Two Hastily Thought Out Theories on Comedy
Two Hastily Thought Out Theories on Comedy
After attending an amateur sketch comedy show with Sue and my friend Kent tonight, I have two new theories about comedy. These are not comprehensive, just two more to add to the list.
1. Comedy is best when it is spontaneous and immediate, or when it is honed and well-thought out. It's at its worst when it's somewhere in between.
Spontaneous = great improv, Christopher Guest movies, snappy one-liners, Eddie Izzard
Well-Thought Out = 30 Rock, Arrested Develo
