Why Comedy Matters


[Laughter]
We think comedy is just for relaxation,
But in fact it is a very serious and important work
For the health of the mind and the prosperity of society.
In the old days, who were called “clowns”
Are officially licensed and paid a salary
On their mission, which lies precisely in making the humor of the king,
As a way of attracting him to review what really matters.
And protect it from boasting and complacency,
This suggests that comedy may be a requirement
– As you check your teeth or make calculations –
It’s not an extra choice – it seems – when you watch TV when you want to.
There are many things that comedy helps us with.
As a start, it is a treat for despair.
Many of the comic phrases shed light on the worst things that are going on in our lives
– death, anxiety and failure -.
Instead of reconciling it, it helps us to feel a firm challenge and a strong direction.
Look at the representation of Flazcus for the death of Christ.
And then go back to the participation of Monte Pieteron comedy for the same position.
Solid? Yeah. good. Outside the door, row to left, cross for each person.
Comic style does not deny misery, but has a very different relationship with it.
– I shot a bullet on Marvin’s face a foot!
Comedy may mix with a challenging mood.
Someone will laugh at the tragedies of existence instead of collapsing in front of them.
In the film “The Life of Brian” by Monty Python, the final song boldly explained the disadvantages of our existence.
Cynical, refusing to present them grimly.
In 1940, when the British were in a very fragile military position,
The cynical song of Nazi leaders became popular.
The strength of the enemy was very frightening, and the aim was simply to keep them cheerful,
This challenge was essential for their continued progress.
By ridiculing serious things, it can be ironic to provide us with courage.
It depicts things that can be very frightening, as if they are rather silly.
Comedy is also a great treat when feeling humiliated.
Life is full of things that threaten our dignity.
It is not excluded that our dignity is reduced in order to complete the irony.
In the children’s series “Biba Big”
Dad, Dad Big, always works things you may see as ridiculous, humiliating or embarrassing.
In the opening episode, is a fairly high and outrageous release.
Its weight plus, shows it as lazy.
It may be very easy to take a negative impression of his personality.
This is one of the things we tend to do for ourselves and other people:
We are constantly bringing back our own skin
In animation, despite this flawed creature
He was presented as a defect and very well liked in some way.
His wife and children are very attached to him.
They may see him as somewhat foolish, yet they love him as he is.
He is a fool loved by their eyes.
This is what comedy helps us:
It transforms people, including us
– from idiots in their normal lives – to valuable figures: stupid loved ones.
If we happened and crossed a road, we saw a man named Basil Fowlte hitting his car with a tree branch
We may feel that he is only a bad, angry man who breathes his anger in a crazy and destructive way.
We may judge him as being very stupid and annoying.
Fortunately, Basil Volti is not in real life, but in a comedy scene of John Cleese
So he is not only stupid.
It is a traditional comedian: a lovable idiot.
His flaws were presented alongside some of his beloved qualities.
The series tells us to admire someone we may hate in real life.
It is an achievement worthy of praise for the role of comedy.
Is similar to what Christ did when he made us think positively about the criminals and the vile life.
Comedy produces good stereotypes.
If someone says, “You look a bit like Woody Allen,” that’s a nice alternative to saying:
“You are very annoying, and intellectually anxious
A – You are a Jew from New York, a liberal leftist intellectual, West Central Park, Brandeis University.
And … socialist summer camps and AA and father with drawings of bin Shahn, right? “
Woody Allen taught us to look more nice to others
Who may be at risk of being characterized by severe nerves
This is counterproductive for bad molding.
It is to make the problem worse by focusing on the depth of specific ill-persons.
Comedy characters always have our sympathy.
When we refer to a colleague as David Brent
We do not point out that they are not ticking or shaky
But also to reshape those flaws.
Because we feel sympathy for David Brent as we laugh at him.
We see his weakness as we see his folly.
We are well aware that this is due to his concern about not admiring others or respecting him.
This is what made him do all these embarrassing things.
Always infuriates Larry David and becomes mischievous.
It is incredibly sharp and rude. And always enters into long controversies.
Yet it is somewhat appealing.
What do not you like?
So, again, thanks to comedy
We re-formed a different but totally negative style: an angry old man.
The purpose of comedy is to guide us to see the gentle side of people, and then ourselves.
Comedy has also done a great job of reducing disparities in power.
It is very convenient to see the owners of power laughing at themselves.
When someone sees himself as funny, it is a sign of maturity
This means that a person can see his mistakes without becoming defensive.
Humor usually provides a way for the weak, or at least the weakest
From providing constructive and clear responses to the owners of the force.
Monty Pythain focused on this particular task.
The “football match of the philosophers” ridiculed the great symbols of the history of thought
It was laughable because we were afraid in the past of intellectual bullying,
We are very small when reading Weitkenstein and Schopenhauer.
Now they seem very bad at playing football, yet they play seriously.
Comedy is not just a fun form.
Comic perspective is a basic need for society
It allows us to adapt better to our foolishness and disappointments,
Our problems in work and love, and our anxiety in bearing ourselves.
Comedy is to be reshaped as an essential tool for a better society.
