SO YOU THINK YOU’RE FUNNY?

LAUGHENTRATION CAMP

We all love a good laugh, but did you know that the average laugh expends more calories than a 10 mile run and twenty times the calories of the average male orgasm?
At theMessage we’ve assembled some classic catchphrase gags and some mad capers with a man in a monkey costume and every week we serve them up with lashings of studio laughter in ‘Laughentration Camp’.

D.Y.K? When you laugh a chemical is released in your brain that travels via your central nervous system at incredibly high speed. As it reaches the surface it erupts very quickly, often as a snort but can be protracted into a series of yelps or in extreme cases a fit of the giggles.

There’s nothing like a classic catchphrase and everything with the word ‘Monkey’ in seems to be hilarious so we’ve mixed them both together and sprinkled in a dash of ‘canned audience’ to give you a massive belt on the funny bone in ‘Laughentration Camp’.

We’d love to see your idea of a funny sketch so why not show us? Ideally we’re looking for something funny to happen in less than 30 seconds. Record your submission on a camera phone or camcorder and send it in to us, we’ll put the best ones up on the website!!

If you can’t think of anything funny at all then why not send us covert footage of a really stilted meal with your partner or inlaws? The sort of occasion where the only break in the monotony of silence is the gentle scrape of cutlery and you long to clear your throat to create some kind of sound that might be construed as interaction. These will be more difficult to nail in a time limit but maybe you could send us a minute or so?

If meals aren’t your thing then why not transcribe your name and height into a Dictaphone and send it in to us?
We’ll put the best ones up on the website!!
