>I realized there was a formula to that makes something funny. Specifically, the formula is this: You need at least two of what I call the six dimensions of humor
Clever: “You recognize clever when you see it. It’s just combining things that people didn’t think you were going to combine, but yet you somehow made it work.”
Naughty: “Naughty is usually just sex or bathroom jokes.”
Bizarre: “Bizarre just means two things out of place.”
Cruel: “Cruelty is a staple in humor. Cruel just means something bad happened to somebody or you said something unkind to somebody. You know cruel when you see it.”
Cute: “Cute is usually just kids and animals.”
Recognizable: “Humor usually requires that you recognize something about the subject of the joke being like your experience or like yourself. It’s either like somebody you know, like you, but has to be familiar. Something you recognize.”
