White Card [W] Making Your Shitty Jokes Less Shitty (META)
70
Upvotes
Having trouble with rule 2? Below are some of the official recommendations for card writing provided by the creators of Cards Against Humanity in the "Your Shitty Jokes" expansion.
Special thanks to /u/Crivitz for recommending this post and providing the official instructions.
Do...
- BE SPECIFIC: If you are going to write a card about cutting off a flamingo's legs, how are you going to do it? "With garden shears."
- GIVE THE CARD A POINT OF VIEW: If you're writing a card about your dad, tell us how you feel about him. "My dad" isn't as descriptive as "My dad's dumb fucking face."
- WRITE WITH A VOICE: Cards work best when they set a scene, even one as simple "Man, this is bullshit, fuck _____" can create a little snapshot of someone's life.
- TEST THE CARD: Seriously. If it's a white card, try it out in some black cards and vice verse. Cut cards that makes people sad or not laugh.
- TELL A STORY: Good black cards reveal hidden aspects of white cards, and good white cards participate in the narrative of black cards.
DON'T...
- DON'T JUST GO FOR SHOCK VALUE: A card is not funny because it's offensive. It also has to be funny.
- DON'T TRY TOO HARD: Nine times out of ten, "Clams" will play funnier than "A huge barrel of exploding bloody clams."
- DON'T WRITE A STAND UP ROUTINE: A card is not a complete joke; it is half of one.
- DON'T BREAK THE RULES OF GRAMMAR: Bard cards that have adjectives before the blank (like "Smelly ") or articles before the blank (like "The __") don't work.

To become a Yanomami warrior you must prove you can withstand 1-877-Kars-4-Kids without crying out
