10 different types of comedy you might want to try writing, and where to find them if you would rather read them

Here is a list of ten different types of comedy. You could try them out in your own writing, or just go read them if you want a good laugh.

Witticisms and Wordplay

I'm genuinely wondering if Discworld will be the example for every type of comedy. Terry Pratchett's fantastic fantasy series is definitely the best example for this one though. His work was full of hilarious puns.

This won't work in narration in a serious book, but you could have a pun in dialogue if you have a character that fits the role of pun-isher. (This is where you groan).

2. Satire

Pratchett could be here, too, but another great modern satirist is the inimitable Chuck Tingle. Oh, no, now I'm gonna get Pounded in The Butt By My Blog Post That Mentioned Chuck Tingle.

Satire is difficult to write well (ask me how I know) and very difficult to insert into a serious story as a tension breaker. If you want to write satire, you're best making the entire story satirical. You may want to check out books by Terry Pratchett (of course) but also Jerome K Jermore, PG Wodehouse, and online newssites like The Onion.

3. Parody

Far more common in movies than books, there are some books that fit the Parody type. Later Discworld novels stopped being parodies but the earlier ones definitely fit this genre. Then there are funny little one-offs like Bored of the Rings, and of course more Chuck Tingle offers like Trans Wizard Harriet Porber And The Bad Boy Parasaurolophus. Parody is generally better suited to being the contents of an entire book, and there is the danger that if you try to parody something in one scene in an otherwise serious novel, you could look like you are plagiarising.

4. Observational Comedy

Er, Discworld. Again. Observational Comedy looks at everyday life and notes the inherent silliness of things society considers normal. There are two ways to do this in fantasy novels. The first, as Pratchett did, is to observe our world, and make that into a joke, like with the Discworld's Personal Disorganiser. The second is to observe your own fictional world, and make a joke that comments on that somehow. You could easily have a character do this, yet it isn't something I see done very often.

5. Sitcom

Sitcoms are TV shows. But why aren't they also books? A sitcom is a situation comedy - the humour derives from the situation. There are lots of humorous situations in books. I don't really understand how sitcom came to mean one very specific thing when it could easily mean other things too (every other genre seems to include TV shows, books, and movies, but this one is only TV shows).

6. Absurdism

An orangutan librarian. Honestly. Discworld made the list again, as did Chuck Tingle. But with books like The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse Robert Rankin really needs to be noted here, too. This is probably not something you could include in a serious novel. Then again, maybe you can find a way to make it work.

7. Improvisational Comedy

When you're a pantser and you write a joke...

8. Blue Comedy

Not really something found in Discworld, blue comedy is risque, or sexy. Better sticking to Chuck Tingle for this. Can you put a sex joke in a serious book? Absolutely. But finding a clit is easier than finding an example of it done well. Not that finding a clit is difficult, guys.

9. Dark Comedy

Dark Comedy came through the Discworld in many of the scenes that feature Death. In particular, the line "I got m' potato," always struck me as fantastically dark. Joe Abercrombie allegedly writes great dark comedy in his serious fantasy books (I haven't read them, but I've heard there are very funny moments). You could easily incorporate this into your serious novel with the right character.

10. Comedy Music

Oh, I don't think Pratchett really did this one. There was Music With Rocks In, but as I recall he didn't really go into detail in the lyrics. I love comedy music. One of my favourite parts of Name of the Wind is when Kvothe writes Jackass Jackass about Ambrose. Even better, some fans wrote the lyrics, and music (Patrick Rothfuss didn't), and then performed it and put it online. There are various interpretations - this is my favourite. If your character is a bard, you could easily include something like this in a more serious type of book.

Summary

With serious novels, the humour is most often through the characters, through dialogue and so on. Some of the above types of humour won't work in these situations, others are easy to put in with the right characters. If you want to explore your options, why not try a humorous short story?

How do I know satire is hard to write well?

I'm unfortunately a satirist.

It's uncurable, I'm afraid.

My satire of capitalism, Noun of Noun and Adjective, is on now on Tumblr.

I looked up Rankin just now, and while I’m not currently in the right mood for The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse, I am delighted that a book with that title was commercially successful, and what’s more was published by Gollancz (the house that first published Gaudy Night and other classics).

The Robert Rankin ss is from his personal FB account, where he comments the allegations about Neil Gaiman.

[ntlibrary]

Happy Fiction Friday!  Monday evening we’re hosting an activity night for the winning read for NT’s schools—The Chocolate Touch, so we’ve gone a bit chocolate-crazy.  Enjoy these chocolate-laced books for bigger kids (after you reread Catling’s novel, of course):

The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse ~by Robert Rankin: If you like your chocolate full of serial killers, noir, and more than slightly perverse, this is the book for you.

