Sometimes an actor will stumble on the joke, and I'm right on them. Back it up before the audience hears the bad version of the joke, because humor is 90% surprise. If they know what's coming, they won't laugh as hard.

Manchmal stolpert ein Schauspieler über den Witz, und ich habe Recht damit. Unterstützen Sie es, bevor das Publikum die schlechte Version des Witzes hört, denn Humor ist zu 90% überraschend. Wenn sie wissen, was kommt, werden sie nicht so schwer lachen.
