Randomism

Practically an Ideology in comedy and is used by comedians to generate humour. The concept of "Randomism" is where a person just says the completely most unexpected thing in order to get a laugh. The idea is to be as random as possible with topics.
Lee Evans, Steven Wright, Emo Phillips, Lee Mack, Dylan Moran are all comedian examples of these randomists.

Random Slutting.

To Random Slut, you first require an unattended, non key locked Mobile phone. Quickly access the SMS facility and type the word "Slut" Hit send, and when the directory appears close your eyes, scroll down the list to a random spot and hit send. Quickly exit the SMS application, and place the phone face down, (whilst the screen saver resets), and step away from the phone, your work is done.

Slut is a great word as it implies naughtyness, without real insult.

Random Slutting was invented by DJ Richie Tuneraider, after an all night party, when he left the decks to find a plethora of mobile phones lying around. " I saw my friends phone lying on the table, and a wicked thought popped into my head, I have no idea where the concept came from, but it works" I have Slutted 100\s of phones worldwide, stood back and watched the fun develop. If a situation begins to get too fraught, you can always talk to the person and tell them it has happened to you as well, which takes the heat out of any situation.

Random Slutting has been discussed on Radio 1 (who frowned about the idea) and is a well supported activity amongst Facebook members, Skydivers and DJ's.

Once you have been Slutted, the fringe benefit is that you can then undertake "Targeted Slutting" whereby you pick someone you don't like or are upset with, Slut them, and lay the blame off on Random Slutting Activity (RSA.)
Celebrity Random Slutting.: Don Mclean (American Pie singer) played a gig in Leicester, UK. He attended an after party at a local rave, and somehow leaving his phone on a table. At the end of the night, 2 worse for wear DJ's found the phone, and began to slut. They used a frowned upon method of "send to all" for their Slut SMS and sent. They then fell asleep and forgot all about their misbehaviour. At about 7.am the phone woke one of them constantly ringing, he answered and was surprised to find himself talking to a reporter from the News of the World newspaper, wanting to talk to Don Mclean, about text messages he had sent. The DJ, shocked confesses the whole tale in a desperate attempt to avoid major trouble, and puts the phone down. As the DJ is in the business and their are only 2 posh hotels in Leicester, Don was quickly located, and his phone was returned to him by taxi.

random-core

The type of comedy you’re most likely to find on networks like AdultSwim, Viceland, IFC, and parts of Youtube. Often involves comedians/actors doing things stiffly, and/or, cringeworthy, in order to insight a laugh. It often makes little sense and feels completely random, though it’s extremely calculated and possibly has a message underneath (though sometimes it can literally mean nothing and they just find it funny).

Awkward silences, random outbursts, odd looking people, 80’s/90’s style video editing, bad hair, and wearing clothes that are tacky, too tight, or vintage inspired, are common traits randomcore comedians often display. Acting as though they are completely serious and never “breaking character,” is also common.

Those who utilize randomcore don’t care if something is gross or makes you uncomfortable, that’s the point of their comedy.

Interacting with other people who don’t realize the schtick is also often done in random-core. Getting people to react to something so off-putting is the ultimate goal.

Examples of comedians who utilize randomcore : Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, Eric Andre, Ethan and Hila Klein, aka H3H3, FilthyFrank, iDubbbzTV, Fred Armisen, etc.
Bob: Tim and Eric, and Eric Andre weird me out. It’s like the more random and awkward they are, the funnier their stuff is to some people.
Bill: Yeah, that’s because their style is random-core. The weirder, more stiff, and random it is, the better. It’s their schtick.

Randomness

The act of being random.

Typically used by teenage girls who are inept of a regular social interaction. This idea of "humor" is commonly seen on the internet, such as MySpace or various forums.
The varying enactments of randomness in public places include shouting out non-sequiturs, such as "I'm a duck!" or "Magic unicorn hyperforce team of love!" and uttering them among their friends.
The performer of such verbal botchery often takes pride in their socially awkward achievements, for they have recreated an "original" type of humor that they find delightfully esoteric and fresh. Or they could just like bugging or dissuading people.
Person #1: Oh, hi! I'm Person #1! Nice to meet you! I like pink pinguins and twinkes! Teehee! Sorry, I'm random! Randomness!

Person #2: Heh. That's nice. Bye.

Attempting to be funny and random

What anybody under the age of 13 tries to do ALL OF THE TIME on the Internet. You can tell they are doing this if they use any of the following words:

1. Cheese
2. Toast
3. Spork
4. Evil
5. Squirrel/Chicken

Click on any of those words and you will most likely find some inane attempt at being funny by some 12-year-old crone.
When I looked up this word, one of the suggestions was "50 Facts About Women". Oh, how convenient.
