    I've only watched a little bit of the video so far, but using the tips I picked up I came up with a random topic by looking around my room (Alarm Clocks) and I delved into what Alarm clocks are typically associated with (Sleep, Snooze button, annoyance, agony, awakening, etc) until eventually I came across dreams and after that Nightmares.
    Here's what I got out of it. Maybe it's worth a chuckle, I don't know, but here it is:
    "Alarm Clocks are nice if you want to wake up from a nightmare to get ready for a new one".

      I love it! I first read your comment and the second stanza hadn't loaded. The first stanza was funny in its own weird way (in the context of the "how to make jokes" video, and it was sort of a non-joke.

    Lots of people complaining over this, did you really expect him to write 15 killer jokes in the length of this video? He'll polish these up and work on the delivery and all that! It's fascinating to watch someone creating things from nothing, and it is very useful.

    • @JerryCorley
      @JerryCorley  7 лет назад +52

      People have opinions. Most of the people who are commented can't sit down and generate material from scratch. So they just complain. The thing is that I state in the video that I'm writing in real time and some jokes are gonna suck. That's the nature of generating material. You're going to have people that don't think it's funny. There are people that don't think Jerry Seinfeld is funny. There are people who think Kevin Hart isn't funny. So I don't worry too much about people who don't dig the video.

      Man...these past two weeks, I've been listening to your RUclips videos while working. I bought your ebook Breaking Comedy's D.N.A. some time back and so far you are the real deal. You really break things down. I'm gonna sit down and try this listing method a few times to see how it goes for me. I'm constantly writing things down on my phone's notepad and I really want to work on a set and try stand up for the 1st time soon. Thanks for all your tips on RUclips.

    • @emrambles7949
      @emrambles7949 6 лет назад +2

      Yes. It is incredibly helpful and, importantly, it's reassuring. Because a lot of the stuff that Jerry writes down in this video is somewhat similar to what I put on paper the first time I approach a topic -- i.e., a good start but not necessarily a killer joke yet. This shows me that *maybe* I don't suck fundamentally. Now I'll take Jerry's techniques to increase my output and be more strategic about the writing process, and practice, practice, practice, and perhaps something good will come out of it, eventually. Thank you Jerry.

    Remember Ace, these are all first draft jokes. They don't all make the cut, but you NEVER cut during the writing process... what if that joke wasn't great for my voice, but was better suited for another comic who was doing the ESPYS and needed some last minute Tiger jokes. I could sell it. So cutting that joke out of the writing process would've killed a potential revenue creator... and it cost me nothing to write it...RIGHT?

    • @JerryCorley
      @JerryCorley  10 лет назад +32

      Sergio, the craft of comedy is to create laugh points. Whether you tell stories or jokes, there has to be laugh points. If you're a story teller, you can finesse some of the jokes into your stories to create laugh points. There's a craft and structure to stand up. Take, for example Bill Burr. Fantastic comedian. Tells stories. But within his stories you will find pure comedy structure. Here's eleven minutes of Burr deconstructed. It's a great lesson in learning the structure of jokes and stories: www.standupcomedyclinic.com/3513/how-bill-burr-uses-comedy-structure-too/

Before it took so much out of me that if I came up with 2 or 3 funny lines, I was done. I came up with 7 and I only need 1. Thanks.

    You include phrases and cliches too! In fact, sometimes that's my favorite way to write. Phrases and cliches give you an opportunity to respond to either something that someone has said or hit a cliche and change the ending thus creating strong surprise.

People tell me I'm a funny guy but the stuff I do is just totally off the cuff and unrehearsed. Kind of like those weird Seinfeld observations. I never realized until now that being a good comedian takes work and that telling good jokes is both an art and science. I just went through your video twice and absorbed what I could. If I make any money from comedy, I'll take my first paycheck (after deductions for a soda and pub fries) and buy your course as a way of saying thank you. :)

    I've always loved jokes and comedy of all varieties and facets, and am known around the shop to tell corny one liners to make my friends and coworkers laugh or groan. But more of late been more interested in actually coming up with my own jokes, because I'm finding my online joke sources are running flat, and seeing people post the same jokes over and over. As well as listeing to a podcast where the 3 hosts are comedians(of varying quality). But one of them just comes up with the most random stuff off the cuff, and made me want to understand the mindset more. And so in my searches i found you Jerry. And am slowly working through your videos.
    Anyway, in this demonstration when you mentioned "Ball washer" along with other news you were reading off i came up with this in my head while listening at work.
    "One of the only reasons Tiger Woods was caught having multiple affairs with over 120 women, was that after having that much sex, he decided put an ad in the paper for a professional ball washer."
    Thank you for sharing all that you do, and i will continue to listen to more of your videos.

    Personally I am glad that someone made a video without background music drowning them out.... I get sick of everything on youtube and television being ruined by rap.... Good Job

    Hi Jerry, could you make another one of these? A sequel would be awesome :)

    Jerry,
    By accident, at a senior center sing-along I showed the Laurel and Hardy movie clip " Way Out West" that contains the song "On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine", but better yet, Laurel and Hardys joking around the bar while the audience watched and sang with the music. This went over so well, I decided to add stand-up comedy to my music act thereafter. Now when I hold sing-alongs I interact with the audience using comedy too, and it works great. I could never go back to just music alone. So I've decided to create my own comedy. One of which is to tell the senior audience how to improve their aging memories by translating abstract things into pictures- this was the best sing-along/comedy show I ever did. For example, I told them how to remember who killed who - Abel and Cane by picturing Cane using a cane on Abel. Needless to say, it created a lot of different opinions and pictures in the minds of the audience as well as plenty of laughter from the double entendre. Your video of How to Write Comedy - Write 15 Jokes in 30 Minutes couldn't be simpler. Thanks again.

    I have just done this exercise, and I have never until now tried to write comedy or jokes. Always been funny, and wanted to try it, so this was my first attempt. Is there any way at all I could send you what I did for a critique? So I know if I have something or not. Thanks so much for this video, it really helped me with the first approach.

    I still use this video as a reference point when I'm writing. I can't seem to find the video that you posted about writing for a corporate gig. Maybe it was this one but I remember you saying to write 5 to 10 minutes about their company and they'll think the entire show is about them. That helped me kill my first big corporate gig for a bank.
