How to Be a Hack Comedian

(Via The Sound of Young America blog): Andy Kindler's classic "Hack's Handbook", originally published in the National Lampoon in 1991, is finally on the internet: The Hack's Handbook by Andy Kindler.

These days everyone writing about comedy has had the idea of making a handy guide to comedy cliches – which is itself a cliche and we're all hacks! Oh, the irony. Would you add anything to Kindler's guide?
