Research Progress
Started writing the research proposal. I'm heading into the direction of comedy writing, something along the lines "what makes funny writing." By jotting down ideas, it helped me formulate thoughts and get the project going. Best resource I got so far was uncyclopedia's How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid which can be found here. It talks about how to make funny uncyclopedia (which is a parody of wikipedia) articles. I found it interesting because it uses a variety of different genres of comedy "writing" incuding satire, lists, pictures, stupidity, truth and quotes. Once again, I'll try to formulate all of the questions and ideas as I write the research proposal.

The Uncyclopedia's "How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid" seems like a great resource but it in and of itself is hilarious at times. This is my first time seeing it. Thanks. Satyrical comedy is one of my favorite forms of comedy. Wikipedia is an easy and valid target.
ReplyDeleteSo... where is the "issue"? I think this is something you keep in mind as you begin your proposal process.
