that someone decided to hurl a chair at me on-stage. FML

Today, my brother came to my first standup comedy act. He'd apparently read my material beforehand, and kept finishing my jokes for me. FML

Today, I did my first night of open-mic standup. The first 5 minutes went badly, but I don't know if it got any better afterwards, because a drunk audience member climbed up on stage and knocked me out. FML

Today, I went to a comedy show, expecting to feel better about a difficult relationship. Instead, I saw a performance written by the girl who loves my husband, about my husband, and how she loves him. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to sing at an open mic night. I lost my cool halfway through because all I could hear was laughter. FML

Today, I decided to put my friend through the ultimate test of maturity: watching an episode of My 600-lb Life. He didn't even go ten minutes before he started making jokes. I didn't go much longer before I started laughing at them. FML

Today, at work, I was told I was a failure. Feeling like crap, I went to my best friend to see if he could make me laugh. He told me that he felt obligated to hang out with me, so he thought that we shouldn't anymore. FML

Today, I went to a comedy show with my mom, and they asked the audience members to yell out their problems as ideas for an improv skit. My mom yelled, "My daughter can't get a boyfriend!" FML

Today, my friends and I were feeling nostalgic and decided to listen to some of Dane Cook's old stuff. We got to "The Friend Nobody Likes" and I commented that I'm glad we don't have a person like that in our group. This was followed by a very awkward silence, and someone suggesting we listen to something else. FML

You should be supportive of your son no matter how bad his actions are. Confidence is key.

Sounds like you're an asshole, and your suicide joke doesn't make you look like a comic genius either.

You sound like kind of a dick. Be proud he had the balls to stand up there for an hour, I'm sure it's not that easy. At least he's following his heart. Don't let him in on what you really thought of it. It's a little disturbing you had the urge to heckle him.

This sounds like you both have different idea's about what's considered funny. I doubt if he was really THAT bad he would have been allowed to remain on stage for the entire hour. Even if you found it terrible, don't give him advice on his act unless he asks for it. (yeah I know pretty hypocritical since I just gave unwarranted advice)

Your attempt at humor regarding suicide will earn you no laughs or plaudits of your comic ingenuity. Your attitude toward your family is something I disapprove of. Have a wonderful day sir.
