Comedy Tip

The funniest “wisdom” often sounds correct for half a second, then falls apart under pressure. Let the character believe it completely. Confidence is the mule that pulls the joke wagon.

Purpose: This tool creates character philosophy, recurring beliefs, stubborn logic, and old-school wisdom to strengthen voice, callbacks, tags, and recurring comedy characters.
