The humor here is the commitment to form and frequent 3 underlined by the use of 11, 43 and 152 Thankfully the 110 seemed to be of the 62 variety And admit it, you enjoyed the 149 form used for 96, 105, and 120 I would give details, but I m trying to do my part to help with the author s goal outlined at the beginning and end of their book Go buy one and find out what it is For extra credit go to comedybythenumbers cmp mai and check out the short films.
This book is of a guide to being moderately amusing than it is a guide to honest to gosh comedy Even if it s a parody of how to books, designed to illustrate the futility of teaching people how to embrace talents as instinctual as comic timing, this book rates a big FAIL Sure, there are some chuckles to be had, and you could probably stock your bathroom book rack with worse toilet reading, but when you consider the past efforts of the authors, you kinda wonder what fell flat when they were give [...]
When I first read this, I took this a little bit too literally as a manual for tropes and comic devices, but when I read this as a parody of how to books, then it became quite brilliant It provides dozens of comic devices and is genuinely funny This should be seen as a brochure that hows you examples of many things possible given different topics, not a dogma which tells you what is absolute.This book has no plot, so it is impossible to spoil.
I may not ever finish this.etion is not the intent of this book There is no plot, etc This is a reference book Perhaps best consumed while traveling, washing clothes my application , working me, again , passively watching tv and so on This book is pretty gall dern funny I find it to be most funny in the minor details rather than broad strokes The final entry is the coup de grace.
Good laughs were had in the Euphemism at the Maupin estate this month For anyone keeping track, Women are 169 the last one which is itself funny, because women aren t even funny That s why this book is so great useful educational Plus it uses exclamation points the proper way To encourage excitement Kudos as well for the serious paean to the Goons somewhere in the midst of all the mockery of the world of komedy Let s hope it takes.
So far, this is less of a funny book than I thought it would be, and of am actual guide on how to be funny, which is pretty interesting One of the two authors is Eric Hoffman, whom I _believe_ was a writer on Mr Show Not positive, if anyone wants to help me out here.
A very silly book that makes me laugh out loud each time I read a section of it It s a McSweeney s book, like the website of the same name, rated R for hilaRious.
Would love to hear a reading of the book by the authors, in its book form it wasn t as funny as I hoped it to be One can read list only so long until the mind is ignoring needed timing.
Cute often than funny Skimmed the second half because it was becoming off chore to finish.
includes the equivalent of TWO volumes of comedy moves from the basics 19 contact with something that isn t dry to the advanced 158 ugly people in 169 simple, factual lessons.
Interesting concept, and humorously written Good for a reference book Can you write a joke for every Number
The pure genius involved in brainstorming this book would be enough excitement for me
A textbook on how to be funny in any context and any situation This would be just any standard comedy writing book but the clever writing and lack of a serious tone made it a fun read.
are you funny do you want to be this book will introduce you to the entire known comedic world in 169 easy, alphabetized steps apparently, it helps to be fat or named steve martin.
Best if read aloud to those around you.The gags generally weren t that funny if only read to oneself.
More earnest than you think.
Scientifically proven applications for comedy You can t go wrong.
Good for about three laughs Unfortunately no resale value.
