We have a setup/punchline system in the U.S. that is lacking in your script. In Finland, the system must be: intro a topic, still talking about the topic, more bullshit on the topic, veering towards whimsy on the topic, and then end scene without any solid jokes on the topic. That's not how we do it. We have Jews in America, and they're really humorous. We follow their lead. But hey, cultural relativism is a blast! So best of luck. I hope to never stumble across your website in Google's top search results again.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Chuck LorreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628581136276874478.post-52391447961015390742011-08-06T08:41:44.774-07:002011-08-06T08:41:44.774-07:00I didn't even remember anymore that I had writ...I didn't even remember anymore that I had written that to the script - but I guess it has been established that Howard knows about fashion and cosmetics and things that are linked to relationship stuff (on a superficial level). <br /><br />For example, his massive aftershave collection in The Vegas Renormalization episode [2x21] or him being able to say 'you are beautiful' or something like that in like nine different languagues [pilot].<br /><br />What I'm doing here is that I'm trying to make it funnier by slightly exaggerating the circumstances. Just like when Howard talks about his Dolce Gabbana and David Beckham collections later in the script he talks that way because it makes the script, well, better.NotTheWorstWriterEverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194020522777262243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628581136276874478.post-48005162100538197042011-08-04T10:10:07.217-07:002011-08-04T10:10:07.217-07:00Why do you think Howard is familiar with Louis Vui...Why do you think Howard is familiar with Louis Vuitton?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
