To paraphrase The Simpsons, the gag is mildly amusing at first then gets steadily less funny as time goes on. Also, that Real Life section needs some pruning, as arctimon says, the two you quoted aren't really examples. Possibly Wayne Brady's could be salvaged, but it sounds like it should be in the TV section for Whose Line Is It Anyways.

With the exception of the second Wayne Brady bullet point, how are they First-Person Writing? They violate ZCE and Word Cruft (most of the entries don't mention how the people themselves speak in rhymes), though.

^ Actually, I think the only entry that's worth keeping is the Nipsey Russell one, as it at least mentions how the person could "pull off a couplet at just the drop of a hat".
