(May 29, 2015 at 11:27 am)Alex K Wrote: I believe that comedy fundamentally is a dead serious business. It is meant to be serious, some people just use the alleged lack of seriousness in comedy as an excuse to say stupid, bigoted or not well thought-out things. Good comedy acknowledges that it is serious. Even Monty Python's "ministry of silly walks" is serious.


Puts me in mind of the time someone (I disremember who) asked Mel Brooks to explain the fundamental difference between tragedy and comedy.  Brooks thought for a moment, then answered:  'Tragedy is when I stub my toe.  Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.'
