Writing Comedy For Business – Beware Of The Committee

Writing comedy for businesses is not easy. A lot of businesses actually stay away from it because they’re worried about the messaging and offending someone. Plus when a business attempts to make a comedy, it’s usually shot down, changed or ruined in a way that takes everything funny out of it. I myself have had a few scripts that needed to be passed onto others that didn’t turn out the way I had planned them. This is mainly because you can’t share comedy through paper, unless you’re telling a series of knock knock jokes, but then honestly, we’re at work! There’s no time for knock knock jokes!

Here is a video of Tim Washer talking about his expenses writing comedy for business, and I mean big business like Microsoft and Cisco. Tim talks about how you should share your ideas and why you should work with a small group.
