Running Jokes go much deeper than you think. In this video of my Mastering Comedy Series, we explore the concept of the running joke, and why they embed themselves into our minds.

Nice video. Had some cool ideas in it. I'm not 100% convinced on the uniqueness of the Todd recurring joke, though. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Great video! That being said, I feel it's not fair to compare running jokes presented throughout the series as a whole and running jokes presented in one episode (especially if it revolves around a guest character).
This goes back a while but there is a clip on You Tuve from the old Jack Benny television show. It's a running joke with no words. Jack is doing his weekly food shopping. He passes a table where samples of a new cake are being offered. The attendant has stepped away. We see the table, the cakes and a sign that says "Free." Decades pf Benny playing the stingiest man in the world come in to play. Jack takes one slice of cake, then another, and another, and loads up his shopping cart with cake. Then he adds the table cloth and the "Free" sign. The audience howled.
This was really interesting. Great work!
Nature vs Nuture?
Anyway, nice video! I came for Community :)
Although one thing I disliked is that you never really defined the words violation and benign. You kept using them, but I have no clue what they mean.
No offense, Nick.
