grabs a dog & starts eating it – frame it as a dramatic scene where his vulnerability is shown & his willpower is tested… then the dogs owner happens by… for best effect, its a cute kid.

In the context of UnDad, it could be a scene where Dad is depserately trying to hide his living-inpared condition during a job interview, and the interviewers are completely oblivious & super OTT PC etc & just assume he’s got a skin condition & is a bit ‘special’ & go out of their way to hire him, whilst going out of their way to frame his brain eating urges is an affirmative-action, ‘we’re all totally open mideded and accepting of things, coz were so PC & stuff’ way.Ĭrossing the line stuff can be harder to pull off, but can be the best.Įg: dad is fighting the zombie urge, and just snaps.

The funniest stuff, in my opinion, falls into two categories – things that arent inherently funny, but are ridiculous in the given context, & things that cross the line twice. Perhaps you just have a type of humor that doesnt translate to what you’re trying to do?
