I’m trying to make these thirty disjointed scenes flow together smoothly, but it’s like trying to build a Ferrari out of crisp packets and wet cardboard. 🚗💨📦

Comedy prompt: give your pet a stand-up routine.

Pick one complaint, add three specific details, and turn the strongest observation into a setup, exaggeration and punchline. What would your pet say first? 🐾

Great comedy often starts with close observation. Notice a normal moment, find what’s slightly absurd, and write three funny details. Your creative voice grows through choices.

The hardest part of writing a comedy script is resisting the urge to just put [AND THEN A BEAR WALKS IN] every time a scene gets a bit boring.

I'm from this radical, fringe school of #comedywriting philosophy, wherein I pretty firmly believe that your #comedy #film ought to have some jokes in it 🤷‍♀️

Call me crazy! And if you do, go do it on #ReelRank (I could use the engagement). What a bullshit #movie 😑

#FilmSky 🎥 #MovieSky 📽️ #ReelRank 🎞️
There are no JOKES in this COMEDY film 🤷‍♀️ — Review by KCookandCatsCo | ReelRank
¡Three Amigos! review by KCookandCatsCo: 👎 3.0/10. "Every third or fourth 'comedy' film from the 80s (and early 90s) I watch, I have this exact experience…" — Read more on ReelRank.
