If you want to see comic relief in action, we highly recommend Trevor Noah's memoir, “Born A Crime.” In it, the comedian and Daily Show host recounts coming-of-age during South African apartheid with his trademark sense of humor. Download a free audiobook version: www.audible.com/ted-ed

I think the real crime is that Trevor Noah is part of comedy as a genre

this is just like: when you watch horror with freinds it becomes a comedy movie

"When people are exposed to one emotion for too long, they become desensitized to it." Many, many dramatic storytellers would benefit from this video.

It's also important to not let a joke or comedic situations stay for too long, like emotions, people will get desensitized to it the longer it goes.

Loveee the animation, and overall, the story, and the narration, and everything ❤💜🐳

Hey! "Born a Crime" was the first thought that came into my mind when I read the title. It's one of the best book I've read, comical and sad, do read it please.

Damn these animations are 🔥. Great job TedEd

Title: "How to be funny" I think the world is trying to tell me something...

Big Fan of this Channel. ❤️ It always motivates me for doing well.

This art style is stunning

bro i burst out laughing at 0:20, 'how do you do" LMFAO

OMG LOVE YOUR GUYS’S VIDEOS!!!

Always keep smiling.🤍

The animations are an art of work

Another good example of using humor to set up difficult subjects is “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” For instance, the author wanted to demonstrate the randomness and mystique of our universe, so he introduces a civilization that builds a computer in an attempt to find “The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.” On the day when the computer is finally prepared to reveal the answer, they host an enormous party celebrating their newfound omniscience. And then they all gather around to hear the computer reveal the answer. Which is... (say it with me)... 42. Everyone pauses as if the computer has mustered the capacity to tell some sort of cruel joke. When they ask what the computer what it means, it tells them, “All this time, you were looking for the answer. Did you really understand the question?”

Thxs this helped with my book I'm attempting to write

Yeowww another Ted-ed vidd!!

People dont laugh at my jokes they laugh at my face

Dude it is heaven like animation But I also liked the way of expressing the way good life hands off to Ted Ed ... Am I right everyone...

I love watching TED-ED!

Subverting expectations and comic relief are tools of writing but tools are only effective when used correctly. A lot of modern movies disappoint their audience by "subverting expectations" and a lot of times jokes are inserted in inappropriate situations.

3:12 that giggle 🥰💖

the illustration is great !!!

**reads title** Yo! Ain't that my entire life?😂

Yes this is what I need...

Love the animation. 😍

Thanks a lot o for all of you this is very interesting relics

"Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.” - Mel Brooks

Againnn, the topic and animation slapss! Botg works perfectly

On time as always

This is an idea I didn't even consider until now because I write serious or somber stuff, but I can try this

i didn't expect to see "the god of small things" reference here i love it

Thank you

Best animation every time

Finally, a video for me.

Glad you posted this because SNL needs some lessons

Great video 👍

Just add "lol" at the end

If you’re writing a story with a “class clown” as the main character, could you reverse the rolls by making the sidekick more serious? I’m thinking that doings so might both cause the main character to have some serious dialogue and make them joke about the conflict, revealing their emotions.

Almost every Wes Anderson movies are sad and funny. Especially The life aquatic with Steve Zissou... It's classified as a comedy, but also one of the most depressing movie I've ever watched. And this is the main reason I like his films because I think we need to see our life as a comedy, even in the most difficult times.

EXACTLY what I need to cope with my stress! :D

I finally understand why it is weirdly funny when mentioning someone dying as a joke

I wanted this so that I can tell others about my Life And they don't get bored

Humor is like the jazz of writing.

Just like reading, I had to go back several times to gain the meaning of the dialogue in this video. The imagery was distracting and the dialogue at times complex. That being said, I do appreciate the message and will indeed ensure any future storytelling I do plays on several emotions.

Wow this is like the best ad for "Born A Crime" I can think of. From now on, don't say TED-Ed, say TED-Ad!

TED-Ed can you do A History On Trial Of Pancho Villa.

There was this spiderman cartoon I used to watch as a kid called "The ultimate spiderman" in which the main character (spidey) used to be funny without the need of sidekicks as in between of tense fight scenes he the time used to stop and he used to break the fourth wall by saying some punch lines. (Yes I know that it was just a cartoon for kids and was made to be funny but still this might be used as another way of expressing comic relief and I don't really know if it's true or not.)

Hey, TED-Ed can you tell the way water flows and why we always leave a sliver of water after drinking left in our glasses

Time to unlock my true comic potential while telling my life story at the same time.

Honestly. In most stories the Comic relief character usually undergoes the most development.

The little girl's voice was sooooo cute! Btw amazing animation Ted ed!

Definitely going to screenshot that thumbnail, it's gonna be pretty useful in the discord

Could this be used in a college essay for a serious topic or should I avoid this?

Ted-Ed's narrator is one of the few people that actually pronounces 'respite' the correct way, bravo.

I know the first story referenced in the opening is Slaughterhouse 5, and the third is Gilgamesh, but I can't figure out what the second one is!

4:06 like in the forums by being polite in trying to tell someone they are being obtuse (or worst) without saying it as such. Some people just don't get the hint.

Ookeey- ppl who goes into a bar have some main reasons- very difficult traumas heartbreaks n various losses in life & some for just pure fun indeed.

Those who cannot get my point u must've been very sheltered n protected in ur life bless you
