Sometimes you’ll be able to pinpoint the influence of your character’s sense of humor – “Hey my friend would have made a joke like that!”
Humor – one time everyone in the theater simultaneously laughed in unison – it was when the voice recognition software didn’t recognize the Russian Guy’s command because of his accent. It was clear that the reason everyone laughed was because each of them has had a frustrating experience with voice recognition. In fact on the way to the movie theater I didn’t know the address so I called a toll free directory to get it and the damn machine couldn’t understand what I was saying. After four attempts I finally hung up and went to a different theater. It’s the universal experience that strikes a cord with the audience.
Funny: when spock says It’d be self-serving to say to his younger self “Live long and prosper.”
