Other people are certainly amusing- but my own behavior is downright hilarious. Sometimes. :-) Chaplin pretty much always left the door open for you to see the dark aspects; makes the humor better, and more valuable. You've gotta get a copy of The Twelve Chairs; and watch with a good smart friend. :-)<br />Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-16875828178673007662014-02-28T15:02:10.567-08:002014-02-28T15:02:10.567-08:00That's amazing.

For me, the best comedy does that. Louis C.K. does a bit you'd probably appreciate. It's not overtly dark, but the way he unfolds the truth is a thing of beauty.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY58fiSK8Eshandra berihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263769438873496062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-91782132509010977942014-02-28T08:59:52.127-08:002014-02-28T08:59:52.127-08:00I had not seen it; thanks!

Too painful! But that bit was brilliant, no question.<br />Richie Pryor did a drunk sketch which I saw when first broadcast. Most comics have done drunks as humorous; it's an ancient joke. This sketch of Pryor's though (I've tried to find it on YouTube- but when you search Pryor and drunk- you get too many for me to look through) - it's a long sketch. He starts out standard; ha ha- the audience is cracking up. Then- he slides it into drunk behavior that is just not funny- at all. 100% true to life, of course. And he brings the audience to fully understand what they're laughing at- and they quit laughing. He did a stunning job. The last half of the long sketch is pathetic- and no laughs anywhere; but the audience was riveted.- I still remember it.Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-31725390068351612022014-02-28T08:13:45.436-08:002014-02-28T08:13:45.436-08:00here's the link even though i'm sure you&#...here's the link even though i'm sure you've seen it!<br /><br />http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/74/the-landlord-from-will-ferrell-and-adam-ghost-panther-mckayshandra berihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263769438873496062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234080188619303136.post-21636874694491798702014-02-28T08:07:51.332-08:002014-02-28T08:07:51.332-08:00So good!
