It is to laugh

[ebonlock]

Or not, as the case may be:
Metafilter links to a new "comedy" show described as "the View meets the Daily Show and takes a right turn". Dennis Miller better watch his back...Jon Stewart, not so much.

Best comment so far:

I always thought comedy was supposed to be funny? I'm not uptight. I'm an easy guy to make laugh. A picture of a cross-eyed kitty with a hat on will make me laugh. I swear! Make a fart sound when Grandma sits down and I will laugh.

Oh. They must mean comedy in the "classic" sense. You know. Like in ancient Greece. Where at the end of the play not everybody dies. Only in this case you wish they would.

I have to admit I get a meanspirited thrill every time a conservative vehemently insists, "We're funny, dammit!" As if comedy could be invaded and occupied like a country. It's one of the few areas left that the neo-cons can't get their filthy hands on, thank the gods.
