I love this idea, am feeling a level of gratitude I rarely summon up for people I don't know personally, am sharing these remarks to Notes, and will upgrade to paid just so I can submit to this. Also, you suck. Sorry, the opposite thing.
“just throw this boat in the water and see if she floats.” Just because said boat came off the assembly line grammatically designated a “she” is no reason to arbitrarily assign a gender now. On the other hand, “see if she floats” is way funnier than “see if they floats.” Although it must be admitted that “they floats” would obviously be way stupider. And would, of course, prove she/they is a witch.
I am so freaking excited for this. First of all, it got me to finally record a sketch I've been noodling for a few weeks. Second, I think about your Steve Martin post all the time. It's really changed my perspective on how difficult writing comedy has to be.
Love this! Where do we land on critiquing other forms of comedy, like funny anecdotes, e.g., the time my aunt set the coffee table on fire? Or semi-faithful office reproductions of my favorite stand-up routines by famous comedians? My Louis C.K. kills 'em at morning meetings.
“Comedy classes can be fun and enriching. But they can also be so scammy that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should kick down the door and bust up the class.”
Looks like the folks who run these classes have nothing to worry about. Musk and Trump’s move to gut the Federal Government is clearly a favor to Big Comedy.
I'm digging this. Too much "comedy" today is just dick jokes, edgelord bullshit, and stupid crowd work, and it'd be nice to get a different perspective from people other than the lame-assed "Rogan's 250."
Absolutely. After Shaw won his Nobel Prize, he seemed to try to do everything in his power to destroy his reputation, even to the point of embracing Stalinism.
Read the following article and take everything Shaw says with suspicion.

Should have gone with the I Might Be Wrong Komprehensive Komedy Klass. “It’s great be back at the Apollo Theater”
That joke was definitely front-of-mind when I named the class.
Clown college? I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton like that!
Did he mean Klown Kollege? Klarifikation might be in order.
I'm assuming you've run this by the lawyers in your HR department.

Any notes for John Oliver's appearance on the Daily Show last night?

I was gonna go to truck driving school, but now I'm gonna write komedy.
I’m not a comedian and have difficulty delivering a good joke; however I think comedy is important and maintaining a sense of humor a must.
Jeff - this is a great idea! Glad to see from the comments that people are taking you up on your offer 😊
Cool idea
Made my submission, thanks much

I'm surprised you didn't go for Krusty's Kavalcade of Komedy for your Simpson's snip.
Or Krusty's Komedy Klassic
