Corpania Ideas

CAVEAT! I'm an amateur philosopher and idea-generator. I am NOT an investment professional. Don't take any of my advice before consulting with an attorney and also a duly licensed authority on finance. Seriously, this my personal blog of random ideas only for entertainment purposes. Don't be an idiot.

COMEDY TEXTBOOK: Taxonomy Continued - "Extend the Analogy Inappropriately"

I continue to try to add to my 18+ year back-burner project of compiling a "Comedy Textbook".

COMEDY TAXONOMY - Technique: "Extend the Analogy Inappropriately"

Take an analogy that is apt & universally accepted and then extend it ("Yes and...") further with over-the-top inappropriate examples.

I give credit to comedy writer Tim Carvell for inspiring me with his funny tweets:

• "Baby, you're a firework! You frighten animals and people can buy you by the side of the road in New England!" 
• "'Cause baby, you're a firework! You're loud and smoke and sometimes take children's thumbs off!"

Eventually, I do hope to complete the textbook.
