The first thing to consider when creating a funny video is to look at your target audience. Are you targeting the pre-teen crowd who favors slapstick and potty humor, or are you looking to target a middle aged crowd that is more discerning in the type of funny video they enjoy? Even the most sophomoric funny video must have a target audience. It is never possible to amuse everyone, so picking a target audience can help you make a funny video that is of great value to the audience you are trying to reach without having to worry about other audiences. Once you have worked out your audience, you can get started planning your funny video.

The next thing to consider when planning a funny video is whether you would like the funny video to be live action or animated. Animation used to be technology that was available only to well funded studios–however, the advent of Macromedia Flash and other similar software has resulted in something of an animation revolution. It is now possible for anyone to create a funny video that uses sophisticated animation techniques using a standard personal computer. Of course, while Macromedia Flash and other computer animation tools can have a fairly steep learning curve, anyone who is interested in created an animated funny video will do well if they take the time to learn how to use these tools. Once you have decided on the type of funny video as well as your audience, it is time to start writing. Even the shortest funny video (many a successful funny video has made the rounds of the internet while being less than a minute long) requires a basic premise and plot, and this requires planning and writing. The worst mistake that one can make when shooting a funny video is to try to do the entire thing off the cuff, with no written script. Particularly if multiple actors are involved, it is necessary to do some writing before shooting a funny video.

How do you keep a blonde in suspense? Anyway, there is a whole bunch of ways to find good jokes for just about any occasion. It is really just a question of who your audience is going to be. Canon printer geeks go to conventions, politicians go to their lobbyist. Get it? Politicians/ lobbyists… well there’s no accounting for taste. So, head for the people that you want to make fun of. Most people have a pretty good sense of humor and are ready to laugh at themselves.

The real trick to finding a good joke is finding the right place and audience to tell the joke. A joke intended for somebody facing 10 years in prison is not the joke to be telling a Rabbi on the mount. Oh, did you hear about the Priest the Monk and the Rabbi who went into a bar? This is for Blonde …ah…readers that are still thinking about the first eight words at the start of this article. Oh, and that is all of the fingers on your right hand and all but the pinky and wedding ring finger on the left hand. Poking fun also works well if a little competition is going on. If there is a wide perception about a group of people, regardless of how big that group happens to be, there are likely going to be jokes floating around about that group. Competing schools for instance; what happened when Joe, the football player, transferred from UCLA to USC? The GPA for both schools went up. And now, to complete the running gag for blondes, the answer to; how do you keep blondes in suspense is.
