I got a SPAM message in my vimeo account a few weeks ago, and I just got another one today - the African money transfer. The secret’s out!
Joke Writing
Scott Adams of Dilbert and The Joy of Work has an interesting approach to joke-writing. He lists what he considers to be the Six Dimensions of Humour:
1. Cuteness 2. Meanness 3. Bizarreness 4. Recognisability 5. Naughtiness 6. Cleverness
And then he employs a “Two of Six” rule, where he layers two of these dimensions.

SHE POOPED! (on the potty)
chooly:
very exciting day for chooly. we bought hello kitty panties this morning and i guess they inspired chooly to go on the potty for real. it was followed immediately by a diarhea blowout in the diaper, but still! the verdict is out on if i post a picture of the next one.
This shit just got real.

and then T-Mobile’s response
Dan Harmon is so funny.
The Comedy Central call went well. And that’s that.
Next week will be the results show. Text ‘MANBABY’ to vote - send my child to Waldorf school!!
Okay, today is Comedy Central.
I retooled the pitch a little after yesterday’s call, so we’ll see if it works any better.
Still a little nervous though.
The pitch went well. I got to express about 5% of the show concept, but I think that is actually working to my advantage - they’re into the core concepts, and that’s all I really care about.
I’ll hear back in the next couple of days. Either way, I don’t think I’ll blog about it.
Psyche!
I’m so stoked today. Last night was inspirational.
Fox is going to be calling in 2 hours, so I’m just going to watch Obama’s acceptance speech over and over until then. “Yes We Can” is the mantra.
Manbaby news:
Tomorrow I’m going to be talking to the director of animation at Fox.
And then on Thursday, I’ll be talking to Comedy Central.
I’m nervous.
