There's No Such Thing As A Little Funny

Humor is difficult. Other kinds of stories don't have to hit the bull's-eye. The outer rings have their rewards too. A story can be fairly suspenseful, moderately romantic, somewhat terrifying, and so on. This is not the case with humor. A story is either funny or it is not funny. Nothing in between. The humor target contains only a bull's-eye.

Isaac Asimov, I, Asimov, 1996

  1. I have been told by reliable sources that humor or comedy is also the most difficult type of acting to master as well. It's easier, they said, for a comic actor to do drama than for a dramatic actor to do comedy.
