Comedy Ghetto/Quotes

""Being gloomy is easier than being cheerful. Anybody can say "I've got cancer" and get a rise out of a crowd. But how many of us can do five minutes of good stand-up comedy?""

- P.J. O'Rouke, All The Trouble In The World.

"Everyone knows comedy is the lowest form of entertainment, next to animation."

- Trixie Tang, animated comedy character.

""Comedy is pure: If the audience laughs, it works; if it doesn't laugh, it doesn't work. End of discussion. That's why critics hate comedy; there's nothing to say.""

- Robert Mc Kee, Story

"And if you're in comedy filmmaking to begin with, artistic integrity is a relative value easy to disregard."

- The Ultimate Disney.com review of Chipwrecked
