Pink NoiseHow to make funny music land
- Pause before the punchline
- Drop the music out for a beat, or pull it down suddenly, right before the joke. That moment of quiet makes the punchline hit harder.
- Hit the action on the beat
- Line up falls, head turns and glances with downbeats. Cartoons do this all the time to make the picture and the music move together.
- Keep it under the dialogue
- Funny music works best when it's quieter than the talking and the laughter. People need to hear the line before they can laugh at it.
- Add one sound effect
- A boing or a whoosh on exactly the right frame often does more than turning the music up.
- Don't run it start to finish
- Comedy music under every shot wears thin. Save it for transitions and the bits that are actually funny.
- Pets and kids
- For everyday pet and kid clips, reach for the cute tracks. Glockenspiel and toy piano suit slow motion, sleepy faces and small victories.
Three kinds of funny music

Quirky: pizzicato strings and bassoon tiptoeing along, for snack thefts, pranks, cooking fails and awkward moments.
8-bit: old console sounds for gaming fails, meme edits and fast-paced comedy.
