I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy. Making people laugh one moment and the next making them feel really uncomfortable.
You can't be funny unless you're tragic, and you can't be tragic unless you're funny.
Why do we laugh at such terrible things? Because comedy is often the sarcastic realization of inescapable tragedy.
Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.
My own inclination is to skew towards humor. They say that some people view life as a comedy, others as a tragedy. Me? Comedy all the way.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
There's no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable.
In life, comedy occurs naturally, as it should, in the most appalling of circumstances.
I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor.
