Comedy Writing Secrets



More exercises from Mel Helitzer's Comedy Writing Secrets

Complete the ole lightbulb joke in a triple:


How many Politicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Three: One senator to hold the ladder, one house member to screw in the bulb, and one president to veto the electric bill.

How many lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb? It takes three: one to draw up the papers, one to fall off the ladder, and one to sue.

How many doctors does it take to change a lightbulb? Three: one to stand on the ladder, one to hold up the bulb, and one to charge you an arm and a leg.

How many LA Cops does it take to change a lightbulb? Three: One to hold the ladder, one to screw in the bulb, and one to lie to internal affairs. 

How many auto mechanics does it take to change a lightbulb? Three: one to hold the ladder, one to screw in the bulb, and one to lube the chassis for $49.99


Finish these: 

Someone did a study of the three most often heard phrases in NYC. One is “hey taxi.” Two is “What train do I take to get to Bloomingdales?” And three is… “Take the friggin’ taxi to Bloomingdales.” 

I like Florida; everything is in the eighties: the temperature, the ages, and…remaining teeth.  

Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong, and… willing to wipe up after.

Making love to a woman is like buying real estate…the best part is getting rid of the for sale sign.
