In comedy, it's not the glamorous, beautiful people that are great at comedy. They're either every man or every woman, they're either quite tall and lanky or shorter and fatter or have a big nose. They have something physically about them that makes them into a comic stereotype.
Why does 'I Love Lucy' still make people laugh? Because she's a specific character who has real reactions.
I don't control the line of 'funny,' 'funny,' 'funny,' 'not funny.'
Our comedy was light-hearted amusement that seemingly tripped naturally off the tongue. That's why I don't think it will date.
Funny is the world I live in. You're funny, I'm interested. You're not funny, I'm not interested.
This is going to sound pretentious, but I like comedy that addresses something I find either worrisome or interesting in my life.
Funny is funny. If it's funny enough to women, it will be funny to men. I think that's been proven by Broad City and Amy Schumer. They're killing it.
People wince when something is in bad taste. They laugh when it's funny. If it's too dirty or wrong, they won't laugh. But if it's a big, dirty, smart, funny laugh, they love it.
The bigger the audience, the better with comedy.
Comedy appeals to the collective mind of the audience and this grows fatigued; while farce appeals to a more robust organ, their collective belly.
It's almost like he's started to sound even more exotic the more people started doing him. I don't know why, but there's just something about Al Gore that makes me laugh.
I think, a lot of times when you do a comedy show, people will turn out for a name they know. So, they get excited when they see Patton Oswalt is going to be on the show, but they kind of cross their arms until Patton Oswalt shows up.
