Random Humour




In random humour the stream of a conversation is broken by an interjection concerning a topic that is either totally unrelated or appears so. The funniness of random humour is normally due to a reference to an In-joke . Although very funny when it works, great care should be taken when using random humour, it can fail miserably to entertain. Another rule with random humour is that it never works when you relate a past scenario to anyone.


EXAMPLES

  • The American television show Family Guy uses this technique a lot with quick-cutaways to barely related events (e.g. a huge fight between the show's protagonist and a chicken in the middle of an unrelated scene)
