It Writes ItselfYou may have heard me say that one of the best parts about writing a decade's worth of jokes is that I don't remember all of them. So, when I watch RvB episodes, I will often hear jokes that I have long since forgotten. However, since I wrote them I think they're fucking hilarious. It's a very strange deal. I wonder if other writers have that same issue. Anyway, today I watched a scene from Season 7 and I laughed hysterically at it. Seems extra funny since my character can't remember anything in the scene. Write what you know, kids.

I've done quite a few Let's Plays and Podcasts, when i hear old ones i dont remember, I laugh hysterically at my own jokes as well. It's an awesome feeling tbh :P

If most people remembered as much as they wrote, most of their material wouldn't be fresh or new.

When you are writing season 30 of Red vs Blue, hopefully you can still come up with jokes like the Simpsons writers still can some how

Well that's because the writers now aren't the same writers from season 1 or even season 16, they tend to get fans of the show in. If it was the same writers, Conan O'Brian, Burnie's favourite late night host, would still be writing it.
That's probably why Burnie brought in E...

I just got a coworker into RvB, and it's great to watch someone new talk about how much they love all the old stuff! Boy is she going to be surprised what is up Burnie Burns' sleeves in the seasons to come!

Now, I wish I could be like that... I get so over-analytical when I look back at stuff I have done in the past :/
May need to take a leaf out of your book Burnie

I have a feeling they either laugh at their own jokes, or hate them.

I don't write, but I would fall into the second camp, I tend to be to critical of myself. Especially when it comes to my martial arts.

Though you don't have to worry to much, your jokes are pretty good :)

Very appropriate.
Maybe this was all a ploy to make stuff to make you laugh when you're old(er).

I'm no writer, but I forget some of my jokes as well...I'll go back and read some of my journal entries and Staff War posts and giggle like a nut.

I think you can safely say that it's not a phenomenon only you experience Burnie, happens to me all the time. I go back and read scripts and book ideas I wrote years ago and laugh at my jokes for the rest of the day...Too bad no-one else thinks they're funny!

Just don't repeat any of your old jokes too often or Monty will probably haunt you relentlessly to nag about when and where you've told them before.

Well, in your defense, Burnie, that scene is really funny.

I know when I go back and watch some of the old videos I've made I laugh a lot. Sometimes we forget just how funny we think we are, or thought we were, or actually were. I don't know which, but I know what you mean.

I listened to the 18th LFTO shizno and remembered that I had forgotten my joke about Omega being asked for his name and saying "I WILL MURDER ALL OF YOU" and Gary saying his name is Bob.

I guess it happens all the time...

I tend to experience the opposite. I look back at the jokes I've written and I think they're terrible. That may just mean I'm a bad writer, but it does inspire me to get better.
