Hypocrisy is great fodder for comedy.
From Mo Rocca
My sophomore year I spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.
I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.
I have a Keurig coffee maker, which is really kind of a luxury. It was given to me by an ex. I realized when I'm feeling sentimental, I'll gently, tenderly press the button. Then when I remember he dumped me, I punch it.
Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.
I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.
The most important thing is to write material that YOU think is funny. If you don't think it's funny, but you're convinced that other people will think it is, well they won't.
It's much easier to make jokes about sensitive issues if there is some dissent, some conflict.
When it comes to war, we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event, rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.
I bruise like a grape.
