J: How to Write Jokes

jchastain:

Wait, that’s a question, not a statement. The humor I know largely involves taking the familiar and bumping its bits around until they’ve been ordered into something absurd and surprising.

thechrisgethardshow: (Thanks to Chris Donahue for the image.) It’s Election Day, and we’re going big with a 12 hour broadcast at MNN, and streaming live at our official site.  Today we’re going to celebrate democracy, have awesome musical guests, and take part in violent, ill-advised stunts. It’s going to be wild. We’ll also be checking in with our own endorsed candidate, Mr. Connor Ratliff, who’s campaign office will conveniently be located in a neighboring studio space at MNN. We have a responsibility to remain unbiased in our coverage, but we’re very excited to have the potential next leader of the free world with us on the night of his election.  The chaos starts at noon, and goes all the way to midnight.  —- Reblogging this post will automatically enter you to win our Hubba Hubba! Let’s Do This Democracy Prize Pack! The winner will be randomly selected at midnight, and will receive the following:  A TCGS T-Shirt of Your Choice. A copy of A Bad Idea I’m About To Do signed by Chris Gethard. Something I (Brian) will steal from today’s set before I leave. I have no idea what this third item will be, and neither will you until it arrives at your house. It might turn out to be something really cool, but it’s far more probable that it’ll be something useless like Random Orlando’s discarded half eaten sandwich or a napkin used by Bananaman. Get reblogging for your chance to win! We’ll be doing other giveaways through-out the day, but you’ll only find out about them here on the TCGS Tumblr! It’ll be our own special secret - Except not nearly as creepy as that just sounded.  —- Make sure to vote today, and then come back and spend the rest of your Election Day with us at MNN. It certainly won’t be the most accurate coverage of the election you’ll find, but it’ll definitely be the most Calsteady.
