The Holy Bible of Comedy

Death is easy. Comedy is hard.

Funny Facts:
  • It's either funny or it's not. There is no in between. "Kinda funny" isn't really funny at all.
  • Comedy is much more difficult than drama because comedy breeds arguments and clashes between different personality types. Different people who think different jokes would be funnier and others at each others throats. Comedy is frustrating for everyone involved.
  • Even comedies have scripts. Comedy is still a story and still needs a well organized storyline. Comedies need to be taken very seriously.
My Thoughts:
  • Mixing religious references and comedy felt very uncomfortable :(
  • Dang, comedy is overly complicated. So many rules and restrictions and so many scenarios where everything can go wrong. It's either a hit or a miss.
Question:
How can an unfunny person "become funny"? Or did the person in the article act as the anchor for the other comedians?
