Observations from studying the comedian Russel Howard.
Stretching analogies Using language/motion/figure do describe something on the opposite end of the spectrum Take, for instance, age: 5Y/O: &ldquo;cheers mum, wasen&rsquo;t on my to-do list&rdquo; A surprisingly sentimental dog: &ldquo;because when I wake up tomorrow I want to see you, and I want to go for a lovely walk&rdquo; Large motions + deadpan after Endless extrapolations of a normal setup: setup: Russian hackers were controlling people&rsquo;s toys; punchline: &ldquo;5 men were dildo&rsquo;d to death, we don&rsquo;t have a recording but here are their final words &mdash; &lsquo;oh yeaaah&rsquo;, &lsquo;oh fuck yeaaah&rsquo;&rdquo; Setup: gweneth paltro Punchline: &ldquo;put an egg up there, you will feel more femenine. no! you will feel like a chicken&rdquo;
Multiple use of setups: &ldquo;happy birthday too you&rdquo; Peach
