TIL: Being Specific is Funny

'Car' vs 'Toyota Corolla' vs '2006 Toyota Corolla', by being more specific, you engage the audience to picture this specific thing in their head, and it somehow make things much funnier. (it's amazing how human brains work)

Photos from University Theatre's sketch comedy training event hosted by Mikki Marvel from Triangle Sketch Club (I had no idea what a sketch is before I came).

fun afternoon

Mikki was super enthusiastic (not in a weird way, see below) and funny, and I had a great time. And and I'm still Sam Sam, thank you for being Sam! Hope we meet again.

The most interesting thing we did that afternoon was coming up with 10 locations, 10 occupations, and 10 adjectives (the weirder the better), and choose your combination to make a funny story.

We loved the overly enthusiastic mortician, and the flammable lifeguard (by me)!

the dragon and the window

Also the dragon at the 2nd floor is really cool:

The window of that room from outside:

all pizza places should be burnt to the ground!

And another example that's funny and stuck in my head is:

pizza is disgusting! all pizza places should be burnt to the ground!

non-conventional = interesting = funny, we already know that, but hearing someone say it out is really really funny.

interesting fact: i said something similar to get attention but was ignored. i was talking about seafood. i guess it doesn't work in all situations lol.
