I don't know brother, the joke didn't work for me, but then again I suppose that has something to do with my disability. I was born without a sense of humour
Sometimes don't try to pretend it, just be natural the joke and humour will come out of instinct, be with those who have great sense of humour, and the most important thing never repeat the same jokes again and again.
What joke. Can we have a look at
Sad life
Even if the joke didn't hit you can't deny this guy is talking straight facts
I’m glad i found a video that actually gave specifics for how much you should be writing and that you need to edit on stage. Great vid!
Thank you!
Great vid. Whether one finds the joke funny or not is not the point. Some will find it hysterical, some will indeed groan. Humor is objective, if nothing else. But it IS humor, and it IS a good opener. And the EXPLANATION on structure is terrific
This was a great help. I prepared a 5 min material and performed in front of 2000 people and even though I got a huge round of applause still I was slapped by organisers. Sadly i cannot perform the set at an election rally.
haha good joke
That got an audible laugh from me, great joke!
1. Set Up - least amount of context necessary to create enough tension so that when you deliver your punchline there's a laugh.
- creates tension
2. Punchline
- releases tension
Look at jokes to see why they're funny what's the set up eg. Misdirection
Remove as many words as possible for minimum context for a punchline to maximise laughs per minute. They want to laugh not learn.
Most people add too much context or put the punchline before setup and say you had to be there. Get to the interesting part.
Write everything you can possibly write without editing. The editing is where you find the joke. Create a mound of words then carve a sculpture out of it. Don't edit a joke over and over again.
Let the audience change and evolve the joke for you
Use the entire langauge to convey the same thing. A simple thing. Use synonyms antonyms alliterations rhymes puns homonyms
Write 10 lines of material everyday something that you can look back at the end of the edit and put up on stage. 250 words for funny story
3650 jokes a year
365 worth editing
36 good jokes
= 30 good minutes a year

Miss you Sara!
I love how this video is about the structure of a joke and not about “trying to be funny”. I feel like people who try to be funny usually aren’t funny
So kind of you to say. Thank you
@Casey Casperson I watch this video constantly, thank you
Thanks so much!
Subscribed, wish I could twice
Just out of curiosity, if I wanted to watch your course on comedy, would I have to cast it onto my widescreen tv, or can you still fit on my phone?
No, but thanks for the helpful tips man, much appreciated🙏🏻😋
A tall man stood up too quickly and hit a light. He must have felt light headed.
I can't find the edit button for this video. I thought you said the audience could edit for you!
your heart shines through and vibrate throughout your entire being and that alone makes you handsome!
Thanks
YOU HAVE A LOT TO OFFER! May I suggest you edit out looking at your notes and edit IN closeups and multiple distance shots - it will be more "CZcams" like! GOOD LUCK!
PS _ try watching Def Noodles - he also does Standup --
Very helpful also after the papa John joke i had to leave a like
How kind of you thanks!
Yo I'm socially awkward this is super helpful because I'm not naturally funny
i bought a book, how to write funny, it wasn't funny. I came to your channel and you summed up in 14 mins what that book could not in 4 hours thank you. i feel like i have a good understanding of how to write some jokes now. my favorite comedians are jeff ross, seth rogan, jonah hill, katt williams, and i forget the other one but i'm sure he is funny too. kinda sucks to have alztimerz at age 31 must be all those diet cokes i've been snorting.
Lol
😂😂😂the papa John joke
thank you so much
I’m a 🇯🇲 stand up comedian and everything your saying that’s how I do comedy and I never went to school for it 🤷🏾♂️ guess I’m naturally gifted is that possible👀
Papa John’s was a dime lol
Ha! Thank you!
Well i might need that one on one coaching cause im retarded , which is funny u mentioned genetics cause i blame BOTH my mom and dad ......They were hilbillies .....aunte mom and uncle dad ! Gotta love them mountain folk ....They get busy like the royal family
This is poes funny
Uncle Jimmy John's and Aunt Wendy's are also the problem. My friends Ben and Jerry Don't help either.
Dave Chapelle starts with a punchline

I’m trying to write a joke but I don’t think I get it and it’s frustrating me. I end up just having a ton of stream of consciousness thoughts about every possible thing that could go in the joke. Now I just hundreds of long paragraphs that are almost jokes with no real punchline. Help?
Have you tried any of the punchlines on stage? Let an audience help you out
@@caseycasperson853No, will do this and come back with results.
@@tyronecriss233 months later I'm curious what the joke was and how it did!
When is the next cheeseburger liquor party?
Jim gaffigan tight 5 45 laughs
Can i talk about my family of jokes
6:30 bored...
Let me help you out
I'm fat ...
Oh you noticed...
I blame twinkies...
Doc says i need to exercise and lose weight...
So i have a new doctor now..
Thanks for the info.
:D
I dont get the I'm fat joke
I got it
Papa johns is a Pizza fastfood chain. So he blames papa johns and not his real father
@@seider780 i get it but its not that funny.
@@sifugurusensei maybe you don't like comedy. Who's your favorite comic?
@@mandm2349 norm macdonald though he's dead. He consistently made me laugh.
I don't understand why people are commenting here , its not a comedy or joke club. I am very serious person.
😢😅
Papa John Jr.
If he didn’t say that racist shit, they would’ve put you on the box instead of Shaq
I've wrote a joke!
Joke: Why can't a t rex🦖,lion🦁,or eagle🦅eat me for breakfast,lunch,or dinner?
'CAUSE I'M THE KING OF WORLD!!!!!!👑🌎 WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm skinny. You can blame my father. You've probably heard of him, his name is Slim Jim?
eshh
I'm fat. I blame my father mostly. You might know him. He's really fat. ...so, genetics. Also he force-fed me pizza until I was eighteen...
He works at Papa John's. It's a newer job, unrelated to the force-feedings. I mean, I don't know, maybe he has a thing for pizza. I'm not him, so whatever. You go ask him, if you're so damn curious.
But you might know him, yeah. ...He's the manager there. -At Papa John's.
Hey! I’m pretty damn skinny. I mean real skinny! Someone stopped me last week and I asked, what part of Cambodia are you from?? 🤓
Thank you for this. Your dad papa John is a racist.
yeah, it's unfortunate and we are in therapy. He's not getting any better.
Please @1Challino stay out of comedy clubs.
@Casey Casperson Please @1Challino, stay out of comedy clubs.
@Sonny Knight get real I was joking.
How about: I'm fat, I blame my father. You probably heard of him. We had Chinese for dinner about five times a week. Oh, my father was Jeffrey Dahmer.
You are not very good
I’ll stop then. This was helpful.
It ain't funny
I just wrote a 1 min rant about how they should have let Quinton terrantino direct star wars
That’s fuggin hilarious
May the muthaf*****n force be with you!
@@caseycasperson853 thanks brother.i find my self setting things up well but I have a hard time with the punch line
and there is also subtext.
Thank you write 10 jokes a day
I'm a fat bastard... I blame my parents, my mother's a tart but my father's famous... Papa Johns.
The place I live is rural, it's so far out... I have to drive 45 minutes to get to the nearest abandoned gas station.
I knew a man of chagrin,
He never committed a sin,
Pure as snow,
As far as we know,
And the girls at the brothel said he was prim.
