If I ever write comedy, a genre I think would be extremely difficult to write effectively, I intend to include the following snippet:
Was watching America's Funniest Videos with my 4 year old son yesterday. He enjoys watching this if only because it is one of the few shows that he's allowed to watch. As we watched we saw clip after clip of people falling. After each fall Price would say, "What happened?" That is until the very end.
Show: Woman slips on the ice.
Price asks: "What happened?"
Show: Dog slips and falls in a lake.
Price asks: "What happened?"
Show: Man slips and stumbles on the sidewalk.
Price asks: "What happened?"
Show: Bride falls during her wedding dance.
Price asks: "What happened?"
Show: Girl slips in her hallway.
Price asks: "What happened?"
Show: Lion turns and pees on a crowd watching him at the zoo.
Price asks: "Did you see that! That was gross! He peed all over them."
I thought it was interesting that after every fall, whether simple or complex, Price asked the same question. But when he saw the lion pee, he knew exactly what was going on.
By the way, the clip immediately after the lion was another fall. Price's question? What happened. Consistency is key son.
