## Resource

In this episode of Funny Muscle Pod, Mike assigns Chris a deceptively simple task: break down five professional stand-up bits using the full Humor Blueprint—subject, premise, setup, misdirection, norm, punchline—and layer in the humor heightening tools from Mike Lukas’s books. Together, they walk through the answers, revealing the hidden structure behind great jokes, how comics stack multiple techniques seamlessly, and how you can reverse-engineer pro material to sharpen your own writing. If you’ve ever wondered why a joke hits so hard, this episode gives you the blueprint (and the reps) to start doing it yourself.
