Some of the better advice I got early on was to put the kind of work in your book that you want someone to hire you to work on. Don’t make it one note and only put humor in, because everyone has to be versatile to some degree. But if comedy is your best tool don’t be afraid to skew toward it when promoting yourself
Comedy is dead.
Hard cut, Cheetos.
Make a funny film of some sort. Cheap. Poorly produced. Doesn’t matter, funny always wins.
Look at Cannes. Funny rarely wins.
Obviously, but that’s due to cultural factors.
Don't set out to be funny set out to be interesting.
Shouldn't be too hard. Have funny material in your portfolio, stand up, something even if not ads. Then apply for agencies that have those clients. The US has a lot of humor oriented clients, from fast food to insurance companies.
Go work for a CD or ECD who does humor really well and typically runs the accounts that do that kind of work.
Comedy isn’t dead, it’s just extremely subjective. Most brands enjoy doing a bit of humor now and again. Find the brands you want to work on and try landing a job at the shop that does the work.
