Shtick You Use in Real Life (1 Viewer)

This is fantastic.
My old bachelor pad roommate runs his work league.  They do their draft in a conference room at the office, usually take a short break a few rounds in when the food is delivered.  He suggested Skype-ing me in to hand out draft grades as break entertainment.

 
After cutting a Snapchat I will often say, "thanks for watching, please hit the like and subscribe buttons on the bottom to help support the channel.

 
At my work draft last year I told them they were making it too easy and called my wife for my 6th round pick just to give them a bit of an advantage.  She picked Watson and the first quarter of the year she looked like Nostradamus.

I could do something like this except my 6th round pick would probably be Chris Pratt.

 
Whenever I have to repeat myself multiple times because someone can't hear or understand me... about the third or fourth time I yell "THE BLESSING!" a la Christmas Vacation when they're trying to get Aunt Bethany to say grace.

When drinking with my neighbor, I routinely change the temperature of his garage fridge. 
do this at house parties but to the house thermostat

your buddy will be too drunk to realize it until morning when his house is bumping along at 58 degrees in the winter... or, in summer, at 88

I’ll turn the heat way up, and move the drivers seat all the way forward, when my brother leaves his car unlocked at my parents house

We had a secretary who would always leave her sunroof aboot halfway open overnight. We ended up filing her car with packing peanuts. She drove to work the next day with them in it still.

Thankful for the "Anti-Tomfoolery" mode on my Ecobee4's.  I know I have buddies who have tried this.

 
Yes :lmao:

Have done that here in the valley, in the summer, with a house full of people. Leave and turn it up to 90 
Did this to my roommate in college. We both worked nights for campus security, alternating nights. It was November in OH so it was pretty cold. When I left the room at midnight and turned off the lights I cranked our thermostat to 90 or whatever the max was. I came back at 3 and when I opened the door it was like opening an oven door. I could see my roommate from the hallway light and he had kicked all the covers off and he’s sweating like a pig. I then cracked the windows and turned the heat off. Came back at six and he’s curled into a little ball shivering. I close the windows and he wakes up to get ready for classes. I said, “how you doing?” He proceeds to tell me it was a miserable night and he might be sick. I never told him until the following year. 

Good Schtick!

Just this past Saturday we were at my wife's family reunion. This year's historic came around asking for someone to say 'Grace'.  The fit I was sitting next too, my wife's cousin father , who was one of the older generation, said "I don't know who Grace is", I just looked at my wife and said, "she died 30 years ago"

My wife almost fell off her chair laughing.  

He is not in the best of health and probably has never seen Xmas Vacation, but this is something my wife and I do a lot when someone asks that question.  

 
When the Alexa or Google home say something wrong, glare at it like a dumb person. It really humanizes the technology!

Also, any time my wife or I hear "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins we break out into the "gopher dance"

We are both #######s

If it is raining and somebody asks me what it’s like outside, I always tell them I don’t think the heavy stuff will come down for quite some time.

 
When at someone else’s house, if I use the bathroom I will fold the end of the TP roll into a triangle like hotel maids do.  

 
My youngest is obsessed with this show larva on Netflix.  Told my wife he wanted to be one of them for Halloween.  She asked what their names were to look up costumes and my older one told her Peanut and Joey.  She was scouring the internet for Peanut and Joey costumes and after awhile figured out their names are just Red and Yellow...little bugger made the names up

By the way this doesn’t seem that funny or anything but you will be amazed about how much it is talked about. Especially at a party, where it becomes a big mystery.

I thought one of my buddies wife did this but apparently it’s their housekeeper that does it

 
This one played out last night:

KanilJr (7yo): Dad, who is the best player on the Rockies?

Me: It would be me if I was still playing for them.

KanilJr: You played for the Rockies?

Me: Yeah, I decided to stop playing when you were born.  I didn't want to be away from you for half the year.  Took a job in IT instead so I could spend time with you.

KanilJr: Really?

Me: Yup

KanilJr: *Looks skeptical and runs into the next room*  Mom, can you ask Google if dad ever played for the Rockies?
My son handed me this piece of fancy chocolate and I told him it was ok but not as good as the chocolate when I lived in Switzerland. He says "yeah I've heard Switzerland has...wait what?"

If I get hold of someone's car I'll tune the radio to the Spanish music station and crank the volume to 11 just before turning the car off and returning the keys.

my 7 year old loved this show until about 6 months ago

i do not understand the appeal at all

My 4yo is nuts about this show.  I had to shut it down.  She would zone out for hours watching it without stopping if we let her.

For the first month she kept crying and asking me to put on "yellow and red."  I initially had no idea what that meant.

 
Whenever we pass a sign with "Jesus" in it...  Jesus Saves, Church of Jesus Christ, Jesus Bail Bonds, etc...  I'll say just loud enough for my wife to hear, "Jesus..."  like somethings wrong or I'm pissed off.  At this point she's concerned for a brief second and then knows to just look for the sign.

I constantly ask Alexa questions, but mispronounce her name (Alondra, Alexis, Andrea, etc.) and then get mad when she doesn't answer.  My kids used to correct me, now they just join in.  C'mon Alondra!,, Tell dad the temperature outside.

 
Whoever said to the end customer service calls with “I love you” is an evil genius. I can’t stop doing this. The awkward silence is just so satisfying.

I’ve now started replacing “goodbye” and “have a great day” with “I love you” to store employees, courtesy clerks and just about anybody that I hope to never see again.

I was out visiting my parents, sister and brother this past week(Spokane, WA jeebus it was hot) and my sister reminded me of the game we used to play years ago.  'The beep and wave' was something my dad did when we were growing up.  When driving by some people, beep the horn and everyone smile and wave.  The half hearted wave and confused smiles are hilarious.

In middle school we came up with a shtick where we'd walk up next to other dudes and just  start holding their hand. Always good.

 
When I see big crowds at Disney (all the folks wearing the matching shirts) and they’re waving to try and get one of their group’s attention near me, I usually wave back. They seem quite happy.

People don’t seem to understand how 4 way stops work.  I’m considering making a small poster to hold up when I get cut off for the 1,000th time that says ROW
