Getting a Laugh: How to Make Something Funny
Casually Explained breaks comedy down into expectation, surprise, specificity, timing, and revision while using those devices throughout the video.
Why I recommend it
I like that the video makes comic structure easy to see without pretending there is a formula for being funny. I also find its examples useful for ordinary communication, where timing and one precise detail often determine whether an idea lands.
