This class is about reverse-engineering your ability to laugh into an ability to create a joke. We turn your ability to explain what's funny about other people's jokes into an ability to write jokes, by tricking your brain into explaining what's funny about a joke that doesn't exist yet.

a man was walking down the street
he saw a chicken standing there
going "cluck, cluck, cluck!"
so he says to the chicken
"cluck! cluck! cluck!"
an th chicken says
"cluck, cluck, cluck."
so the man gets into it,
he goes, like,
"cluck! cluck! cluck!" "cluck! cluck! cluck!"
the chicken stops, looks up at the man and
drops a load of chicken shit.
the man thinks, wow,
wonder if it'll do that again and says
"cluck! cluck! cluck!" "cluck! cluck! cluck!"
the chicken stops, looks up at the man and says,
"cluck! cluck! cluck!" "cluck! cluck! cluck!" "cluck! cluck! cluck!" "cluck! cluck! cluck!"
the man shits in his pants!
now you know why the chicken crossed the road.
