The Thick of It - Coffee With We in It
Comedy is an iterative thing where you don't quite know what's funny until you've found it. Moseur steartle talks about this very interestingly. You say, one of the reasons why san' stand up people rehearse is they will dick around withn the last sentence. And there's something about the cadence that we understand instinctively that makes it funny and proper. The first person i remember hearing this from was douglas adams. He used to read sentences and paragraphs of p g Woodhouse and try and disentangle what it was bout the precise word order that made them funny.
