Writing
If I'm ever struggling to write I look at a random entry on Wikipedia and then try to make a jokes about that particular subject.
As a one-liner comic I'm always on the lookout for common phrases or "memes" (brand names, film quotes, etc, etc) which can be twisted in some way (most jokes are about surprise, you lead the audience to think one thing and then at the punchline you twist it suddenly which catches the audience out in an entertaining way).
