I've always had large part in my heart for comedy. Doing it, appreciating it, seeing different kinds of it--everything. So It shouldn't be a surprise when I say that I've tried to analyze why before. Not just the structure, timing and pacing of what makes a good joke good and a bad joke bad but so much more. I commonly think of them as philosopher's of our time with a little background in psychology. They take situations and ask "why?" they ponder it aloud with the audience to question: people, events motives and much more. The answers aren't always important but the journey to find them are always enjoyable. Hoping you get a good comedian. They'll analyze a person a thing with the common thoughts that everyone else experiences for those few seconds but they're able to articulate in detail about it--speculate.
I've been called out on my uncanny ability to make loop holes in my arguments but I think that's fine depending on the situation. Why is the most useless question people can ask themselves. Why did this tragedy happen, why did my car get stolen? It doesn't change the situation but people demand an explanation. So yes in those situations why is the most useless question you could ask. But that doesn't stop it from being my favorite in every other situation.
the last laugh,
Sam E.
