I use a lot of humor, and I follow the saying that if you want to tell people the truth, you better make them laugh first; otherwise, they will shoot you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you.
I love that I can tell the truth and have people laugh at it.
Humour has to have a huge nugget of truth to be funny. You cannot laugh at something unbelievable. Whenever I say something on a lighter note, I am basically unwrapping the truth from a different perspective, and that makes it funny.
It's good just to laugh sometimes, and if it comes out of some truth, it's even stronger.
You just tell a good story where you're funny and it makes people laugh.
Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it's the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people.
I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation.
A lot of my humor centers on the act of telling jokes and I think this can prevent certain audiences from suspending their feeling of disbelief. It might piss a few people off, but I can't help it.
If you do something that is not gags and punchlines and is character-based, where there are no jokes as such, then it all has to come from a place of truth, and I love that - I love nothing more than getting very serious about my comedy.
I tell stories. Because I believe you can do things that joke tellers can't do, and that is, bring your audience along.
