The Purpose of Slam Practice

The purpose is obvious, naturally, it is to make one's comic speech better. A good comedian must be good at slamming, but just practicing slamming is not enough to become a good comedian. Don't forget, in comedy there is not only slamming, but there are more than a dozen lessons in the four lessons of "speaking, learning, teasing and singing" if we talk about it in detail. You have to be good at each and every one of them before you can be a qualified comedian.

Cicadas and arrows have their own stunts, and so do comedians, and Guo Degang can't do it either

So it's the same for Feng Zhaoyang, whose backward recitation of "The Name of the Dish" is indeed a perfect example of how to practice the slamming of a comedian's mouth, but "The Name of the Dish" is not enough, and it's not enough to see if a comedian is good enough to do the job. To see whether a comedian is good or not is not just to see how good he is in one of the subjects, but to see the comprehensive strength. That's why I'd rather see a comedian who is excellent in all aspects, but has no stunts, than one who has only one stunt, but is mediocre in all other aspects, or even flunks out.

Stunts, it's true, can add color to a person, but they don't mean everything.
