New writing again

I put up some trash talking stories. I am looking for a common thread between all the stories and I am wondering if you can identify this thread. I am getting close to pin pointing the main point I want to make with these stories. I am just wondering what you think? Also are these stories funny?   I am trying to go for a funny tone and I think my interviewees brought the funny to me instead of me trying to manufacture it. Let me know what you think.
