Join us as we talk comedy with the founding editor of The Onion and New York Times best selling author. We discuss Scott’s eleven Funny Filters of comedy writing from his “How to Write Funny” series of books, podcast, and class using examples of each from articles published in the Onion.
We also draw from examples including Monty Python, Seinfeld, Albert Brooks, Rodney Dangerfield, Chris Rock, and much more to help understand how these funny filters work so you can use them in your own comedy writing. Stick around to the end to find out what Scott’s hilarious one-word description he would have on his tombstone in our “Last Laugh” segment.
