Reactions - Sometimes the humor is not in the gag line or the
situation as much as it is in the reaction of the characters. Comedian Jack Benny was great at
using this formula. One of his supporting players would tell a joke and he would just give you
this reaction stare. Usually you laughed more at the expression on Jack Benny's face than you
did at the gag.
Look at the cartoon on the left. The real humor in this cartoon, in my opinion, is in the reaction
on the man's face.
