Anybody like observational humor, like Jerry Seinfeld? I love it.
Let’s try some. Remember the cardinal rule of observational humor: It has to start with “What’s the deal with…” or “Didja ever notice…”.
Didja ever notice that James Bond has slept with almost every woman on the planet, but he never gets any STDs or has any children? What kind of condom is he using? And you know that some of these women run into each other eventually. I mean, how effective is he going to be as a spy when all the women in the world are hunting him down?
What’s the deal with Tonto, from the Lone Ranger? Don’t you think he would have picked up some more advanced language skills over the years? He never quite mastered the words “I” or “You”, did he? It was always, “Tonto get Kemo Sabe water for horse.” If he took the trouble to learn every other word in the language, why not learn some pronouns? The Lone Ranger always spoke with perfect grammar, but Tonto never picked it up!
