I'm not a believer in the pratfall. I don't think it's funny just to have someone fall down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
Falling down is a very big subject, and so is the concept of downfall. None of us escapes, and I have had my share of both.
Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It's real easy to fall.
Falling is a hard thing to do whether you are a Christian or not, but when you are in Christ, it comes with a deep sadness for letting your Savior down.
I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.
The joke or the pratfall is easy for me to do.
Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
Let's not call physical comedy falling down and pratfalls. All humor is physical, no matter how you dish it out. It's timing, like a dancer or an athlete would have.
When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking.
I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it's the thing that makes me laugh the most.
