- I love unexpected twists. A good example: in my favorite episode of the "Odd Couple" Felix refurnishes Oscar's apartment, including the clock. What is hysterical is even Penny can read the odd clock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ1_bVk8_cY … #WhatILearnedFromComedians
- I prefer more subtle vs. insulting political humor. For example, when Bernie Sanders complains about 23 choices of deodorants, I might respond, "Only 23?Senator, have you ever been on http://Amazon.com ?" #WhatILearnedFromComedians
- Don't laugh at your own jokes. I used a deadpan delivery as a way of transitioning lectures during my IT professor days. I would often get delayed-reaction laughter; the funniest thing was the reaction of other students: what happened? #WhatILearnedFromComedians
- You need to be able to laugh at yourself. It's subtle because it can come across as reflecting a bad self image. An example: I'm overweight, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "He saw me on my lunch break." #WhatILearnedFromComedians
- Ad libbing is an art form. At work a few years back, we had a staff meeting, and they brought up the idea of a green-themed potluck for St. Patrick's Day. I said, "I'll bring something from the back of my fridge." The guy next to me laughs convulsively #WhatILearnedFromComedians
- Context is everything. Oddly enough, the greatest President over the past century gave the best example. When a lady next to him at dinner said that she made a bet she could get 3 words out of Silent Cal: "You lose." #WhatILearnedFromComedians
