    For everyone complaining about all the old rock themed machines, here’s one to consider. Why not a comedian themed game? Take Robin Williams for example. He had so many rapid fire quips and jokes they could easily fill a pin. The same with most major comedians, like Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, etc. And if they can make games from song lists of bands I’m sure they can from comedy routines. And if you think the jokes would get old after hearing them a lot, consider the success of comedy albums that used to be played over and over. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

    Quoted from playtwowin:

    Little Boy blew…he needed the money. I appreciate your sarcasm.

    But unlike what some others have said, I don’t think the jokes would get old…certainly not any older than call outs get in any typical game. And some comedians like Robin Williams or Rodney have so much material and so many quick one liners you could put hundreds of them into a machine. I am a little more perplexed over what would be the objective of the game, but like I said, if they can come up with objectives for band pins they certainly could for one based on a comedian’s routine(s).

    Quoted from RCA1:

    Maybe a factory setting with a bunch of jokes. Like a joke factory. Or a pun factory. I know.... a Punny Factory!

    Yeah, I thought of that too. A Laugh Factory (yes, I know that’s a famous comedy club) would be a good objective

    Quoted from ZooDude:

    My wife was/is a comedian, who now buys comedy talent for live nation, I can tell you this would not work.
    First off yes, I saw my wife perform 100's of times, sometimes had to watch the same set 2 times a night, gets old. Real old (especially if the jokes are about you!)
    Secondly after seeing the hassle she has doing contracts with these jokers, I can't even begin to imagine the nightmare trying to get them to agree to anything.
    Comedy is great, stand up is great, for a pinball theme...
    Not so much.

    You clearly have more insight into the subject than I. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
