Seven New Dads Going for the Laugh…and Bombing
at
Every guy thinks he’s hysterical. But can he prove it when he comes up against his toughest audience, his newborn baby? Here’s some new dads doing their signature bits and bombing. Not only are they not getting laughs, they’re getting moments of pure sadness. Not So Happy Father’s Day!
1. Maybe a funny laugh of your own will get a laugh. Nope, sorry. Your audience of one hates you. Get off the stage.
2. Here’s a new take on the ol’ Peek-a-Boo gimmick – a standard in the infant comedy world. Let’s make it scarier and see what happens. No laughs, just sobs.
3. This new dad is the human sound effects machine. Unfortunately, the only effect he’s having on his kid is making him cry. Real funny dad. It’s like having to grow up with Michael Winslow from Police Academy.
4. When it comes to entertaining this newborn, mom is killing it. She’s got the crowd warmed up. Now let’s welcome your headliner, Dad. “Yay”? More like “Boo”!
5. This new dad has a great opener. What kid isn’t going to giggle after hearing the word “Boobies”? It’s his closer, the fake cry, that really needs some work.
6. Babies will laugh for hours at characters. Elmo, Big Bird and Barney all get smiles. Let’s see how “What’d You Say!?” Guy does. The reviews are in. He bombed.
7. The Chewbacca impression may kill with the Star Wars geeks down at work, dad. But you need to bring some A+ material to get a laugh at home.
