You have more than a few inside jokes, you tend to LOL at your own wisecracks, and you make jokes at inappropriate times. No one can tell when you’re being serious, because most of the time, you’re in sarcasm mode. Your “Watch It Again” category on Netflix includes Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, and the latest Aziz Ansari stand up. Your favorite (and most played) album on Spotify is by Flight of the Concords. Face it, you are the Chandler Bing of your friend group. But it isn’t always easy being the “funny one.”
When you’re expected to be hilarious all the time, you start to feel the pressure. From family gatherings to work happy hours to dinner with friends, there is always someone looking to you for the punchline. You’re expected to show up to every get together with an arsenal of one-liners, “your momma” jokes, and anecdotes that start with “A man walked into a bar.” People presume that you can be funny at the drop of a hat, but sometimes comedians run out of jokes, and even clowns get the blues.
