[@HotBreathPod]

We're loving these Jerry keep 'em coming!

[@JerryCorley]

Thanks, Joel! Let’s do something together again soon!

[@VICTORIAMAKESYOULAUGH]

he is awesome! How does he not have way more followers and views?

[@shempone]

Thank you so much for this. I did a joke list yesterday, it was totally shit, but I still did it. It’s the process. Today is new day

[@JonasSkogstroll]

I have been listening to your videos ever now and then for the past two years. I remember the first time hearing you said “writers block» thinking, yes that’s a real thing. Today when I heard you say «writersblock» I thought; how is that even possible. Material is everywhere! Thanx for all the tips. ❤

[@aranorbruce]

Great! Another one; great to see you back again, Jerry!

[@JerryCorley]

Thanks, man! It’s what I love to do!

[@da8675]

🤣🤣 now, calling me an asshole (because I was actually thinking the remarks you suspected) really did make me laugh.

[@MarkJanov]

Love the callback

[@marybaker8061]

I've got to tell you, I just ordered my laptop so I can create joke logs, word banks, and get my show on the road! Thanks to you, my friend! When is the next night beginning class? I'm really making plans to get work around so I may focus on this!

Constriction enhances creativity helps a lot in photography too. Most beginner photographers want a zoom lens when a fixed non-zoom lens can be their best friend.

Excellent video Jerry. Thank you so much! Happy Father's Day!

[@chickenjoeclark]

Appreciate you Doc!!

[@AccountingInstruction]

Good stuff. I like when you just run through examples like this, so we get an idea of how your mind is processing through all the great tools you have put together and shared.

[@michaelsix9684]

such great helpful hints on doing the craft of comedy

[@RKC199D]

Mom: Wait until your father comes home Son: Mom, it's been three years he's not coming

[@MarkJanov]

Lol. Just started learning. Your giving me some good info to get me started in the right direction

[@noahmilam]

"Im demonstrating the processes so dont be an asshole" - Jerry my new favorite quote

[@bobbybigz3408]

Yes amazing

[@Kaerusss]

Appreciate it, Jerry! Thanks, not just for the techniques but the words to motivate. Powerful stuff!

[@JerryCorley]

Happy to hear that it helps to motivate and inform. Go get it!

[@VICTORIAMAKESYOULAUGH]

Thank you! You are amazing! I am not sure why you don't have more followers but people are truly missing out. Btw I tried looking you up on twitter and I couldn't find you.

[@JerryCorley]

Hi Victoria! Did you look up @jokedoctor?

[@aranorbruce]

"Constriction" is like the river-bed; the canyon of earth & stone that *is* the force of resistance _neccessary_ to drive the waters from the mountain to the sea... Or the jokes from the Mind to the paper! 😁👍

[@JerryCorley]

Very poetic! Love that analogy!

[@blackgirlmotivatespodcast]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@JerryCorley]

I’m glad you found it helpful.

[@ttbb1446]

Great video! Would love to see a video on how to come up with punchlines. I've noticed in longer bits comedians will weave in multiple punchlines as well if the premise is too long so they have 2 or 3 smaller laughs until the big punchline. And then even after the big laugh they have another quick tag to keep them laughing. Any advice is appreciated, thanks for all you do!

[@Scottfowlerishere]

Another masterclass! Thank you. My kids got me another Neck tie for Father’s Day, I think my wife helped them pick it because it was a noose.

[@RogelimDS]

This is so good. I appreciated you and your even green content Jerry.

[@JerryCorley]

Hi Rogelim! Great to hear from you! Thanks for the comment!

[@theexteriorminister6786]

Awesome video 📹, Jerry! I needed to watch this, as I've been a bit stuck in my joke writing ✍ as of late. This was the shot in the arm I needed. 👍💥💯🙏

[@JerryCorley]

Happy to hear that. Hope it inspires you to start cranking out new material.

[@warlockwesley]

Can you do a tutorial about the pro's & con's of doing Ethnic humor.

[@FLPnotc]

Your tha man!

[@marybaker8061]

You're fantastic, let the naysayers nay say and forget a'bout em! You always make me laugh, Jerry! ❤

[@michaelsix9684]

comedy is a craft, the more you do it the better you get, writing is the same way

[@bruceyako]

Comedy can be written, so "writing" and comedy are not mutuallly exclusive

[@charliedcomedy]

My colorblind friend and I were meeting up at a motel to come up with some comedy material..... I called him..... " hey I made reservations for the Orange Roof Inn"

[@justinstorm]

Do you have a tool like this for writing stories, like a half-hour episode

[@jamesscouten2966]

This is all gold. Pee in a Gatorade bottle at 65 hit me hard.

[@stevesomers7366]

Great video, Jerry! Loved the joke about your friend's Dad teaching him to pee in a Gatorade bottle while doing 65. Made me laugh out loud too. Reminds me of something my Dad would do...could write a whole set on that alone! Cheers!

[@MetaverseMike]

Whats up doc? I recently did my first open mic. last night actually. I used many of your vids to help get me acclimated to actually writing jokes. so thank you for that. One quick question tho...Im writing subtitles for the crap vid i got of it and there is one joke where I use the words peaked/peeked in a joke where you think i mean peaked but it turns out I meant peeked. How should I write it for subtitles?

[@JerryCorley]

Thanks for the comment Mike. With regard to the the subtitles, I kinda know what you’re talking about. I would probably use quotation marks for the misdirected version of “peaked” (peeked) Then no quotes when it’s revealed that you are using peeked. I have a similar dilemma with a joke I do where the wordplay is Marry / Mary. “I was so taken aback by the size of her boobs, I named them [indicating the left breast)] ‘Marry’ [INDICATING THE RIGHT BREAST] Me.” You could also indicate in brackets [PLAY ON THE WORD Peeked]. But because it’s not dialogue and it’s subtitles for a stand up monologue, I would just use the quotes. I hope this helps

[@MetaverseMike]

@@JerryCorley Thank you!

[@SatnamSingh-wz8yg]

Keep uploading this type of videos sir love from india 🙏😍❤

[@TonyTheSharkBaloney]

LOL!

[@PrafullAgarwal]

The jokes are not funny but in between when he said don't be an asshole😂😂😂that was something

[@JerryCorley]

Out of context they might not be funny to you, because I’m just reading them, but I’ve tested those jokes in front of several audiences and they work. The audience is always the final judge. Maybe you’re one of those people that need to hear an audience’s laughter to determine whether something’s funny or not. You should be a talent coordinator. 😂

[@PrafullAgarwal]

@@JerryCorley I am not saying that jokes will not work out but it is just a kind of improv which you done that what I were trying to appreciate

[@dawngrabowski]

Happy Father's Day! Oh you didn't know you were a father well the Google search finally helped me track you down! Yeah, you can run, but you can hide! Isn't technology wonderful!

[@JerryCorley]

Hahaha! Hi Dawn! Very funny!

[@MrJohneric6000]

Helpful and practical advice. Thank you Jerry!

[@JonasSkogstroll]

I notice there is a lot of ahole comedians. People that offend the audience, have offensive material, hit on drunk women and basically act presidential. (The meaning of this word is currently changing) It would be interesting to hear your take on this, and you probably have some stories to tell. How to dess as l with this without getting frustrated I guess it’s a good thing to go up after them… there is a lot of buildt up tension in the room

[@da8675]

Yeah, the dad's and grads bundling, I thought, was a good angle. Maybe as commercial as the car and home insurance bundling.

[@bruceyako]

Since many kids these days are growing up without fathers, I don't make Dad jokes anymore, not because I'm a softy, but Dad jokes are just Unrelatable...
