About the Contest

Show us the funny.

You think you know funny? Show us. This is ACIDplanet's first comedy video contest, your opportunity to drop mad phat yucks on the world.

Great comedy is all about structure, timing, and delivery. We expect nothing less from you, so some guidelines apply:

1. Videos are limited to 30 seconds or less. If it takes you more than thirty seconds to deliver the funny, you should rethink your commitment to the craft.

2. No performance videos of silly songs. Videos should have some narrative structure; establish, set up, deliver the punch-line.

3. No funniest home videos. We've all seen too many guys get kicked in the crotch. Not funny anymore.

4. If you're going to work blue, please rate your video appropriately.

To get you started, we've provided you with a prime assortment of wacky, guffaw-inducing sound effects from our Sony Pictures Sound Effects™ Series boxed set. You don't need to use them, but…we think they sound funny. And funny is good.

Comedy is not pretty. "Everybody says that comedy is harder to do. That's become a truism by now, but it's wrong. Comedy is not harder. The hardest thing is to do good work, whatever it is. " - Woody Allen. "Comedy is tragedy plus time." - Carol Burnett. Comedy means a lot of things to different people. We can't define it, but we know it when we see it. And that's all that counts.
