That's the worst way you can hear about comedy material: from a third person's blog story that they wrote when they were upset.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People, when they talk or write about comedy, they don't really get it.
I had written for Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman in the past. Jimmy had a different voice, and different priorities. He couldn't be the bad guy in the joke; he couldn't upset people, really.
One thing that bugs me in comedy is when somebody does a fake cry, you know, like they fake cry in a comedy. But in a drama they'll really cry. That bugs me.
I find it really appalling when people talk about comedy.
When people write comedy from neutrality, it just gets kind of silly.
If you make comedy, if you try and make comedy where no one gets upset or offended, you're going to fail.
Too many writers get stuck in the trap of writing what they think is funny and not considering who they are writing it for.
Making people laugh is the lowest form of comedy.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
There is nothing far-fetched about disappointment as a subject for comedy. It's something we are all too familiar with.
