He is best known for his "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey", a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts, and for his deadpan delivery. [1] Although many people assume otherwise, [2] [3] Handey is a real person, not a pen name or character. Contents.

Handey's earliest writing job was for a newspaper, the Express-News . He lost the job after writing an article that, in his words, "offended local car dealerships". [3] His first comic writing was with comedian . According to Martin, Handey got a job writing for after Martin introduced Handey to the show's creator, . [4] For several years Handey worked on other television projects: the Canadian sketch series Bizarre in 1980; the 1980 Steve Martin television special Comedy Is Not Pretty! ; and Lorne Michaels' short-lived sketch show on NBC called in 1984. Handey returned to Saturday Night Live in 1985 as a writer. [2] Deep Thoughts. In April 1984, National Lampoon published the first of Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. Additional Deep Thoughts appeared in the October and November 1984 editions as well as in the short-lived comedy magazine Army Man , while more appeared in 1988 in The Santa Fe New Mexican . The one-liners were to become Handey's signature work, notable for their concise humor and their outlandish hypothetical situations. For example: If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. [5] The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw. [6] Handey's work next showed up in the -produced TV series Television Parts in the format which later became famous on Saturday Night Live (though in Television Parts , Nesmith provided the narration). Some of these segments appeared in the compilation video of that program, Doctor Duck's Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce . Between 1989 and 1990, Deep Thoughts were shown during commercial breaks on The Comedy Channel with Handey's narration. Between 1991 and 1998, Saturday Night Live included Deep Thoughts on the show as an interstitial segment (between sketches). Introduced by and read live by Handey (neither actually appeared on screen), the one-liners proved to be extremely popular. Hartman intoned "And now, Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey. ", and peaceful easy listening music played while the screen showed soothing pastoral scenes, much like a New Age relaxation video. Handey then read the Deep Thought as the text to it scrolled across the screen. They became an enduring feature of SNL , which often had multiple Thoughts in each episode, and made Handey a well-known name. Other SNL work. Other Handey creations that appeared on SNL include the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, [2] "Fuzzy Memories" which depicted reenactments of a twisted childhood memory and aired in the late 1990s, and the short-lived "My Big Thick Novel", which were spoken excerpts from a very long book in the style of "Deep Thoughts" and which aired during the 2001–03 seasons of SNL. Handey is also credited with creating Toonces the Driving Cat, the cat who could drive a car, although not very well. [7] The recurring skit originated in 1989 with Steve Martin and as the crash-prone kitten's owners. In 1992 NBC aired a half-hour Toonces special. Handey, who lived with a real cat by the same name, once said he could not remember exactly how he dreamed up the premise. He said, "It was just one of those free association ideas you write down and look at later and think, 'Maybe. ' " [7] Further writing. In early April 2008, Handey published his first collection of magazine humor pieces, What I'd Say to the Martians and Other Veiled Threats . critic Jake Coyle wrote, "With absurdist musings such as these, Handey has established himself as the strangest of birds: a famous comedian whose platform is not the stage or screen, but the page." [4] Handey subsequently became a regular contributor to Shouts and Murmurs section. [8] On July 16, 2013 Handey's first novel, The Stench of Honolulu , was released with publisher Grand Central.

The first Deep Thoughts that I was exposed to were in 19 8 4, when he was writing them for National Lampoon -- and there are a few from that era that have not made it into the books. Those SNL segments that got him on the charts came several years later (circa 1990). This is the only daily calendar I know of of his work; there was a "Fuzzy Memories" wall calendar after this that I saw at Calendar Club a year or two later. Pictured with it is one of my Christmas presents, his hot-off-the-press new book What I'd Say To The Martians, And Other Veiled Threats. Fuzzy Fishing Memories, by Jack Handey. When it came time to pick a yearbook quote during my senior year of high school, I submitted one from Jack Handey. Handey, many of you may recall, wrote the “Deep Thoughts” and “Fuzzy Memories” bits on Saturday Night Live in the 90s. I turned in “Contemplate world peace, and while you’re doing that I’ll be over here stealing your stuff.” Of course when I got a yearbook in my hand, the bigwigs chopped off the last part of the quote and made my final high school thought “Contemplate world peace.” I mention this because out of the blue a classic Jack Handey sketch just popped up on the Net and it’s about, of all things, fishing. Enjoy, and have a good weekend. MORE TO READ. Next-Level Bronzebacks: 5 Secrets to Catching Monster Smallmouth Bass. We're talking about 6- and 7-pound smallies.

In his book Fuzzy Memories , Jack Handey writes: “There used to be this bully who would demand my lunch money every day. Since I was smaller, I would give it to him. But then I decided to fight back. I started taking karate lessons. But then the karate lesson guy said I had to start paying him five dollars a lesson. So I just went back to paying the bully.” Isn’t that most like us? Too many of us feel it is easier to pay the bully than it is to learn how to defeat him. Too many of us keep trying to function with the defect rather than getting it repaired. Too many of us succumb to defeat rather than learning the countermeasures that lead to victory. An offensive strategy can protect you when the enemy attacks. The strategy includes the following action steps. Recognize sin for is destructive and diabolical nature. Sin violates the covenant relationship with God. It is disobedience against a gracious and lovingly heavenly Father. Most of us never see the magnitude of our defect because the essence of sin is denial. 2. Resort to the proper tactics for defeating Satan. We are in a battle with all the forces of evil. But it is a winnable battle. Fortunately, the Bible provides a workable strategy that will lead to victory over the deadly sins. In our day of unparalleled temptation, every person must know how to overcome Satan. 3. Release sin through the power of confession. Confession does for the soul what the mechanic does for the defective car. Confession is the act of allowing God to work on our defective lives. Confession is not begging God to forgive us but agreeing with God about our sin. And there are times when we have to agree with the Father that we are in desperate need of repair and forgiveness. Confession is owning up to the fact that our behavior wasn’t just the result of bad parenting, poor genes, jealous siblings, or a chemical imbalance. Any or all of those factors may be involved. After all, human beings are complex. But confession means saying that somewhere in the mix was a choice, and we made that choice, and we do not need to excuse it, explain it, or even understand it. Rather, the choice needs to be forgiven. And it is forgiven when we admit to our dishonesty of trying to live on our terms instead of God’s. That’s where the release comes in. 4. Remove sin from our lives. First there is a why , then there is a how to removing sin from our lives. The primary reason we want sin removed from our lives is to restore our relationship with our heavenly Father. We are human beings created to be in relationship with God; as long as unconfessed sin exists, however, that relationship will be broken. Second, we will never experience victory in one area of our lives while sin exists in another area. In other words, we can’t receive blessings on the one hand while being disobedient on the other hand. How, then, do we remove sin from our lives? Honestly, we can’t. We have neither the strength nor the moral completeness to accomplish such a monumental task. For that, we have to rely on another person, and that other person is none other than Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Jesus’ sacrificed Himself on the Cross, bearing the sins of all humans so that our sins would be removed permanently from our record. The penalty for sin is death. Someone—either we or a substitute—has to die for our sins. We are given a choice: allow sin to take its course, leading ultimately to death, or trust in Jesus, who died for our sins. Regardless of whether we realize it, we are in a war. The bombs and bullets of Satan’s attacks are all around us. Many people have succumbed to the deadly darts and lie defeated. But we don’t have to be victims. We don’t have to lose the battles or the war if we employ countermeasures against our enemy. My book The Sins of Highly Defective People is a militant call to employ those countermeasures. They are effective in winning the battle against the seven deadly sins.
