‘Smiling, being happy and laughing are good for you, frowning and sadness bad.’ Who said that?
Me, I just did. Why? Because I believe it, and anyone who knows me knows I have a sense of humour for all occasions. Funerals included.
I watch ‘SpongeBob? Phineas and Ferb’ and any comedy aimed at kids, sometimes I laugh and at other times I see missed opportunities for pushing boundaries.
‘Drama is easy, comedy is hard.’ Another unknown quote, but so true. Comedy that makes people laugh depends on so many things, not least the reader. ‘One person's comedy is another’s drama’ That’s mine as well.
No, really, I’ve written a Youwriteon chart bestseller and received tremendous reviews. Then there was this one. ‘This is quirky yes but not sensible or realistic.’
Comedy, sensible and realistic, get real, this is a comedy for kids.
What am I saying? Well, over twenty excellent reviews, then this turd says comedy should be sensible and realistic, just like ‘Monty Python’, or ‘MR Bean.’.
So bare your audience in mind.
‘Whatever you do, don’t become a teenage girl.’ You know, never laugh and go around with a painted, solid face saying. 'That’s childish that is.’
Yes, at times my work is childish, so is comedy, we all loved being children; they laugh, they smile, they watch cartoons instead of famines, they would rather watch Mickey Mouse, than Michael Fish, they don’t care what the weather man says. They laugh when something is funny, not when their supposed to.
I want to be like that, that’s why I write.
Big Plug. My own brand of Comedy, Potatoes and all, ‘The Family Itch.’ Will be released on E-book in November. 1.49 dollars. Check it out, if you don’t smile, I won’t give you your money back. No really I won’t.
Quote. ‘Jersey potatoes, I can do better than that, I’ll grow them in my pants as well.’
Why are elephants large grey and wrinkled?
Because if they were small round and white, they’d be aspirins.
Be good, keep smiling and laugh don’t frown.
