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.

Just another of the endless uses for duct tape. I’ll have to enter that in the contest.

My father used to beat us with a leather belt, sometimes on bare skin. When we burned the belt in the furnace, he just beat us some more with another.
I haven’t seen him in about 25 years. If my calculations are right, he’ll be 100 in about 5 years. I think I’ll go to his party and tell him what I think.

The guy with hair reminds me of Geraldo Rivera. Anybody got a chair handy.

My father had 33 children… I haven’t met most of them, but I think we all agree that he got bored of beating

Isn’t the bald guy the bartender from Wapsi Squared?
