Punching Up Without Pissing Everyone Off

�Punching up� means aiming your jokes at the powerful, not the powerless � a simple concept that still baffles Twitter. The best comics mock systems, not victims. A great punchline reveals truth; a lazy one just kicks someone who�s already down. If your joke needs a disclaimer, maybe it needs a rewrite. Comedy�s not supposed to be safe, but it can be smart. So swing up, not sideways. HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/punching-up-jokes/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
