The Serious Guide to Joke Writing: How To Say Something Funny About Anything pdfdrive com

Question: What’s the difference between general and mini joke-webs?
Answer:  A  general  joke-web  is  a  collection  of  smaller  joke-webs  all  grouped
around  a  large  general  subject  that  goes  down  many  levels  stretching  far  and
beyond the original subject. A mini joke-web targets a specific subject and just
goes down two levels.

Summary
• Joke-webs are a wonderful tool for opening up a subject and finding all
its nuances and angles.
• The key to all joke-webs is, once you are past the first layer, to forget the
original subject to create new meaning for words and phrases and then
apply them back to create jokes.
• The more you put into a joke-web the more you will get out.
