Who must of course remain anonymous. But it’s true.
‘You always find that it’s six percent of people who want to take out the scene that 84 per cent of people will find funniest.’

why anonymous?
Wouldn’t that really be advice from John Cleese?Grant
What do the other 10% think?
The 10% are the ones that have no sense of humour.The 6% are the ones that have no spine.The 84% are the general population of consumers.The 6% get so caught up in how the 10% might feel about something, they forget that they are actually targeting the 84%.The 6% don’t want 84% of people to love your product and 10% of people to hate it.The 6% would actually prefer 100% of people to look at your product and feel indifferent.
my head hurts.
