Today we did sort of an introduction to a lesson about humor writing, with a joke writing activity. We pulled randomly from 2 categories, one would be a common situation/place/event, such as "airport" or "stubbing your toe" and a random person such as "pizza guy" or "Beyonce." Then a joke would be formed about the two of them, such as Jordyn's with hipster and a fire: Why did the hipster beat up the fireman? Because he wanted to see the house before it was cool!
The results were not that amazing, because the situation was rather forced, but it teaches a lesson about how comedy works, by taking familiar concepts and making odd connections or observations about them, We will go more into how comedy works next week!
