Writing for the Masses

I've chosen to write a mock-mentary for my final project in Media Scriptwriting. It will be about life in my dorm room. This brings about the challenge of writing jokes and stories that almost anyone can relate to. I'm tempted to just write things that my friends and myself find humorous. That does not make a good script. I must learn to put away on biases and focus on entertain more than just my roommates.
