How do you deal with people like this?

[sparkogre]

There's this guy in one of my classes, that could totally be the center of attention all the time. Luckily for the rest of the male population, he chooses not to be an attention-whore. He's like the living embodiment of C&F. Like seriously, everything he says is hilarious. I can't AMOG him (none of this "joker" crap, he's WAAAAY good), and nobody else in the class can ever like say anything when he has the floor. I don't mean that in a "he's overbearing" kind of way, but in a "he's so damn funny that everybody's cracking the fuck up."


How do you deal with that?

Befriend him.

[Mandrake]

Hah Grape stole my thoughts. ..... Klepto.....

[sparkogre]

^{Befriend him.}

Already done. But how the fuck am I supposed to hold court with super-funny guy? He's NOT a clown. He's just hilarious.

I've had a similar problem. The best I could figure out was to give up sometimes.

When I'm not around him the fact that we're friends is a huge DHV and I can game really well.
When I am around him I forget gaming and just let him entertain me. There's no way I can amog that guy.

Come on, there has to be a way.

Brainstorming:

-AMOGing impossible, and I don't want to.
-Being funnier than him Not immediately applicable


I'm out of ideas. Help me.


EDIT: Seriously. There's got to be a way. I don't think BARACK OBAMA would have the spotlight taken from him because there was some really funny guy there, and I DONT mean that just because he's president; he just has that aura of charisma.

[Keysersoze]

frame control dude, frame control... ;D you give him chance to be funny but on your terms...

[nutrick]

"dude you're hilaroius, high five" and chuckle at his jokes and steal his fire by adding your own twist to it. and since you guys are friends, joke around with him like pals do.

[rlouisj7]

ya dude, i would befriend him and try to incorpetate his act with mine. or probably even better.. incorperate urself with his act. so now u guys can share the light and people can associate you with him which would make u look good.

[sparkogre]

^{so now u guys can share the light and people can associate you with him which would make u look good.}

Here's the crux of my question. I can play along with people like this just fine, and have myself be associated with him.

That's easy.

The hard part, is getting him to be associated with me.

Hang out with him outside of school. Meet his parents and his family. Befriend them. Become a FAMILY FRIEND.
That will deeply engrave you into his life since his family will likely ask him constantly how you're doing and invite you over for dinner and such.

Basically, don't just be his friend. Be his BEST friend.

kill him...

but yeah, it's already been said, befriend him, I just wanted to say, "kill him".

On second thought, it'd probably be better if you didn't.

And if he's your friend, you shouldn't AMOG your friend.

Humor is timing, with enough practice (everything, including being funny requires practice to get better!), you'll become calibrated to the point when you know what's funny, and you'll say it at the right time, it's much better to be extremely funny sparingly, than just regular funny all the time, if you catch my drift.

Here's something funny (and true):

Chuck Norris was one of the original members of the Wu-Tang clan, but he quit because they weren't street enough.

That's a good example of being funny ^^
Don't be random, just say slightly controversial things (in a funny tone) that people wouldn't expect you to say. Like the "kill him" thing.

But don't be like "Yo, I heard mad people are dying in darfur and shit. must suck to be them LOL" Don't be that controversial xD

I recently had an AMOG battle with a guy like this (just two days ago in fact), I couldn't beat him and so I befriended him (turns out he saw us as equals...so yay for me.) There are just some people you can't beat. Naturals like this are one of those people.

Well, he has huge value, if you befriend him your social network should expand exponentially. Oh and Barack Obama is unpwnable, nobody can AMOG him because he is THE AMOG.

EDIT: LOL at Senorbubbz's darfur thing i'm gonna use that tomorrow and watch the blank stares line up =D

Prepare to get slapped across the face by those political kids who feel very strongly about these subjects xD
Once I made a gay joke and this one girl like broke down in tears and started screaming "WHY DO YOU HATE GAYS? WHY? YOU HOMOPHOBE!! I HAAAATE YOU!!!"
Me and everyone else were just like... "huh? what?"
