Bad Joke Timeline: The Pizza Party

It all started on a fateful night in 1987, when Bob, a struggling stand-up comedian, decided to host a pizza party at his apartment.

The guest list was a who's who of local comedians and weirdos, all gathered around the kitchen table, waiting for the pizza to arrive.

• 12:00 AM - The pizza finally arrives, looking like a sad, cheesy thing.
• 12:15 AM - Bob tries to convince everyone that the pizza is actually a "gourmet" experience, and that the weird smell is "artisanal."
• 12:30 AM - Someone asks for the check, and Bob reveals he's been living on ramen for a month.
• 1:00 AM - The group decides to start a comedy club, and Bob becomes the president.
• 1:30 AM - Someone spills an entire glass of red wine on the new carpet, and the party gets out of hand.

This is the story of how the pizza party became the greatest comedy club in the city, all because of one bad joke.
