I think you make better jokes when you don't break logic for the joke, unless you make a movie just about jokes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you think something's funny, go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty.
In order to be able to write a good joke, you have to find the truth.
I think when you dissect a joke too much, you have ruined whatever there is in comedy.
Jokes are a lot about meaning. I think if we understand what jokes mean and why they work, we'd understand everything else. Genuinely I do.
If you're showing people where it's smooth sailing, where is the joke? If you go back to any movie, even a conventional movie, with any comedians, they're either not terribly intelligent or they're not doing something well.
I prefer sayings over jokes.
I don't do jokes. The characters are my jokes.
Sometimes, comedy and entertainment is not all about telling jokes; sometimes you just have to be you for a few moments.
Anybody can make jokes. But unless they come from conviction, and there's truth in them, you haven't nailed it. They aren't as funny as they could be, and they don't make a point.
Sometimes an actor will stumble on the joke, and I'm right on them. Back it up before the audience hears the bad version of the joke, because humor is 90% surprise. If they know what's coming, they won't laugh as hard.
