Dino and the gang at Whiskey Business sat down with Jon Osbeck and Ralph Scott to get a preview of THE HALF HOUR COMEDY (that’s only 15 minutes), a comedic endeavor which involved a cavalcade of talent that included everyone at Whiskey Business.

But then the conversation turned (as it often does) into the semantics of comedy: What’s funny? Why is it funny? Can funny be taught? And a whole lot more.
Enjoy!
“What’s funny?” Michael Loftus! that’s what’s funny,,,, no but really,,,,,
Ill tell you what’s funny….. “Ism’s” are what’s funny…. cynicism, skepticism, pessimism, sadomasochism, intuitionism, sexy heathenism,, the list goes on and on,,, if there’s an ism behind it,,, its probably funny…. an A to J of isms….. (uncomfortable pause)
and then there’s “Asm’s”, sarcasm, over enthusiasm, orgasm, and many more….
when’s the last time your heard an orgasm joke and didn’t laugh???? even uncomfortably???? lol,, i rest my case
isms and asms,, a veritable “his” and “hers” of comedy where everyone is satisfied????….
By the way, i deserve a free bottle of Benchmark for sitting here watching this video. i thought it was supposed to be 15 minutes????
Asm’s and ism’s are indeed funny.
