Question...

It's like you start telling one joke, but then you quickly switch to another punchline causing the audience to fall out their seats and break their ankles.

Seriously, I have no idea. When I hear crossover, I always think about tv shows or comic books where characters from different shows or books do an episode or issue together. So, maybe 2 comedians who normally work alone could get together and do a duo routine. But, I don't know how that would interest an audience. That works more for like a Last Comic Standing challenge. Man, your job is hard.

 

I thought it had something to do with cultural crossover. Like the Cosby show being about a black family and so being expected to appeal to a black audience and yet also having great apeal to non-black Americans.

 

To me, it means switching your target audience.

 

I wouldn't know. If I had to guess, I'd say it referred to cross-cultural/racial humor.

 

Remembering my jr high basketball players trying to execute crossovers in practice... H-I-larious!!!

 

"Crossover" to me is anything that appeals to a smaller more specialized audience in the beginning but then is slowly accepted by a larger more mainstream audience.

 

Isn't it when you take a serious subject and make it funny.

Like Scrubs?
