I think sometimes in comedy the characters are often sacrificed for the joke, and it's more important for it to be funny than for there to be love.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People want to see comedies where characters aren't sacrificed for the jokes.
The real reason for comedy is to hide the pain.
Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.
It's important on a comedy to have a fun loving set.
In order for comedy to be funny you have to play the truth of the moment. But if you're not being completely truthful to the basis of the character, its not going to be funny.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
Comedy is such a vulnerable thing. With drama, you're not trying to make someone cry. If you do, great, but that's not your goal. With comedy, you're trying to make someone laugh, so to me, it's harder because you are in such a vulnerable position. You're like, 'I hope people like this. I hope I do the joke justice.'
In life, comedy occurs naturally, as it should, in the most appalling of circumstances.
You can't do anything to be funny. That's cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don't make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.
The hallmark of a good comedy is that it can make you laugh, but it can also take you to the point where you're in love with these characters, and you want to see them be happy, and you want to feel that emotion for them.
