This better be absurdist.

Nope. Just bad trollfic and a "punchline" I don't get. Instructions literally in the last line for a hidden message.

NERDIGOTYOU

*sigh*

I hope someone is having fun out there when they read that.

but did you see it

like did you see it

did you see it tho :v

I didn't find this story funny, at least in the way that it was trying to be. I've never really taken to "lolrandomXD" style humor. I like ridiculous, but not random.

Random jokes tend not to tie into anything else in the story, and end up being distracting for me. Take something like this, for example:

Today's the day. The stadium is packed, and vendors are selling everything from penuts to porcupines. Why would you buy animals here? Has everyone gone crazy?

The fact that animals are being sold here does not have to do with anything else in the story. It's random for the sake of random, sort of riding on shock value and not much else. Added to that that the narrator comments on how crazy that is [Why would you buy animals here? Has everyone gone crazy?] when it's already shown to be crazy just kind of runs the joke into the ground.

I think the comedy could use some work, here. I was expecting it to end in a pun or something, but the end is that first letter thing, which isn't really new, and what it spells out doesn't really tie into the story either.

But this is good to do if you're doing comedy: telling jokes until they're funny. Keep practicing, author, and if you want to do random stuff, go for it, but my advice is to cut back on random and try another form of comedy :>

I did laugh when I read, "Nerd, I got you!" Other than that, this reads like the product of too much alcohol.

Sorry, that's a no-go, author. The first paragraph is actually what threw me; it doesn't make sense. How is 4034 larger than 4969? Combined with copious spelling mistakes and the pure randomness of the content, it just falls flat.

Nerd I got you Rude tbh

Man, I spent a few minutes contemplating making a review that read 'hahadumbass' up the side, but I just can't be bothered.

Part of that 'I don't care', I think, comes from the fact that this doesn't do much more than its gimmick, which I've seen before, in a rather snappier format. Sure, it got a grin out of me in the end, and in a few other places; the absurdism was fun in and of itself. But I wish it did more than that, and most of the pure nonsense in here doesn't feel like it's useful or interesting enough.

Still, it did get a smile out of me, so that's definitely worth something.

No thank you, the first commenter can solve that one for me.

Why would you do this?

What should I have
Expected of such a story?
Laughing out so
Loud my neighbour’d complain?

Definitely I agree with the
Others. It reads as pure
Nonsense. Nothing
Extraordinary but thanks for the smile.
