Text Post #6: How To Write Good Comedy
Many of these suggestions were given by comedians, but because theyâre comedians, they might just be joking as well (ba-dum-tishhh!)

I want to talk about this more in-depth but for now Iâm going to just post it here
Education & Comedy: A Look at Wyatt Cenac
âIf I were a rose, maybe youâd pick me. But, I know you donât have a clue; this sunflowerâs waiting for you.â
Gosh this is such a theme in growing up plus size. I canât remember a time in my life where I thought I was âworthyâ of something letalone someone because I didnât look like the usual âenoughâ for another person.
For the love of God, please teach your children that their worth is not that of their weight or their height or their complexion â itâs in their character; itâs how they fight for others and run towards what they love.
run towards what they love, thatâs a beautiful idea

Text #4: Biswa & No Offense
For this week, I attempted to watch the comedy special Biswa Mast Aadmi on amazon prime. Biswa and Kanan Gill would do Pretentious Movie Reviews of Bollywood Movies on youtube together, but now they seem to work more independently. They were both very humorous in their short youtube videos, pointing out all the absurd aspects in Indian movies (like the impossible fight scenes where people are flying). However, watching Biswaâs own comedy act was not as enjoyable as expected. Biswa is this lean man that did IT (I think) and has thin, black glasses. Clothes hang loosely off him. In the future, he looks like he could be the CEO of a tech company if he wanted to:
Instead, heâs a comedian. He talks about bugs bursting into God, and speaks in a dialect of Hindi thatâs known for the roughhousers, or gangsters of the village. Tapori, itâs called. And he frequently starts laughing at his own jokes.Â
There were some funny insights and joke in his piece. He talks about how he doesnât trust ants because, like in the old stories of Indian times, if you murder someone or treat someone badly, poof! they will burst into God and God will tell them: This is a test and you failed. He talks about forging his fatherâs signature because it was cool to have a good signature in school, and getting beat up for it. He talks about being introduced to weed by a rock band, and finally understanding Hotel California because he could see the Hotel.Â
But he wasnât as funny as I'd expected, and there are a few reasons that I think this is the case. First, he is a very thin man that looks a little nerdy--you wouldnât expect him to speak in Tapori, a language for roughhousers and gangster. Itâs a very overconfident language. Secondly, my cousin suggested that itâs weird that he laughs so much at his own jokes. I suggested he was stoned. Third--it just wasnât super funny! I donât know what it was about it--it was amusing, but it wasnât always funny.Â
I think his style of language didnât match how he physically looked, and that was a bit offputting. I know that comedy is an act, or staged, but it canât be inauthentic. We talked about matching what you say to your image--like if John Mulaney cursed a lot, it wouldnât seem right. Thatâs what it felt like here.
I got to watch a bit of the History of Comedy: No Offense. I havenât finished the whole thing yet, but there was one part especially that rang with me and connected to Biswaâs piece. Someone talked about how good comedy comes from being closest to your authentic self that you can. I think that holds true in most cases that are important in your life--especially in your career. If you are authentic and true to yourself in what you can do, Iâd like to believe youâll be the most successful, and the most happy, in your life. Maybe thatâs just the Hallmark-lover in me coming out, but I still believe itâs true.Â

Note 1: I like watching videos in class because weâre actually interacting with comedy, instead of just reading articles about it. When I think of comedy, I usually think of something visual (though good literature can make me laugh too!) Iâm glad we could find the History of Comedy videos!
Note 2: It would be fun to be assigned to watch a humorous TV show, or a humorous text for the course. One of my friends actually brought up The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which is something you shared in class too.
Note #3: I am already mentally planning on what to say for if I do stand-up comedy. Iâm excited about it!Â
Note #4: Writing humor is hard. Do people have to have a knack for it--do people have to be naturally funny, or do you think it can be an acquired skill? We might have touched on this a bit.Â
Note #5: Greeting card humor is fun. Check it out:Â

Note #6: Letâs find a way to get connected to comedy in Lawrence, or even KC!
I like humor, especially when itâs threaded into something else. Jane the Virgin, for example, has the thread of humor involved in it, along with some heart-stopping moments in it. I mean, the premise of the show is that Jane was accidentally artificially inseminated by the sister of the guy whoâs sperm she was given--and he happened to be her boss. How could it not be funny?
Originally, I was going to pick Vir Das for my second paper, but the pieces I was thinking about referencing donât have a necessarily argumentative stance like the paper asks for. Trevor Noah would have been a good fit here, but so can Hasan Minhaj.
Check out Michael Chabonâs The Lost World. I canât remember if his work is humorous, but itâs good. I honestly enjoy it. https://courseware.ku.edu/bbcswebdav/pid-7004062-dt-content-rid-25615015_1/courses/4189-24010/4182-58920_ImportedContent_20180116091540/Chabon_The%20Lost%20World.pdf
Something thatâs really interesting about this class is that now Iâve started to pay more attention to what is humorous in everyday life situations--from notes on bulletin boards to the tendency of desis overing everything in plastic for cleanliness and projection, including their carpeted stairs, Iâve started to notice them more. Hope it makes me more humorous too (:
Why is this so cute
Bein corny with your woman is the best feeling in the world lol.
