I like to mention this occassionally: I am a professional comedian--unknown but making money--BECAUSE OF JERRY'S COACHING. Eight years ago, I hired him for 8 or 9 online sessions. He saved me years of struggle. The big three things I remember he told me: #1 - Spend 2 years learning to master 2-line joke writing techniques. (Even brain surgeons have to start by learning basic anatomy for 2 years.) #2 - Only 7% of laughter is triggered by the actual words; vocal intonation accounts for 38%; body movements creates 55%. So ... a great joke works on words alone. Add the other stuff later. #3 - Irreverent jokes are the most memorable.* Irreverent comedians tend to be the most memorable. (That doesn't mean you should necessarily strive for irrelevance, just that it does make people remember you.) * I may have read that elsewhere, but I am fairly certain Jerry told me that. Lol

[@HotBreathPod]

Oh yeah Jerry is a gold mine of comedy info which is why we’ve had him on the show so many times.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

Thank you, I copied that to add to my writing notes.

[@AlphaDogsSwag]

One key takeaway reminder from this video: When Lord Carlin commands an order, The Dude abides! Props to 'The Joke Doctor'(because sometimes drugs aren't enough, and jokes are like the icing on the cake)

[@HotBreathPod]

This is gold thanks Beau!

[@Scottfowlerishere]

Wow! nearly 2 hours of Knowledge nuggets. Thank you.

[@HotBreathPod]

Thanks Scott! Jerry also puts on a comedy clinic with us on this channel!

[@drfunk444]

Nice. Lots of great stuff. Learning anything worthwhile takes time. You first start off being unconsciously incompetent. ( you don't know what you're doing). It doesn't take long before you become consciously incompetent. (You kinda see your mistakes). Eventually you get consciously competent. (You know how to apply some of these comedy "tips"). If you keep at it and be humble in the fact that you're always a student of the artform ... Eventually you will become unconsciously competent. You become masterful. And masters get work. I'm a comedian for 30 years. I make 6 figures and I'm still a student cuz I love it.

[@dam-sb4js]

These guys are serious in making comedy..love ur community 😍

[@HotBreathPod]

Thanks comedy fam! I do a live Q&A every Tuesday on KZbin. Pull up sometime.

[@quincyjoelcahilig]

Wow thank you so much Quincy. We're all about helping comics. Did we earn a subscribe?? kzbin.info

[@timothywilson6318]

I love the joke doctor

[@JessieNebulous]

Fantastic! Thank you for this. 💜

[@bradhouston4734]

So much value! Always so good! Maybe I should ACTUALLY do some standup soon!! 😮😂🇦🇺

[@StGammon77]

I went to a beginners open mic recently to watch 12 6 min stand up acts. After being told the audience doesnt heckle I saw the opposite, not nasty stuff just banter so at least 1 minute of a 6 min stand up will be spent on answering call outs so I guess youd need to factor that in.

Thanks comedy fam our channel is all about this stuff!

[@Lethanibba]

Thanks for those amazing pieces of knowledge.

[@HotBreathPod]

Absolutely thanks for watching!

[@theferrouslife]

Every time I watch Kill Tony; I think "I can do that." then I watch these how-to videos and realize I'm not a comic. Then I watch Kill Tony and the circle continues

[@noahmilam]

I took his class it was great. Jerry told us to read Comedy Writing Secrets By Mark Shatz, Mel Helitzer. it his book but more details.

[@christaotv7597]

Saludos desde Madrid España

[@cjtalksfunny]

Small critique: Shane Gillis does ta da. I would argue it’s not actually “ta da” aka “that’s the joke”. It’s that the gesture breaks the tension set up by the joke.

[@HotBreathPod]

Interesting observation I’ll have to rewatch his stand up!

[@Mitchenzo]

My favorite that I seem to resinate with is Daniel tosh, but I feel like you can't just jump into Comedy that blue with not having made a name for yourself already

[@84Elenai]

32:30, no It can be a positive emotion, a positive point of view about something that's usually portrait as negative, as Jerry said. Think about the Bill Hicks "positive drug story on the news" (Today a young man on acid realized...). That's a good example of a "positive" point of view - I guess, I am no expert.

Holy smokes double vaccinated thank you for protecting us all

[@AddictedtoProfit]

Shut up

[@amysson5151]

Jerry-great comedy tips, always look forward to hearing them. But Sleepy Joe was a waste of your time...and I’m non-political. I don’t have a dog in the fight, but history is showing him to be one of our worst presidents. He makes Trump look like one of our best presidents. Anyway, keep the tips coming, and good job to you, too, Hot Breath!

[@electrickrain]

You're political. Stop lying to yourself because you're not fooling people
