That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I actually gravitate toward comedy a lot when it comes to what I'm watching, but maybe that's because I've been on such dark work the last four or five years.
Nobody wants to see sketch comedy that's the same sketch they've seen time and time again, or that's just a rehash of that thing.
People will love something very much or hate something very much. But the great thing about a sketch show is that if something comes along that you don't like, something else will come along in a minute that hopefully you might like that.
Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.
A sketch should be about two to three minutes, which is basically what most songs are. They're usually done by groups. Good examples of each build and have different parts and twists in them. I guess sketch would be the comedy version of music.
For comedy, timing is key.
Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it.
With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
Comedy is great because there's no overhead.
The energy in a comedy is very serious. Somebody said comedy is a tragedy plus time. When you have a tragedy, for example, like this, like, 'We're going to die,' and you have time, like, five hours to die, it becomes a comedy.
