Using artificial intelligence tools to produce Sunnyside comedy videos is cheap, efficient, fast and fun. After 40 years of directing and producing video, film, and stage comedy, I’ve found that AI can be extremely useful in creating quirky comedy for a world in desperate need of quirkiness.

What Sunnyside uses Runway AI video generation and Adobe Generative AI (Firefly) From Monday to Friday, I work on comedy videos that are distributed on YouTube, INSTAGRAM, and TikTok. Sunnyside released over 800 original comedy videos in 2025 at minimal cost using Runway and Adobe’s artificial intelligence production tools, along with APPLE’s Final Cut Pro and an incredible team of professional comedy writers, actors, and editors.
The comedy video for “Sunny Side 2025” is approaching 1 million views.
What is comedy?
Comedy is the juxtaposition of concepts, words, phrases, or gestures in a fun and unexpected way that produces laughter, smiles, or a lift of the mood.
How stand-up comedians create comedy
Comedians come up with comedic juxtapositions and perform them in front of an audience. If the audience laughs, the comedian maintains the juxtaposition in his performance. If the audience doesn’t “get” the juxtaposition, the comedian will either continue to experiment with words, timing, and gestures until the juxtaposition gets a positive response, or the comedian will decide that the juxtaposition will never appeal to the audience.
How comedy is produced for television audiences
A TV writer comes up with a comedy pairing and presents it to the other writers in the writers’ room. If the writing team likes this combination, it may be incorporated into the script with the approval of the series producer, network, and possibly sponsors before filming. In post-production, comedic juxtapositions undergo similar approval challenges before broadcast.
How comedies are produced for movie audiences
Comedic juxtapositions in scripts go through a similar approval path through directors, producers, studios, and investors before everyone scratches their heads, spends tons of money on marketing, and hopes people will laugh when this juxtaposition hits the screen.
How comedy is produced for online audiences
Sunnyside has begun producing and distributing two comedy video series: QUEEN OF THE WORLD (38 seconds) and Doctor Science (The high resolution (16×9) version will be released on Sunny Side YouTube from Monday to Friday, and the social media version (9×16) will be released simultaneously on INSTAGRAM and TikTok.
Sunnyside pays professional actors, writers, and editors minimal payments in arrears that are consistent with industry standards.
APPLE Final Cut Pro is the centerpiece of post-production. FCP, along with multiple Runway AI video generation tools and Adobe Generative AI (Firefly), produces streams of high-quality video at minimal cost in two series, five days a week.

sunny side news The company is currently publishing vertical comedy videos on social media (9/16) Monday through Friday at the Sunny Side YouTube Comedy Lab, featuring videos produced with Video GPT (OpenAI).
Sunnyside will use the first 24 hours to determine which comedy combinations are most appealing to viewers and apply that knowledge to the production of new episodes.
Sunnyside’s comedy videos that get a lot of views are like a stand-up comedian getting a wave of laughs when the juxtaposition he’s been working on finally works out. It’s like watching TV and screenwriters watch their lovers burst out laughing when their juxtapositions are played on their TV at home. Or like a screenwriter sitting in an auditorium full of laughers when his comedic juxtaposition explodes on the big screen.
juxtaposition of artificial intelligence
Sunnyside’s success depends on cramming as much of the engaging and funny comedic writing, performances, and editing into each video as possible. Using Adobe and Runway AI production tools has worked well. Because juxtaposing unrelated content to create compelling results is exactly what artificial intelligence video production tools are designed to do.
Tell the AI tool where to start (prompt) and continue adjusting the prompt and generating versions. desired result Even if it is achieved, The desired result is Images are not always visible right. Looking weird, funny, or unique in a non-distracting way is usually the most desirable comedic outcome, and it’s worth noting that both Adobe and Runway produce just such results with high frequency.
Adobe PHOTOSHOP Generative AI (Firefly)
Ask Dr. Science is a question-and-answer radio series produced by the comedy troupe Duck’s Breath Mystery Theater. More than 2,000 radio programs are broadcast on public radio and are the soundtrack for Sunny Side’s daily DOCTOR SCIENCE series.
A key asset of this series is the original and captivating imagery associated with each episode’s topic. Creating images with Adobe Generative Video is fun. An annual subscription ($265) gives you enough credits to generate multiple versions for next to nothing, and it’s refreshing to get three great new images 5 seconds after your first three selections.
Artificial intelligence production tools for runway
There are over 30 post-production video and audio manipulation tools on the Runway AI Video Generation website, and Sunny Side has tried almost all of them to improve the quality of Sunny Side videos. Each tool has its own credit cost based on length, quality of export, and amount of computer brainpower required to create it.
