Best 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。
