A young man tries stand up…

A young college student found himself doing quite well in comedy online; he’d post jokes on the internet and get hundreds of comments saying how good his jokes were. Thinking he really had a gift, the young man decided to try a stand-up gig in front of a live audience. He booked himself a friday-night gig at a small local bar, and looked over his best old material to try and make the best impression possible. Friday night came, and he got up in front of the reasonably-sized crowd at the bar. He explained that he had been doing jokes online for quite some time, and this was his first time trying it live. The audience cheered, yelling encouragement at the the comedian. He began his first joke by saying “Ctrl + C. Ctrl + V.” He gave a long pause for laughter, but there was none to be heard from the audience; they all looked confused. “Let me try that again.” The comedian said, after clearing his throat. “Copy text. Paste text.” He could barely keep himself from cracking up at his own joke, but the audience seemed to have a different reaction. Some were still exchanging confused looks, others had begun to boo him. “What the hell, guys?!” The comedian burst out after a few moments of boos. “On r/jokes, that shit was all the rage!!”
