Comedy Writing Tip #23: How to Write Comedy for Social Media Without Selling Your Soul

Social media comedy is a different beast - here's how to tame it: 1) **The Scroll-Stopper** - "Dating in your 30s is just interviewing people for the role of 'person I'll text when lonely'." 2) **The Relatable Twist** - "Adulting achievement unlocked: cried in the shower then made breakfast like nothing happened." 3) **The Hashtag Hook** - "#WhyImSingle: I treat red flags like carnival decorations - colorful and fun to be around." 4) **The Visual Pun** - Post a photo of your messy room: "My organizational system is called 'archaeological layers'." 5) **The Algorithm Play** - Use trending sounds ironically: "Oh this dance? It's called 'Paying Off Student Loans' - nobody can do it." Pro Tip: The best social media jokes make people double-tap then immediately share to their group chat. On-Stage Line: "I don't trust people who say 'I don't use social media' - that's just code for 'I have a finsta following my exes'." https://comedywriter.info/
