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

Exercise 6: Double Joke-web
Get an A4 piece of paper, or two smaller ones, one for each joke-web Choose
two subjects.
Write  for  at  least  10  minutes  on  each  joke-web.  Write  everything  down  that
comes into your head. Think of the big things that go with a subject, the small
things, the people, the locations, the concepts and the history associated with it.
If you’re stuck use the Ways To Think About Words List.
Put it in your Hadron Joke Collider. Apply every concept from one joke-web to
the MAIN SUBJECT of the other joke-web.
Think  it  through  for  a  few  seconds,  no  matter  how  crazy  it  seems.  Write  ALL
ideas down no matter how weak they feel.
Look  at  your  list  of  ideas  and  see  which  you  can  turn  into  gags.  Keep  going
back, keep reconsidering, keep thinking.
Remember!  You  are  an  intrepid  joke  explorer.  The  more  you  explore  the  more
jokes you will find.
