Name Our Show!

Hey gang,

Elephant Larry is in the process of putting together our brand new show, which will premiere in April at The PIT (Uh-oh... Was that just a BLOGSCLUSIVE???). Along with the writin', and the filmin', and the rehearsin', we have to come up with a name for our show. That's where you guys come in!

We want YOU to come up with a name for our show. Now, we can't promise we'll actually use it, 'cause we're busy coming up with names ourselves. But if we do use your name for our show, here's what you'll win:

- An Elephant Larry t-shirt!
- Two tickets to the performance of your choice!
- Geoff will do a psychological profile of your maladjustive behavior!
- Stefan will make a logo for your maladjustive behavior profile!

So what goes in to making an Elephant Larry show title? The easiest thing to do is look at the titles we've already used. Generally, they don't have a lot to do with the show itself, although sometimes we'll theme something around a title. They're not particularly pun-esque, although sometimes that happens too. I guess, basically, there's no rules.

Good luck coming up with a name! You can post in the comments here, or e-mail us at info@elephantlarry.com. To give you a little taste/a starter name, here's my favorite show name we've come up with, that we're also definitely not going to use:

Desperate Housedudes

Update! I'm bumpin' this up, cause we still haven't decided on a title. You got this week and that's it, people, so keep 'em coming!

PS That doesn't necessarily mean we've thrown out your previous ideas, we just haven't settled on anything yet... Keep up the good work, people.

comedy is when one person makes another laugh. pretty much everyone's first experience with comedy is when as a baby they're tickled. after awhile this gets tiresome. the baby becomes (with apologies to chris) Sckeptickle. this becomes a primary behavior as the child grows and quickly learns that what once made him laugh doesn't always continue to make him laugh. this generalizes into the realization that life is forever setting up disappointment.

SCKEPTICKLE should be the name of the next show as a recognition of the threatening force that all comedians must face. the force which makes each member of the audience enter with the attitude: "I don't think this show is going to make me laugh. Yes they've made me laugh before but so what. My parents tickling me use to make me laugh too."

(as i am anonymous whatever rewards i am due can go to charity. or then again I'll take it if i can receive my reward with a paper bag over my head. okay?)

OK, I'm feeling really bad about going too far there. Feel free to delete that last post. I got caught up in the anti-Family Guy sentiment and in my pandering lost it. Which brings up the eternal question of "how far is too far?" Sort of the "What is pornography?" question. I guess the Golden Rule is a good measure and I would not find it one bit humorous to have some internet punk making fun of 9/11 if I had a close personal brush with 9/11 as Mr. MacFarlanE did. Sorry for the downer note...I just got carried away.
