NEW ESSAY - I've been thinking all about the need to understand "Baseline Comedic Reality" and how important they are for creating the tension required for jokes - and how many shows don't even seem aware of the concept? Enjoy! <3https://www.patreon.com/posts/46754714

The more I think about it, the more I feel like my love of dark comedy (both in consumption and creation) have less to do with being “edgy” and more to do with the fact that it often implies this dramatic tension that earns the laugh. It’s taught me setup and payoff pretty well.

Bingo. And it's like, what makes Sunny work is that it's the most extreme possible tension, but the relief is that they always lose.