Like Water for Chocolate~ by Laura Esquirel: Like John Midas, Tita has food-based magic in this classic tale of a chef growing up in turn-of-the-century Mexico.  Plus, it’s full of recipes you’ll want to make, immediately.

Inside Charlie’s Chocolate Factory: The complete story of Willy Wonka, the golden ticket, and Roald Dahl’s Greatest creation ~by Lucy Mangan:  Did you know that Dahl’s famous book was adapted into an opera, computer games, and, yes, candy?  Find out just how much pop culture one book can create. 

The Sweetest Spell ~by Suzanne Selfors: When outcast Emmeline discovers that she can make chocolate from milk in a world where the confection is more prized than gold, her entire world changes.

 Want more books to satisfy your sweet tooth? Cookbooks maybe?  Some cozy mysteries?  Check out our display at the round table!

What's the weirdest book you've ever read? Mine is probably "hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse."

Probably both Impressions of Africa and Locus Solus by Raymond Roussel. Like being weird is sort of their entire schtick because he was a crazy person, but reading English translations of them adds an additional layer of incomprehensibility. I couldn’t even tell you which one was better because they all feel like an oncoming migraine. 

Also I recently reread A Disease of Language by Alan Moore, which is a sort of delirious illustrated stream of consciousness. I don't care about comic books but I loved Voice of the Fire. I have attempted and failed to read Jerusalem for like six years straight but. It will happen. 

Also runner up is all Brian Catling books because he is most beloved and most deeply unhinged author.

[himboskywalker]

Hey Tag, just wanted to thank you for that absolute masterpiece of a chapter, Anakin nutting and Obi-Wan’s stunned “..did you just..?” 😂 perfection! Thank you for writing for us! It’s been a while since I’ve read something that was this captivating and wasn’t a SW fanfic - sad I know lol. I was wondering if maybe you had any must-read novel recommendations? As a teen I used to devour books but I’m 24 now and adult books are pure boring! (Please write a novel, your writing is just stunning!)

❤️❤️❤️😭Thank you so much. I would love to write my own novel one day. I have an entire trunk of my own handwritten work that probably amounts to at least 2 or 3 but it’s a matter of finding the motivation around the very fun sandbox of Star Wars fanfiction lol And I entirely feel you! Sometimes finding adult books that are of the same caliber of interesting as teen while having a higher reading and prose level can be difficult,but I do have a few I can recommend!

The Princess Bride by William Goldman-While I think this one technically counts as teen it’s an absolute classic and one of my absolute favorites. It’s riotously funny and just so endearing and interesting. If you’ve seen the movie and think the book can’t be that different think again,there’s a multi level underground zoo,a multi-page rant about hats,and some killer descriptions on wrestling.

Anything by Neil Gaiman,seriously. I always recommend to start with Good Omens which is co-written by Terry Pratchett. It will put you in tears it’s so funny and there isn’t a dull page in the book. American Gods by Gaiman is another of my favorites that’s wonderful to start with. It’s a bit darker but all kinds of intriguing with some phenomenally cool characters.

The Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett-You can pick up almost any book from this series out of order and start with. Pratchett has this way of writing that is just so endearingly fun and captivating and it makes you feel like a kid again from what a scream his stories are. My favorite from Discworld is the Monstrous Regiment because it’s basically space Mulan meets Pirates of the Caribbean meets Princess Bride.

The hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse by Robert Rankin-Rankin has a very similar vibe to Pratchett and Gaiman and this is a retelling of fairytales and nursery rhymes through the lens of a 20s noir fantasy detective style. It’s just supremely fun and intriguing and it’ll have you backtracking to reread stuff you missed with a manic grin.

Redshirts by John Scalzi-If you like Star Trek you’ll love this. It’s a satirical and very on the nose,breaking the fourth wall story of an ensign on a starship who realizes all the redshirts on the ship die on every mission. It’s not literature but it is a ridiculously fun read.

Wild Cards edited by George R. R. Martin-I know Martin gets a rap for how dark and gritty his writing is by people who don’t like that sort of thing but if you don’t like Game of Thrones don’t fear. Before Martin got into his fantasy war of the roses retellings he wrote a lot of sci-fi and has been a big name in the genre for a long time. Wild Cards is a whole series of novels but the anthology is what you start with,a collection of short stories from all sorts of well known sci-fi authors from the 80s. The Wild Card universe is an alternate history universe where an alien virus hits earth after WWII and gives people superpowers. It’s set in the 40s-80s and is steampunk meets Captain America meets Star Wars and the universe is such high adventure incredible fun.

Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan-If you watched the Netflix series don’t be fooled by thinking you don’t need to read the book. Morgan has a way of twisting cyberpunk sci-fi with 20s detective noir genre hallmarks that makes for a scream of an aesthetic read. The story is just so interesting and Morgan’s writing will suck you in. I don’t even like 1st person pov but this book is very easy to forgive for it.

Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie-Listen this book *shakes fist* this book. Leckie,if you’re not huge in the sci-fi world,with this book took the genre by Storm a few years ago and swept almost every major book award in 2014. It’s hard sci-fi written wickedly sharp with incredible pacing and it will have you sweating and breathing hard from how tense of a read it is. Leckie is just a genuinely phenomenal writer and if you even half like sci-fi I always recommend her for how gripping she is.

The Martian and Artemis by Andy Weir-Another favorite sci-fi author of mine. Weir somehow combines the heart-hammering tenseness of Leckie and the sheer hilarity of Pratchett and Gaiman. His books are wicked smart and sharp and perfunctory,with a delightful dry humor to them that is so incredibly grounding and human. Weir is actually who got me really into sci-fi after I got out of ya and he can really make you fall in love with the genre.

Vonnegut-Literally anything by him. He may be considered literature now and if you read Slaughterhouse Five in school and was turned off from him don’t let it color your opinion of all his writings. Slaughterhouse is his most famous but it’s not my favorite by him. I always recommend the Sirens of Titan as an intro to him. It’s an astoundingly gripping read and is one of those books I read in one sitting because I literally couldn’t put it down. Vonnegut writes the best kind of absurd that will have you laughing one second and horrified the next and he’s one of the few American canon lit authors that I agree counts as modern literature.

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell-Another one that’s considered modern lit that I actually agree with! Don’t let that scare you though,because it’s also metaphysical sci-fi and much like Vonnegut and his crazy space metaphysical stories,it will have you in tears laughing one minute and then actual tears the next. I’m a huge fan of Mitchell in general,he’s an Irish author who I think has just astoundingly beautiful writing and I think he’s a master storyteller. But Cloud Atlas is what I always recommend to start with,even if you saw the Wachowskis’ film of it.

The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques-This Series is a classic and the paperbacks May technically be on a children’s publisher but don’t let that fool you,because the reading level is certainly high enough for adults. For anyone who was obsessed with Warrior Cats as a kid like me,this is just the adult version and set in a medieval universe. You have friar mice and Scottish claymore wielding squirrels. You’ve got pirate otters and clans of feuding foxes and evil scourging rats. These books are just so supremely well written and classic storytelling and so dear to my heart.

Circe by Madeline Miller-You might recognize Miller from getting well known on online spaces with her Song Of Achilles because who doesn’t want the true gay rendition of Achilles and Patroclus. Contrary to everyone else I don’t like that one. But I do highly recommend her newer publication Circe for how beautiful it’s written and riveting the story is. I didn’t sleep the night I read it because I couldn’t put it down until I read it cover to cover.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness-I recommend this one to any of you vampire lovers out there who,like me,was in middle school for the days of Twilight. Harkness’s story combines vampires witches and demons in a dazzling behind the scenes universe of the supernatural. The trilogy is sexy,well written,and this very deeply endears it to me because Harkness is a historian and so there’s time travel too. It’s a wildly endulgant and fun series that hits so many of my loves and is basically every embarrassing supernatural teen romance we loved but with more sex and violence.

(aaa, thank you!)

15) five most influential books over your lifetimeOkay, so this is so tricky to answer, so HERE GOES.

I loathe to say this, but almost certainly one of the Harry Potter books. I’m gonna say Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I was midway through reading this one aged 7/8 when I realised that writing books was a thing you could do for money. As a job. That potentially I could get a job writing books too. Since then, I’ve wanted to be a writer, and that’s influenced the vast majority of grown-up decisions I’ve made.

A Hat Full of Sky, Terry Pratchett. This was the first Pratchett book I read (yes, I read the Tiffany series in the wrong order). I loved it. I’ve been a fan of his ever since, and I was devastated when he died. I’ve got a Witches-inspired tattoo on my shoulder that says “I ATEN’T DEAD”

The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, Walter Moers. An anthropomorphic bear chronicles half of his life. It’s whimsical and wonderful, and you really can just dive in at any “life” without really reading the rest. His best friend is called Qwerty Uiop. 

Animal Farm, George Orwell. Look, I’m a basic bitch, and I love George Orwell. I’ve been to see his grave. AF was the first of his books I read, aged like... 9? My dad left it lying around and I’d read it before anyone could stop me. There was a piggy on the cover, dammit!

