Oh. Well, I can't speak to that point. Most of the comic material that I forge into fiver punchlines come from other fivers/episodes/websites/etc. Only a few times have I written a joke with the sole purpose of amusing myself. Case in point: the "2305 bloodwine stinks, 2293 bloodwine is great" joke. I use it as often as I can reasonably pull it off. Does it amuse others? Perhaps. Does it amuse me? Every single time. So I do it.
