Shtick You Use in Real Life (1 Viewer)

I started taking Karate classes with my 11 year old.  Which has been a lot of fun.  But my older daughter (14) thinks I look absolutely ridiculous in my gi.  So I dropped her off at basketball on the way to karate one day and as she got out I say "Wait, I'll walk you to the door."  She almost died.  "Dad....no!" 

I got halfway out of the truck.  I couldn't do it.  It would have been perfect too because I was still a white belt.  And like my younger daughter say "Let's face it dad, everybody is a white belt." 
This would be some brilliant schtick.  Just show up at places or run errands in the gi - add a Karate kid headband for full effect. Just act like everything is normal.

I used to pick my sister up from school with  mariachi blaring through the system. 

Apparently not a favorite of lily white middle school girls 

 
We are hosting about 20 people for an annual poker game this weekend.  I might have to wear the Gi.  That's some pretty good schtick.  That''s Michael Scott level schtick.

I work onsite at one of our production plants quite a bit.  Don’t have an official office but have been using a vacant one 

my wife was going to throw away this chicken decoration but I decided pin it to the wall

ill be getting booted from the office soon for a new employee but I plan to act like I have no idea about the chicken if I get questioned about it

 
Similar to the Hay one, but passing a Cemetery while driving in a car in a pretty excited voice

"people are dying to get in there"...

gets 'em every time..

Tell everyone your poker nickname is

POKER NINJA

make a name tag for yourself.  Rub your hands together like Mr. Myagi before picking up your cards each time. 

"You want to karate chop the pot?"

 
Lately I've been asking my wife to hold my keys as we're walking  somewhere, and then 30 seconds later, I ask for them back. No explanation, of course. 

 
I’ve been trying to convince my wife she’s going grey “down there”. She’s not and she doesn’t think it’s funny

 
In a new FF league this year.  It is a neighborhood league mostly of guys a few blocks over so I know like 2 people. I have been thinking of what shtick I can run on this league. All suggestions welcome.

You gotta say:

”Can’t believe that guy is still available. Great pick.”

Three or four times per round. Starting with round one.

Another one that’s good about round 3:

”Too bad about his hamstring pull.”

I actually use this one a lot and time it when the room is silent for a sec after a pick.... "he sucks."

Announce your pick, then follow up with a little known fact.

Drew Brees, QB, Saints.  Little known fact, during the off-season, Drew is the starting center for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants.  Little known fact, the word Saquon is Mandarin for “squirrel with no tail”

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers. LKF, lactose intolerant.

 
To become an instant hit at the draft, follow up every draft pick selection with "Dilly dilly!" and raise your beer.

Randomly yell out "Pit of misery!" for other picks.

 
Every time your pick comes up, hold off as long as possible. If you are on a clock, wait until 5 seconds are left. This is even better the later parts of the draft. 

 
Bring some sort of earpiece that you consult for every pick. Refer to imaginary person as "sweet cheeks" during pick discussions.
I was going to suggest tracking down one of those old football helmet land line phones like teams have on the table at the NFL Draft, and act as if your war room is calling in picks.  But your idea will be easier to execute, and nicknames like “Sweet Cheeks” elevate the shtick nicely.

If the earpiece gets stale, you can let the  "earpiece guy" know that you're interview is coming up. At that point, pretend like you're calling in to a TV show. Make sure to emphasize how much easier it is than you thought.

Oh ####.  I might volunteer to FaceTime people who want to be interviewed by the "press" during draft night.  

 
Thanks for the suggestions. I think i may actually may have an old land line somewhere. I also got the number 1 pick... i may not get invited back!!

I once brought a magazine that was 2 years old, I’d torn the cover off so owners couldn’t tell the year

once we got into the middle rounds owners started picking it up for reference 

one owner actually drafted Fred Lane, even though he’d died earlier that year(damn that was in 2000)
