Not funny. I was waiting to laugh, try your hand at drama first, it's much easier to make someone cry than it is to make someone laugh, you really gotta be a pro to master comic timing, Jerry Seinfeld was making a little over a million dollars an episode at one point, comedy is where the big boys come to play, read some scripts by Joel and Ethan Coen, so funny, they really know comic timing so well.
