And humor has always been a weapon. You want to get even on somebody? You want to attack somebody? Make fun of them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Humor can be an incredible, lacerating and effective weapon.
I'd always used humour as a weapon, as a protection. But being able to make people laugh is a way of not getting in too deep; it's a quick, transient fix.
I don't think comedy is necessarily an attack. It's finding humour in life. I don't think if you're making a joke about something you're automatically demeaning it.
Comedy is a great weapon of attack. It's not a great weapon of support.
Humour has always been a self-defence mechanism for me.
Comedy often comes at the expense of others, and to do that smartly, you don't want to make fun of vulnerable people. You want to make fun of people in power, and so you need to really understand the dynamics of power.
Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release.
Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.
Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.
Humor is just another defense against the universe.
