If the captain's last name was Crunch, would the workers in his ship call him Captain Crunch? Earthquakes happen on Earth. But what if they happen on Mars? Would it be called a marsquake?
Our Comedy teacher today was out, and she sent in her sub. He taught us so many great things about comedy, and gave a short lecture on the science of it.
Why is comedy so funny? Because it's true. Like the phrase, "funny cuz it's true."
And when I think about that phrase deeper, it all starts to make sense...
I think one of most effective ways of making people laugh is making unexpected twists to everyday conversations. I see this idea in several Japanese manzai (comedy), such as Taka and Toshi and Sandwich Man.
