Mark Critch quotes
-
“If you can say something to people that's maybe a little bit insulting, but they're kind of giggling as they are hearing it, if you say something to their face without them getting mad at you, I think that's the right balance. You don't want to make it uncomfortable, especially for the viewer or the people around either. Sometimes that happens. You're watching and you're like, 'Uh, this is awkward. I don't want to look!' But, if everybody's enjoying it, I think that works.”

“As long as we're honest and not mean, it's all fair game no matter what you say.”
-- Mark Critch -
“A lot of time with comedy stuff, half of the stuff on my feed is: 'Haha, good for you!' 'Hey, thanks for making my day!' And the other half is: 'Defund the CBC!' 'All Newfoundlanders are hoagie-hogs!' It's just left and right and there's never anything in between.”
-- Mark Critch -
“I try to be fair, and I try not to be cruel or mean when I'm interviewing someone. But you have to push a few buttons. When you're on a roll and you're making a person laugh, you can say things that are truthful about them, and then they'll laugh at them as well. Otherwise, it might just sound like you're attacking them.”

“Comedy, sometimes if you think about it too much then it becomes a bit boring. If you start thinking about striking the right balance sometimes it takes the spontaneity out of it.”
-- Mark Critch -
“Comedy is best when it's a reaction to something. When you're talking about a topic, and when your friend says something funny naturally, that kind of points something out and puts it on its side, or whatever, then everybody laughs. Because it's unsuspected.”
-- Mark Critch
