Chat GPT is a turbo charger for the Comedy DNA approach. Instead of burning brain cells and motivation to list out stuff you now can spend your time connecting the dots. I've been asking chat GPT to list 50 Celebs related to a subject, 50 cliches related to a subject, 50 facts... Jerry I have owned a copy of Breaking Comedy's DNA for 6 years and I just could not gain momentum with it... I feel like I'm flying at light speed now matching it up with Chat GPT... Thank you, thank you, thank you

[@JerryCorley]

Wow! That’s great to hear. Great idea too! Thanks for sharing this comment with me.

[@TrentBabbComedy]

Didn't know how to use AI to help my writing, now I do, thanks Jerry! Keep 'em coming!

[@scottshanahan3827]

This video is so good. I was avoiding ai for comedy writing, but this is a great way to incorporate it.

[@Iza-zou]

Thank god strippers exist, otherwise we would have only 2 jokes left here 😂👍

[@siddeshpai9728]

AmaIng video. Thanks, Jerry! The listing technique is a game changer. I love how you make up jokes as you're teaching us lol.

[@Ben.Standup]

Thanks you very much doc

[@BrianWillott-m8z]

Awesome, great ideas!

[@linaalvaa]

Looking so good, Jerry!

[@JerryCorley]

Thanks! I’ve been parting my hair on the opposite side

[@be.perfect]

very interesting, thanks. you mention the importance of joke structure a few times, do you have a video on that please ? I couldn't find it !

[@JerryCorley]

I’ll work on a video showing the unique differences between a set done without and with structure

[@be.perfect]

@@JerryCorley cool ! that sounds interesting ! and help us understand how to do the bloody structure at some point too maybe 😛😛

[@SkoobadoobaChoo]

New to this channel, you should do a video on using all 24 methods to finding material. Not sure if you’ve got a video on that, but would be cool.

[@JerryCorley]

That’s a great idea!

[@StarlynRamirez]

Esto es Oro! gracias lider!

[@JerryCorley]

!Estoy honrado!

I had been glued to your web page waiting for you to come back to Vegas so I could take a course and somehow I missed that you'll be here. I'm so disappointed I'll be out of town and have to wait again. 😢

Excellent video! Always loved the listing technique, but I do have one thing lingering in my mind... would you agree that even though we have ChatGPT at our disposal, it would be better to make the lists ourselves? I feel like it trains our mind to think about these different ideas related to one thing, and that could help with having a quick flow of ideas, maybe even on stage for instance, if you're crowdworking and wanna say something witty. The AI's definitely efficient and could expedite our joke writing, but I feel like training the mind to think might be a better option. I'm open to your ideas on this!

[@JerryCorley]

Good point. I did put a segment in about building the original list from your own mind, because you’ll come up with stuff that ChatGPT can’t because it doesn’t have conscience, a heart or a soul. But ChatGPT is like a thesaurus, a dictionary or a rhyming dictionary.

[@NamitComedy]

@@JerryCorley I see I see, you’re right about that. I guess as long as we use it to assist and not replace, it’s all good. Makes sense. Thanks Jerry!

[@noahmilam]

Chat gpt is a game changer for researching ideas. I’m glad people are using it.

[@Iza-zou]

Totally !

[@YourUdderBrudder]

If you could tailor a series of videos to content creators I think you could be really successful on this KZbin channel. Love your book, love your content!

[@JerryCorley]

Great idea Dallas! I’ll research that angle

[@davidemiable]

I really like this video so many good ideas. I use ChatGPT to generate ideas for scenarios for improv. It’s really good. One thing …. I think it would’ve been good if the video didn’t use examples relating to strippers etc.. (blue) because it would’ve been better for a wider audience. That’s just my opinion and I don’t mean any disrespect. Really appreciate your generosity sharing your expertise

[@JerryCorley]

There were other non-stripper jokes. I don’t limit myself especially in the first pass with material and you shouldn’t either. I’m a joke writer, not a priest.

“Everytime I hear about rain in the forecast I always think OH!…there’s a 30% chance that my favorite stripper is going to show up this afternoon between 6 and 9pm” Ehh!!?? Ahhh!!??

[@JerryCorley]

Nice!

[@marinadavis1841]

Could you please include more “clean” examples in your videos for a wider audience? Thanks! I like your videos but the sex jokes take over your examples.

I wonder if this is how 247newsroom writes their scripts?

[@JerryCorley]

All television newsrooms mostly write their scripts from printed news media. They take those stories and rewrite them to be spoken rather than read. I wouldn’t be surprised if they use some kind of AI for that purpose. With joke writing, I use the listing technique for writing Late Night T.V. style jokes but then I would revise the joke to fit the voice of the host
