Mixing humour and harsh reality is a very human behaviour, it's the way people stay sane in their daily lives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.
It seems to me that humour is everybody's way of keeping sane and standing off from the situations so that they can see it intellectually, as well as emotionally, and I don't know whether you've noticed, but if somebody tells a joke, it's nearly always a mini fantasy.
As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.
Life is funny, at the same time being totally harsh.
People complain that joking about serious subjects is 'making light' of them. Isn't that a good idea? Comedy lets the air out of the bully's tires.
Everybody that's living in this earth is living in a situation. It's not narrow-minded to the point where everybody is serious and nobody has a personality. I think people die telling jokes.
Mixing humor and politics is something that works.
Sometimes the only way to deal with horrific things in life is through a dark sense of humor.
The thing about a sense of humour is that it's not bestowed on the good. It's just randomly dished out.
I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.
