abstract comedy is evil Posted Wed Dec 6 08:05:26 GMT 2000 by 'a0d (yeah)'

abstract comedy is only found funny, when the illusion of certainty is inserted

either that, or when it appears 'satirical' so its some sort of protest.

you're all savages!!

Would this be the abstract comedy that you keep defacating all over the Forum? It's certainly abstract in the sense that it doesn't remotely resemble anything that could induce laughter.

I'm no stickler about rules or forms of comedy. New styles are always arising as writers struggle to find their own voice. But here's a very very very small tip. If you're going to post zaaaaaaaaaaaany 'abstract' comedy, try making it FUNNY zaaaaaaaaaany 'abstract' comedy. Then more than 1 person might actually enjoy it.

With every good wish

There's nowt wrong with abstract comedy as long as it's funny... trouble with abstract comedy is that it has an in-built get-out clause in that when it's NOT funny (as is often the case) its perpetrators can always dismiss their critcs as too-dumb-to-keep-up-with-our-edgy-and-groundbreaking-humour. Yer basic Emperor's New Clothes effect. This has given rise to a lot of bloody lazy abstract comedy writing over the last few years.

you're right, mitch, laziness is the enemy.

a0d (yeah) - check out some n f simpson. it might just change your mind. very milligan, even more abstract (a couple waiting for an elephant to be delivered etc.), and very peter cook. and terrifyingly abstract. but simpson writes properly for actors, unlike milligan and cook.

even if doesn't change your mind, it'll give you a good giggle.
