    Comics are some of the most cunning people out there. Serves ’em right for discussing their plans right in front of the guy.

      I have a rule.

      Don’t piss off people who talk for a living.

      It rarely ends well.

    Go, Embraisch’Nj. Stick it to ’em. And when you’re done…

    …run very, very fast.

            Just like most comedians, his bark is just as bad as his biting satire.

    For some reason I think maybe this comedian will be executed or suffer for his jokes….

      I don’t know about that. His jokes about the non-humans were comparing them to dirt, while his jokes about the humans were about how big their brains were. It might be either a thin layer of insult wrapped around a suck-up or a set-up for some harsher stuff later, but given the admiral’s previous “Truth to power” comment this looks like it’ll be the first.

      It’s a chance for the humans to show how accepting of other races they are (they invited a non-human, after all, and he threw his jokes at everyone equally even if the contents weren’t equivalent) and put down the non-humans simultaneously. Eating their cake and having it, both.

      I’m thinking maybe he could become a new team member? They’re one bard short right now, after all. And I rather like him, so I’m hoping he’ll stick around.

      Draw distance had to be reduced due to server lag. Eye sprites were a direct cause.
      Should be fixed in the next expansion pack.

    First rule of comedy is to know your audience (second rule is to use your own material, third is to be funny), so I’m waiting for him to turn this all around and bite the Admiral in the ass, entertaining everyone else.

    Hey, no need to leaf so soon. Ardaic DID say there’d be a bunch of personal insults slung around, and Embraisch’nj’s material has probably been getting a bit wooden as of late. I’m sure he’s been just aching fir an opportunity to root around in his trunk of other racial jokes, only here it’s entirely appropriate.

      I’d as leaf hear some new material- these old jokes are ]saping my will to carry on, and I can’t stand the timber of his voice. I don’t mean to bark, but I can’t be aloam in these sentiments. I’d like at least one joke that will [i]bole[/i] me over with laughter, and this comic should be able to deliver; he certainly isn’t green, though he may be a bit of a nut. I wood consider him a bit of an ash, though- some of these jokes are downright rude. I can coniferm that when I told similar jokes, they called me a son of a beech.

    If they wanted spot-on racial humor, they should have brought in Gravedust.

      Nope. Insult jokes are (fortunately) alive & well with stuff like “Yo’ Mama” jokes.

    You know, given what’s going on right now I’m really surprised the guy doesn’t have a name like “Ste’pn Col’br” or something… Embraisch’Nj is rad though make no mistake!

    Actually, I’d say his material is perfectly in keeping with the stated themes of the evening; namely, pointing out the various flaws of the Heads of Houses. It won’t go well, but if it were seriously meant by the Admiral, it would have been a fantastic icebreaker to a rough evening.

    It’s a shame that Gravedust hasn’t gotten onto the council… would have made the dirt joke go over quite a bit better.

    I would very much like the rest of the week to be Embraisch’Nj directing an assault straight at the Admiral, and then reminding them all that “Oh, hey, Syr is my cousin. Nj is a family name.”

      I’m half expecting there to be a withering tide of insults gradually working it’s way around the table up until he gets to Syr’Nj… at which point he casually comments “Oh, hey sis. What’s up?”
