We Serve Only Bait and Switch

In this episode of the Funny Muscle Podcast, Mike and Chris break down the comedy of Anthony Jeselnik—a comic who, on paper, “shouldn’t work” by our own rules. While we’ve been preaching the power of stacking multiple heightening devices, Jeselnik leans almost entirely on bait-and-switch… and still absolutely crushes. The fellows dissect several of Jeselnik’s bits to show how his exceptional writing does the heavy lifting—and how his exceptional tightly controlled persona does the rest.
