Random ravings of a jazz musician/author. Thursday, February 27, 2014. A Serious Look at Comedy, Part II. II Why Writing Comedy is Easy. 8220;Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. They both die in the process.” E.B. White. I hope you haven't lost too much sleep in anticipation of this week's installment. Not so, my friends. Anyone can learn to write funny, as long as you know a few principles. Being funny in real life is another matter, and I can't help you there. But writing? Why is comedy easy?

Blog of Berin: A Serious Look at Comedy, Part IX

Random ravings of a jazz musician/author. Thursday, April 24, 2014. A Serious Look at Comedy, Part IX. Location, Location, Location. This is pretty simple. Say we want to have a scene at a fast food establishment. What's the fun in having it at a boring old place like that? How about if we have them meet at Wally's Wiggly Pickle Palace? First off, the name connotes humor, but it makes it more believable when silly/funny things happen. In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Did they take Napoleon (yes, the.

Random ravings of a jazz musician/author. Friday, May 9, 2014. Serious Look at Comedy, Part XIa. An Hysterical Analysis: Galaxy Quest, Part 1. A couple of months ago, while watching Galaxy Quest. In the first minute, we see an over-acted “lost episode” during a fan convention. This establishes the movie as a spoof of our dearly beloved Star Trek and its conventions. 6:05: When Jason finally comes out, he revels in the attention he is getting from the crowd as he says his famous lines. When he tries t...

Random ravings of a jazz musician/author. Friday, May 16, 2014. Serious Look at Comedy, Part? I'm afraid I must apologize. This has been a busy week and I have not been able to get back to writing my analysis of Galaxy Quest. This has been one of those weeks where I've had more to do than time to do it and something had to be cut out. Hopefully, I'll have some time next week to get back to it. And How to Hug a Golem. And Of Weeds and Wizardry. Until then, live long and prosper. Follow me on Twitter.

Random ravings of a jazz musician/author. Saturday, May 24, 2014. Serious Look at Comedy, Part XIB. An Hysterical Analysis: Galaxy Quest, Part II. Just an FYI: May 30th will be my launch of Tales of Myrick the (Not So) Magnificent. Volume I. I'll post more details here once I know some. It is several YA fantasy/comedy serials I wrote for Big World Network. Anyway, when we left off from the last episode, our intrepid heroes were about to be blasted into atoms by the evil, lizardlike Sarris. 43:47 Mathesar...
