Garden Path Comedy Planted in a Dead Pan

Comedians

I mentioned the 'garden path' comedy structure in the context of my recent poem. For your enjoyment, some Comedians who employ garden path sentence structure and deadpan humor. My ultimate favorite styles.

Stephen Wright, who's woken up driving
Emo Phillips, who wouldn't kill someone (just to finish a sentence)
Mitch Hedburg, who said 'oh, no, man. I juggle!'

Mitch also conceives of rotisserie as a morbid ferris wheel for chickens (just as i do... sigh. if only it were meant to be. I just don't know where he's buried.) Some other night I shall perhaps post my Spanish song about dead chickens.
