In a stunning display of comedic ineptitude, a local child has been found to be exceptionally bad at improv during his playtime with friends. The seven year old child, whose name has been withheld to protect his identity, has been reported to consistently fail at the fundamental concept of “yes, and,” leaving his playmates frustrated and bored.
According to sources close to the child, he has a habit of blocking instead of engaging in the collaborative back-and-forth that defines good improv. “He always says things like, ‘No, I don’t want to go to the zoo’ or ‘I’m not a pirate,'” expressed a frustrated playmate. “It’s like, come on, we’re pretending here! Can’t you use your imagination and go along with it?!”

When pressed for a deeper explanation about his approach he responded by saying “My comedy is relational, it doesn’t need improv”.
Eight year old Classmate Emma replied with “Noah, you’re 7. You’ve only had human speech for 5 years, and object permanence for barely 6. You don’t have a body of life experience to even draw enough material from for a tight ten. You’re deluding yourself to think your material is original or relatable. I’m being extremely generous to say that at best your jokes are derivative. I’m tired now. Do you think they have any more chocolate milk left? I’m glad its almost nap time.”
Lol! nice work, you’re hired!
