That's actually a pretty good point.
I just find that Sci-Fi humour ends up being a massive spoof, witht the rare exception of DNA (RIP).

Ooooh-Kay folks...
First: Valorous - Welcome! Be sure to put some mention of the GDG in your Sig or Bio, and I'll be sure to add you on for the next update...
As to the rest of yous:
So what do we all have?
Humor RPG Ideas
-Generic Sci-Fi Spoof
-Star Wars
-Monty Python
-Indiana Jones
I think Indy is a very fertile RPG idea. Though the actual franchise would be hard to adapt, perhaps an expedition type idea?
Some Journey into East Borneo! 
Like Jungle Cruise!
Or something...
Very intriguing... 
Any other ideas folks?

That could work, just use IJ as a rough basis for it.
Another thought could be a Pirates of the Carribean RPG (or just generic Pirate RPG), it would be easy to stick in tons of humor and there would also be adventures enough to go around.

Pirates, I find, would be far more lucrative in the long run.
Really, they're just ready for the humour factor. Peg legs, eye patches, they spend their days on boats surrounded by other men...

Many thanks, I_H.
Group-made RPGs? Very nice idea, one that I think is sure to be successful. With so many game masters, it is apt to be mercurial.
A comedic pirates RPG has an immense amount of aptitude for burlesques. I'm all for it.

just popping in to say that i think the pirate RPG would definitly rock, especially when you have any kind of focus being placed on humor.

I must say I liked Prenn's idea of the SW standup RP. I can just picture myself playing a Dave Chapelle-esque Twi'lek or something along those lines.
Pirates could work. That's about all I got to contribute to this discussion thus far.
Wait, I=5, you PM scripts to fellow RPers? Is that how you and DVC are always so fragging hilarious in Podracer? I assumed you guys were just on the same wavelength all along.
And, if I may go back in time a bit to the discussion I missed while on vacation, I've read some hilarious scripts and screenplays in the past (Picasso at the Lapin Agile, anyone?). Perhaps a humorous RP could be reformatted from a disjointed narrative to a script of some sort....I dunno, just a thought I had while reading what I missed.

I just thought of something that may or may not have humorous potential. It's not quite an RP in the typical sense, but I think there would be RPing involved.
So, we have the Holonet RP news in the SWRPF, following me so far? Well, think about the RL news-spoofery that exists: The Onion, the Daily Show with John Stewart (and the Colbert report), WeekendUpdate on SNL. Perhaps something like that could be established, using the other RPs as news fodder.

SephyClone15 wrote Wait, I=5, you PM scripts to fellow RPers? Is that how you and DVC are always so fragging hilarious in Podracer? I assumed you guys were just on the same wavelength all along.
What?
Edit: Oh, I see. Had to scroll back to see what you were on about?
No, I don't send scripts to people.
I don't know if DVC is on the same wavelength as me; he might be. I do know that at times, Livi-Wan and I have been. Scarily so sometimes.
My reference to scripts is that some players, especially those who like to think they are funny, assume that if they know something, that the rest of the world will know it too.
If you throw a joke out there, and don't worry if no-one gets it, like I do, fine.
But if you are a second year medical student, and come across a medical joke and work it into your post somehow, don't gripe if the rest of us who might not be medical professionals, don't get it.
The example is a bit extreme, but I am finding players assuming that everyone will share their knowledge and interests outside SW enough to understand their humour, and getting mopey if that doesn't happen.
