PickVidsBest Stand-up & sketch comedy Videos
「Stand-up & sketch comedy」下面有244部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门0部，适合还没学过的人；进阶1部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向242部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的1部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是喜剧，所以它们的共同点是用这个圈子的共同背景开玩笑。常出现的频道包括Saturday Night Live、BBC Studios、Comedy Central。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Comedy: stand-up specials, sketch comedy, Monty Python, Mr. Show, comedians, improv, comedy clubs, talk-show comedy, funny bits and absurdist humor.如果只看三部，就从《Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《George Carlin Talks About "Stuff"》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
