"Pay attention to those funny weird things that bounce around in your head."
(i'll add that even if they're not BOUNCING, it could be good to pay attention to them)
"Remember: If it’s funny and relevant and important to you, it’s funny and relevant to other people. In fact the more you think it’s not relevant to other people, the more specific and interesting the idea probably is.
(this is relevant and important to ME!)
"Don’t stop at the first funny thing, the first funny thing is just the beginning of the joke not the end."
(i like that this was basically the last thing in your piece today)
Yep - I totally agree. Also if you just want to kind of make the comedy that other people are already making, then you’re kind of just a fan, not an artist- and that’s rad, we need more fans :)
Now I want a punchline for “dating is like pineapple chunks”
I can only think of that step out game we used to do with Comedysportz "making love".
Making love to me is like pineapple chunks. It's very messy, there's very little pay-off and you feel a little bit sick after.
(We used to be able to tweak)
Making love to me is like pineapples, it was considered a sign of great affluence a long time ago.
Or...
My exterior is very hard, but once you get to my sweet juicy center. Still quite hard!
And scene.
Dating is like pineapple chunks, wet and sticky at first, but sad and dry after a year and a half of growing apart slowly due to career ambitions.
