Management left some notes,
the show needs more Poignant Moments™️
it needs approximately 25% more
human emotion.
In the editing booth
effect precedes cause,
if we so choose.
Throw in a few, oddly familiar
hearty chuckles,
compel the viewer
to react authentically.
I’m sure the audience
was itching to laugh,
I’m sure,
but nothing wrong with a little help.
No pleasure is truly guiltless.
The fourth wall
is merely pantomimed,
the watcher and the watched
enter an unspoken pact,
to affect one another
or disappear altogether.
Jeers, scorn and rotting tomatoes
don’t phase us at all,
that’s showbiz.
Stick around for the commercials,
they’re, in our opinion,
the best part.
Have a laugh,
we insist,
they’re infectious.
