Sam Harris is Hilarious: Is it Intentional?
June 21, 2012 at 12:56 am (This post was last modified: June 21, 2012 at 12:58 am by goddamnit.)
A long time ago, I introduced Sam Harris to my friend and we watched YouTube videos with Sam Harris. We cracked up many times. Sam Harris keeps a really straight face while calm and speaking with a nice-guy voice, while ripping on religion with funny insults. Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if he watches recordings of himself and laughs his head off after he debates these people. I mean, can he really not realize that his audiences find it hilarious after the first few times they laugh in response to what he says?

It seems to make sense as an effective and deliberate strategy. It seems he purposely tries to craft words to form the most strident (but totally valid!) jokes possible about religion while keeping a great poker face. This is just a speculation. Am I way off?
