i was fascinated by anticomedy as a child when exposed to the concept, the idea that if you just deliver something with the rhythm of a joke on stage people will laugh and not know why

my favorite political anticomedy bit that i do sometimes is making up some facially impossible outrage like "Trump launches new 'pussyboy draft', 500,000 men 18-35 to be given involuntary vaginoplasty to sate his own cruel lusts" then editorialize like "Horrible. He shouldn't be allowed to do that"

unpredictable repetition is precisely part of what makes anticomedy. the joke is bad on its own; but with our human ability to divine patterns, the joke can become good when we can experience it together

let me walk you through my process on this one. Obviously we're dealing with anticomedy, right - with a subject like Citizen Kane, how could anyone possibly say anything novel, comedy without novelty is death, etc. And definitely the belaboring setup really dials that one in, too
get ready for my new joke about classic film. Citizen Kane? More like... Citizen Great Movie

I enjoy her implication that Tim Heidecker did whatever he did because Jay was once mean to him, rather than Tim’s clear political leanings. Like if not for Jay, he’d be the Rob Schneider of anticomedy.

Incredibly stuff going on in season 2 of The Rehearsal. It's not comedy or anticomedy but some secret third thing. Five stars (out of five).

Space Ghost and Lowe seemed to pop up everywhere with weird interview promotions, anticomedy live action bits made for no money, walks in cameos in other shows. A mascot of odd, thrown together programming.

Starting a rumor that The Duck Factory was an innovative experiment in nonlinear storytelling in sitcoms, an early advancer of anticomedy, and Jim Carrey's first straight role.
