Oooh it's been many years since we've really been into standup. Mostly when we were a kid and watched Just for Laughs and such on TV and most of it was absolute garbage. Though, having seen some Three Stooges clips recently that shit actually holds up and is good.

Either kind of style is definitely capable of being very funny, we grew up on the Simpsons after all. But we have really strong editor brain when like a gag comic hits our eyes because so many of them are constrained by the format into just ruining their own jokes and we'll start going over how it could be made actually good. Comedy is entirely a matter of delivery for the most part. We're naturally boke as hell for the most part but have come to appreciate the tsukomi in our lives. You're actually pretty good at it, better than we are.

However, when it comes to writing comedy, we barely know where to start and so we tend to weave it into things we write naturally as the absurdity of people and life is just part of our world view, and to that end dry and character-based comedy is king. On Cinema is just an incredible project back to front and an inspiration. We and some friends in the know quote the Tim Heidecker standup routine a lot and it's just nonsense like "any foodies in the audience?" that isn't funny outside of a ton of context.
