  • I never wanted to do observational humor because I never wanted to tell people what they were seeing. -- Richard Lewis
  • Everyone has their personal topics. My comedy has always been very strong on observational humor, it stems from what I see every day in my life. -- Iliza Shlesinger
  • The generations that were exposed to sitcom have the people actually saying the line, saying the joke, whereas sort of before that, you have much more observational humor. -- Robert Mankoff
  • One question about a joke is, how well is the strangeness of the situation resolved? At 'The New Yorker', we retain a lot of incongruity, tapping the playful part of the mind - Monty Python-type stuff. We also try to use humor as a vehicle for communicating ideas. Not editorial comment, but observation. -- Robert Mankoff
