Timing the Takedown: Striking While Hot

Timing the Takedown: Striking While Hot

Writing the Satire

Timing’s satire’s pulse – hit when it’s ripe. Target a fresh gaffe: “Pol caught lying – truth’s on break.” Strike now – a tax flop: “New levy lands – my wallet weeps.” Late jabs stale out. Late-night hosts nail news drops. Keep it current; old news is dust. Start live: “App crashed – my phone’s in therapy.” Practice syncs satire to the second, hot and hilarious.

Teaching the Technique

Teach timing with a now twist. Give “strike ends” – twist: “Ended so fast, I struck!” Show late-night clips – fresh, zing. Steps: event, now, jab. Assign “power out” – spark: “Out so quick, I’m caveman!” Discuss snap: hot wins. Warn off old – live rules. Time-off: pitch a now-jab, best hit wins. Timing’s a beat – teach them to beat it.
