Secondly, he suggests, “It’s easy enough to type your thoughts so anybody can find an audience for their content, pro comics, or anybody else.”A fellow stand-up comedian and author of the humor book “You Can’t Write City Hall,“Jeremy Nunes, agrees with the fact that people can find their audience much easier and faster on X, no matter the kind.“If you want to be the guy who makes jokes and represents vegetarians, you can be active with those groups and influencers. If you want to do the same for the carnivore crowd, you can be active with those groups and influencers. Likewise, if you want to troll and heckle those groups, you can find them.”

Eli suggests that spoken and written comedy, like on X, have some things in common, such as putting the actual punch part of the punchline (the surprise) at the very end. This component is very important if you want to make people laugh, whether it’s on X or a stand-up stage.

”Once people get the joke, you’re finished, so any extraneous words after that just serve to interrupt. Almost every punchline can be reworded to make sure that it ends with an actual surprise,” says Eli.

Even though there might not be a secret formula that can teach people to create funny tweets, knowing the basic joke structure might help. Usually, there are two parts to it: a setup and a punchline, which Eli has already mentioned.The former introduces the topic the joke will be about, and the latter, as discussed previously, takes it in an unexpected direction. Playing with words, like using puns, is also one way to achieve comedic effect in written jokes.

In fact, Nunes believes that X works similarly to comedy in general. “Because of the character limit, you have to be quick and to the point, just like standup. It also works the same as when my son is explaining how he got into trouble. I have to say, “Ok, let’s fast forward to the part where you got sent to the principal’s office.”

As for the future of X, Eli believes that it will no longer be the place for funny content as it is now and was in the past. “I think that Twitter will become less of a medium for jokes as time goes on as it continues to become more of a forum for lies and hate speech rather than shared reasonable thoughts and facts. I know professional comedians who have stopped posting there for that reason.”

However, Nunes remains positive. “I think it will grow, and their leadership will find unique ways to do so. I would never bet against Elon Musk. I’d bet against the Washington Generals, but never Musk.”
