So, I’m working on this new comedy script and it’s coming along just fine. Lots of broad bits, stupid red necks, dick jokes, monstersaurus gets it in the crotch with a buzz saw. Trust me, it’s funny.But I keep throwing in the one percenters. Those jokes that only 1% of the population might find amusing (thank you Jane Espenson for identifying it for me). For example, I’ve got a character named Schroedinger and yeah he has a cat. It’s kinda in the background. Most people won’t even notice that’s it’s even in the film. Is it worth it? What if 5% of the viewers think it’s funny? 10%? 25%? How would I know?
