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.

I would choose flying as my super power… or maybe teleportation. Probably not the best choices for a super hero, but they are just to awesome to pass up.

Need to work on that menacing laugh if you’re gonna be a super-villain, Scott …

I have to pick just one of my super powers?
That’s a tough one.

I WOULD CHOOSE INVISIBILITY—-CAN’T STAND BEING NOTICED.

is “shape-shifting” too geeky?

I would have the ability to have spontaneous, consciousness-altering orgasms.
I wouldn’t b much of a hero, but I’d be damned happy anyway.

I would choose the ability to fly but with my luck i would be too busy trying to avoid being sucked into the intake openings of jet airliners….
