More on them at the end of the sketch.
- Hey, I'm working on a new standup comedy routine.
Do you wanna hear it?
- Oh, I didn't know you did stand up comedy.
I don't,
but I'm just trying to learn.
- Cool. Yeah, that's really cool.
- Yeah. There's such a nuance to joke writing and humor,
and I'm really developing an appreciation for it.
- Oh, that's so great.
- I think I got, you know, a tight 15 put together.
- Well, I mean, let's hear it!
- Really? Okay.
(clearing throat)
(sighing)
(clearing throat)
I hope you die in a fire.
- What?
- Just kidding.
- Oh.
- You seem like the child of divorce.
Just kidding.
- Um, I don't-
- My dog got ran over by a car this morning.
Just kidding.
I just found out I have pancreatic cancer.
Just kidding.
- What are you doing?
- What?
- That's not funny.
Oh, oh. Oh. So you think
I need to workshop those a little bit more?
- What? No, no.
I'm saying those aren't jokes.
- Yeah they are.
- No they're not.
- Um, they are.
It's a pretty common joke format actually.
It's where you say something and then you say just kidding
After
- Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I just don't think you're doing it right.
It would be, it would be more like, oh,
I'm going to throw my laptop out the window
if I have to tell someone they're on mute on zoom
one more time.
Just kidding.
- That wasn't funny.
- No, I know.
I know. It just, it's the first thing
I could think of.
- It was just kind of a bad example.
- I don't think you're doing it right.
I think it should be like you say something that's like
situational or something,
and then you say just kidding after.
- Oh. Okay.
You know what, I think I get what you're talking about.
It's it's a subtle difference.
Oh, I put razorblades in the muffins this morning.
- What?
- Just kidding.
- Are you?
- Yeah. It's a joke.
- 'Cause it kind of seems like
you might've put razorblades in the muffins.
- No it doesn't, because I said just kidding.
- Okay, that just kidding is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
- You know, I kind of think Hitler is maybe a great guy.
- Yeah, I don't think this is-
- Just kidding. Ted Bundy, he-
- Stop! Stop. This isn't funny.
- What? It was just going to be
a Ted Bundy is a feminist joke.
And then I was going to say just kidding after.
- I don't think you know what a joke is!
- Okay, I feel like you're doing this thing
where you're kind of like being offended by everything,
even though it's just a joke.
- But it's not funny.
- To you.
- To anyone.
- Okay, This is typical. This is what they mean
when comedians say they feel like
they can't say anything these days!
- You can say literally any other joke!
- Well, so you acknowledge that they're jokes.
- Yes. I think you're a phenomenal comedian.
- Really?
- Just kidding.
- That's a good one.
That's so good. I'm going to write that down.
Can I use that? Is that okay?
Oh my God. Just kidding.
You thought, you thought of it- oh, okay. (laughing)
Just kidding.
