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

Exercise 7: Writing Punchlines from Set-Ups
Look at the following set-up lines from satirical news shows over the years and
see  if  you  can  find  the  joke.  For  people  doing  this  home  alone,  give  yourself
about  half  an  hour,  maybe  in  two  15-minute  bursts.  I’m  giving  my  class  20
minutes because I have put them into groups of four, so it’s easier for them.
