JOHN MULANEY STARTER PROMPTS
Kid Gorgeous Edition.
“He was a man most acquainted with misery.”
“None of that matters, but it's important to me that you know that.”
“He did not look like his job description.”
“He looked like he should be the conductor on a locomotive powered by confetti.”
“But, instead, he made his living in murder.”
“He was the weirdest goddamn person I ever saw in my entire life.”
“He could look at a child and guess the price of their coffin.”
“Shut up! You're all gonna die. Street Smarts!"”
“You remember the scourge of muggings when you were in second and third grade.”
"Man, I need cash for drugs right now.”
“Okay, you can get these at any haberdashery.”
“Buy a money clip. Engraved, question mark?”
“Hey, Dad. Can I have a silver money clip with a $50 bill in it, please?” (Or sub “dad” for character name, if you’re a coward)
“The man with the mustache told me to do it.”
“Let's say a kidnapper throws you in the back of a trunk.”
“You kids have no upper body strength.”
“Yeah, he was not a "spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" kind of guy.”
“Brush your teeth. Now, boom, orange juice. That's life.”
“Fight the guy off using weird, psych-out, back-room Chicago violence.”
“I chewed up a tab of Alka-Seltzer I carry with me at all times. This created a foaming-at-the-mouth appearance that made it look like I had rabies.”
“Now I've thrown him off his rhythm.”
“Okay. Your odds of coming back alive from the primary location, about 60%. But if you are taken to a secondary location, your odds of coming back alive are slim to none.”
“I am 35 years old and I am still terrified of secondary locations.”
“Nah, sister. You're not getting me to no secondary location.”
“I thought I was going to be murdered my entire childhood.”
“Top three colleges? I thought I would be dead in a trunk with my hand hanging out of the taillight by now.”
“I just got a letter from my college, which was fun 'cause mail, you know?”
“So then I had to speed to Goodwill really fast.”
“It was charitable, but it was also fast and violent.”
“I was throwing boxes at people. The boxes were so heavy I couldn't even say what was in them.”
“This one's shirts. I got a bunch of shirts! Take 'em away!"
“How do I write that on my taxes?”
“My mom said it could be a sleep shirt. Please deduct this from my 2017 income.”
“So rather than violate these meaningless politeness rules, I'll just go to bed in a smock like goddamn Ebenezer Scrooge.”
“I'll tremble off to bed in my long Victorian nightgown.”
“Was there ever even a ghost, Mother, or was the dead Victorian girl you saw just me all along?”
“And that's why you shouldn't give to charity.”
“I found out recently that jokes don't do well in court.”
"Hey, that lawsuit with my neighbor is still dragging on.”
“Hey, do you want me to kill that guy for you? Because it sounds like he sucks and I will totally kill that guy for you.”
“Okay. See you at improv practice.”
“Strange, the passage of time.”
“I'm not that old. I'm 35, that is not old.”
“I never knew about this, but I am now gross.”

Matt(about their dog):...Oh, what if we got like, a Biblical painting done with Petunia in it?
Foggy: Oh, that would be so cute. We should do like "The Last Supper."
Matt: Oh my God, that would be SO cute! We should do all different French bulldogs as the different apostles...
Foggy: Oh, and we should have Petunia in the middle where Jesus is, in front of the turkey...!
Matt:.....Wait, what did you just say?...Did you say "the turkey"?
Foggy: Yeah, why?
Matt: Would you just answer me one question...do you think that in Da Vinci's "The Last Supper", that Jesus, of Nazareth, is sitting in front of a TURKEY?
Foggy:...Yes, I do.
Matt: Thank you for your honesty. Just one more follow-up question - so then, what do you think they're celebrating?
Foggy: OK, I get it. I don't get this shit cuz I wasn't raised Catholic, and I'm fucking glad I wasn't cuz it's a fucked - up organization -
Matt: - Oh no, no, no...we ALL know that!...But what do you think those guys are celebrating?
Foggy(looks at the floor, then looks at Matt):...Thanksgiving.

Comedian!Adrien
Adrien: I was in America recently doing white people stuff, and one day…well it doesn’t matter why, but I was sitting in a gazebo
Adrien: There was a plaque on the gazebo and it said “this gazebo was built by the town in 1863.” That is in the middle of the American Civil War.
Adrien: And they built. A gazebo.
Adrien: How did that town meeting work? They were like, “Alright everyone, first order of business, we have all the telegrams from Gettysburg with the war deaths, let’s see here, okay, everyone’s husband and brother, and…everyone died. Okay. Josiah, you had something?“
Adrien: "Yes I do! How’d you like to be indoors and out-of-doors all at once! Ever walk into the park with your betrothed and it starts to rain but you still wanna hold hands? Well then, may I introduce you to–and my condolences again to everyone–the gazebo!!!”
Adrien: Building a gazebo during the American Civil War would be like doing stand-up comedy now.