The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse, Robert Rankin. Yes, its just as silly as the title sounds. My nana bought this for me when we were shopping while my parents were at court getting divorced. It’s stupid, and fun, and it got me through the divorce (that, and killing Sims)

21) Do you love easily?

Ohh, this is another hard one. I think - depends on the kind of love? I get crushes easily, and I think I find it easy to get into comfortable, oh-man-i-love-you spaces with people. 

In terms of things, then very much so - like I go from “meh” to “obsessed” with a thing in seconds, and then I can’t stop thinking about it. 

29) Three songs that you connect with right now

*checks spotify listening history*

Elsa’s Song, The Amazing Devil. Okay, I know how this looks. But other than the fact that it’s Joey Batey’s band, this song is haunting and lovely and wistful and sad and makes me feel like I’m walking towards a haunted castle in the middle of a misty moor. I could have said any one of their songs, really, but this is the one that keeps getting stuck in my head.

Mr. Blue, Catherine Feeny. The song that played over the ending credits of the final episode of Bojack. It’s that good happy-sad feeling, and makes me cry.

My Dog’s Eyes, Zammuto. This is a really sweet little electronic track, and it’s lovely. You'll notice yourself smiling with delight over things you once paid no attention to

Tag Game

Rules: Answer 11 questions - Add 11 of your own - Tag 11 people 

I was tagged by the lovely @mandelene

1) If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? 

Well, considering I get this offer once or twice every year, I’ve already been to most of the places I’d want to go, but if I had to pick right now.... Probably Canada or Australia, not been there yet.

2) What’s your favorite type of music to listen to? 

A weird concoction of orchestral and rock, plus a long list of video game music too, like right now, I’m listening to Divinity: Original Sin 2, Original Soundtrack.

3) What’s your favorite book of all time? 

I have it right here; The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin. It is as crazy as it sounds.

4) Mountain or beach? 

Hmm, hard to choose, though probably beach. Mountain weather is way to unpredictable here.

5) What’s one thing about yourself that you really love? 

No one can tell when I’m lying... hard to spot a lie from an honest person...

6) If you could learn another language overnight, which language would you pick? 

Japanese, I’ve been at it on and off for a good two years now, so yes, if I could wake up tomorrow and have mastered it, that be lovely.

7) If you could give your past self a piece of advice, what would you tell them? 

Screw school, none of that matters now. Also, don’t eat the grapes; she’d understand.

8) What’s something you’ve always wanted to do/learn?

I’ve always wanted to learn to play the violin, their sound is so beautiful. It’s by far my favourite instrument.

9) Who would you want to be stranded with on a deserted island?

Preferably no one, I’m no stranger to being on my own, and then I could study the local ecosystem in peace. But if I had to pick someone, then my best friend is getting dragged along with me. If I’m going down, she’s contractually obligated to go down with me.

10) List two pet peeves.

1: Recycle Your Rubbish! It’s not hard, stop killing the planet! 2: Groups of people who stop to chat in the middle of the road. Like, there are plenty of places you could move to to talk, don’t just stand in a big awkward circle in the middle of everyone’s path. Now I have to go around you by walking on the road with the cars. Or even worse, they do it in a shop right in front of the thing I want to buy, now I have to either awkwardly stand about like an idiot waiting for them to move, or push past to get it, and that’s just uncomfortable for all of us. Just, please move out of the way...

11) How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Depending on if I take a shower or not, 5 - 30 minutes.

I tag anyone reading this who feels like doing it, I’m too tired and lazy to think up another 11 so do whatever you like.

Detective Pikachu Review

Detective Pikachu is a movie that intrigues even from the title. While one would expect a live-action Pokemon movie to be a story of a trainer trying to “catch ‘em all”, here we have the closest thing to a film adaptation of The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse, with a bit of Zootropolissprinkled in. In a city where humans and Pokemon live together, 21-year-old Tim (Justice Smith) is…

[crewsandcodenames]

So I finally read Ready Player One during my break at work the other day, and it was pretty good. I really liked that world building was part of the plot. I really could have done without the random, unnecessary romance that was kind of an afterthought for the entire book except for like three pages, but other than that I liked it. Anyways i think i’m gonna use my breaks on the weekends at work to catch up on all my pleasure reading, next up I believe i will start do androids dream of electric sheep, then the hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse, then probably armada just to finish out cline’s, then possibly move on  to Gaiman and Pratchett, then forest of hands and teeth, then Annihilation because all female research team in  a scifi novel yes please, probably Dark places after that, the Redshirts and Seveneves, then possibly the circle bc it kinda sounds like one of those things boomers write about how technology is bad and edison was a witch but i’ll see. But that’s all i got for now, so if anyone has some good book recommendations please send them my way.
