Creative Writing http://vimeo.com/16598885 is an example of a video that is not particularly useful, but it is funny. And – at just under four minutes, it doesn’t even feel like a waste of time.
A fellow in a fake moustache stands in front of a small class on the “first day of Intro to Creative Writing.” Discussing the five most common types of conflict in literature, the moustachioed man begins writing on the chalkboard:
Man vs Nature
Man vs Man
Man vs Supernatural
Man vs Self
Man trying to have sex in space
The seven students in the class look confused and sometimes disgusted. When they try to contribute to the lesson, the “teacher” disregards what they say, and continues developing his “Man trying to have sex in space” story.
A few minutes later, the real teacher walks in and apologizes for being late. The educator impersonator tears off his moustache and takes his seat with the other students.
I searched “Creative Writing” on vimio.com, hoping for writing tips. Instead I was treated to a short comedy clip, which was actually quite well done and refreshingly ridiculous.
