New York based comedian David Angelo is asking you to steal his jokes, perform them on video and send them his way. You might as well do it. You can win $500.

Here’s the deal: Angelo has compiled a list of his own cast-off jokes. You can find them, along with all other contest info, at CodeNameJoke.com. You pick one (or any of Angelo’s jokes, if you’re familiar with his work), video tape yourself performing it upload it to YouTube with the words “Codename Joke” and then send the link to video to submit@codenamejoke.com. Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 pm EST on May 31. Industry insiders will then choose the winner.

“The appeal, for me, is that these people can fully commit to a sub-par joke because they aren’t self-conscious about having written it,” says Angelo. “The worst they can do is harm my reputation – which is already beneath contempt. So it’s win-win!”

Let Angelo himself explain it to you in the video below.

As if the folks at Funny or Die needed to do anything more to ensure that their site was one of the most popular and most influential comedy sites in the history of everything, they’ve just announced a brand-spanking new contest, wherein you can win a chance to produce a video with the site’s team of pro funnies. It’s totally true.

To bring you this contest, Funny Or Die has teamed up with HBO’s ComedyFetish.com, the network’s subsite that houses an exhaustive library of clips from their original comedy series— and it’s all packaged in a porn site-esque layout and organized in comedy categories like “verbal penetration,” “throbbing wit” and “premature evaluations.” Fun, right?

All the information you’ll need to enter the contest is right here. And in the meantime, check out Seth Morris’ explanation of the contest below. Good luck. And tell Funny Or Die that Punchline Magazine sent you.
