Hey Brian!! Good to see you around!

Whew! The last two years have been… (behemoth understatement) rough!

I’m sorry to hear that. Whether you mean in everyday life or with writing (I’m sure it’s both) I hope 2022 gives you a better time! I think we could all use a break. Or at least some comic to relieve the tension.

Luckily for you, I am a very funny person. (Not trying to brag, but it’s true 😉 ) I have been blessed with a great sense of humor which I am very grateful for. People often come to me when seeking comic relief.

I have (sadly) only read one book that has ever made laugh out loud for a moment and it was from a total young teenage horse girl series so I’m not going to necessarily recommend it to you XD

However, what happened in the scene was the girl got so embarrassed by being caught talking to her horse like it was a human which made me laugh so hard.

I’ve written some comedy into my own stories. It isn’t necessarily easy to do that, but it is possible. One of the scenes I wrote that I’ve been told by many people made them laugh was a scene with my pirates. These pirates are obsessed with tracking down this treasure that they think belongs to some mermaids. Because of this, every evening they go to the beach where they believe the mermaids come up to during the day and search until they find some mermaid treasure that may have been left behind. Some of these pirates aren’t all quite there in the head which makes one scene quite funny. They have all laid their “treasures” on a table and the caption was inspecting it. He then picks up an object and asks the pirate it belonged to why he had brought it.

“I thought maybe the mermaids had left it behind. It looked valuable” he responded.

“It’s an old boot!” The caption said.

“Aye, but it could be a mermaid boot”

“Mermaids have tails, you fool! They don’t wear boots!”

“Oh, I guess you’re right about that…”

I honestly didn’t think that scene was worth much, but everyone who read it said it made them laugh.

Another thing that’ll make anything funny is *sigh* I gotta say it, dad jokes. If you have characters constantly spitting those out, you can make anyone laugh. There’s a new movie out called Jungle Cruise and one character does that. The movie was a total disappointment but because of his dad jokes the first five minutes was great. (He stopped with the jokes after that)

You also have to keep in mind that different people find different things funny. One of my close friends thinks puns are hilarious while I am more likely to crack up at cheesy jokes or a reference to something. Then you also have Clown Humor (totally making that phrase up) where actions are funnier than words. You also can’t forget the Crude Humor where someone with bad gas is the funny one.

I’m sorry that was so long, but I hope it was helpful. I shall dismiss myself on this note….

What’s brown and sticky?
