Basic Instructions started out as a small side-feature Scott Meyer created to entertain people who came to his website looking to hire a comedian. It wasn't long before the comic was far more popular than anything Scott ever did as a comedian.
Basic Instructions is a series of guides meant to help you lead a better life. They cover topics as diverse as "How to Deal with Boredom" and "How to Travel Back in Time to Deliver a Dire Warning to Your Former Self". Basic Instructions is populated with exaggerated versions of Scott, his family and his friends, which has caused no small amount of unpleasantness.

Corn dogs; done right they are good, but you might as well eat the stick for any nutrition.

Actually sounds like a good idea. Serve in a paper container like chicken nuggets, a single small wood skewer, and dipping goop.

They’ve perfected the corn dog, and you’re worried about nutrition?!

Can I get cheese on that?

So – your dad picked up a goose and walked into a pointy stick, or brambles, or a can of mace or something eye first?
What defines a portable goose? Does it have a handle on its back? Aren’t all geese’s portable if your arms are long enough and you can tolerate all the hissing and pecking?
Your brothers have got me stumped this time.

Cornbread-covered barbecued pork squares. I’ll call them Bar-B-Cubes. I’m gonna be rich!

I’d try some. No need for a stick.

The comic itself cracks me up, and the comments are like the icing on the cake!
