Pitiful Ploys at Humor pt 1

Whilst reading the script, you may have seen some attempts at humor (or not because I am not that funny). Either way, how the humor was achieved – or not achieved – was a very difficult task as there are different ways to achieve it; each way has their own target audiences which didn’t make this any easier. Without further ado, here are the types of humor I though about using:

Loud = Funy

This is what makes me laugh the most so we are starting with that. As what I decided to call it may suggest, this kind of humor can be easily compared with a jump scare; the main difference between the two being a jump scare is meant to scare the audience whereas the “Loud = Funy” is meant to make the audience laugh. Both, however, only work on idiots who can barely pass an IQ test (exhibit A: Me).

Jokes/memes that use this are usually very loud and sometimes over saturated; taking that away, however, the joke usually falls because they lack in everything a joke should have. Since films are not edited like a Loud = funy meme, it will not be good for the film opening, or any movie for that matter.

What??

This type of humor is identified by the confusion it gives the audience. A good example of this is The Eric Andre Show, where he will … well … just watch the video.

As you can see, the gimmick with this kind of humor is being weird; it is best suited when you a person who doesn’t know what is happening and can react to it – such as in The Eric Andre Show. However, this doesn’t suit most people – because some people of are a “higher class” than degenerates such as myself – so it wasn’t a great choice for the script.
