Step one,
Take a ponition that nobody could possibly agree with.
Ex.
• “Colors are stupid.”
• “Black people shouldn’t be allowed to vote, because they don’t know how
to poop.”
Step two.
Embellish everything so it’s clear that you’re approaching your subject through a
satirical lens. Because everything is funnier when you embellish it, right?
Ex.
• “Yah, I totally want to see a bunch of colors, colors are awesome, they’re
so hip.”
Step three.
Circular logic. If you use a lot of circular logic in your satire, then you’re satire will
be good, because it will have circular logic. You see, circular logic is logically
flawed, and therefore it’s funny, because it’s logically flawed.
Ex. !
• “Carol needs to go to the doctor, because she’s sick, and doctors help sick
people.”
Step four.
Absurdity. Throw a lot of tuna fish in your house, it spices up the smell of things,
and your satire will thank you.
Ex. !
• “AHHHHHH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
Step five.
Sleep with Felicity Jones if you get the opportunity. She’s a babe.
Ex.Step six.
Shitty puns. Puns are punny, and there are a pun of them. If you ever need a
comedy beat, and you can’t think of anything. Just pun a pun in your punning and
pun things pun.
Ex. !
• “Honey, we’re out of eggs.”
“That’s eggxactly what I was thinking.”
“… I want a divorce.”
