All my adult life I have been searching for the right adjective to describe my father's peculiarly aggressive comic style. I recently settled on 'defamatory.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The best word to describe my father? Thoughtful. There was a tender quality to Dad that his sense of fun could sometimes mask. But, above all, he was sensitive and looked out for those he loved.
I don't consider myself a comic but a performer. A comic tells bad jokes.
I'm always fighting with profanity and Christian comedy. I'm telling you, it's always a fight. Because my father said to me, he said, 'Well, Kym, I feel like comics and people that use profanity, you have a lack of vocabulary, actually, a whole lot.'
A lot of comic actors derive their main force from childish behavior. Most great comics are doing such silly things; you'd say, 'That's what a child would do.'
An angry father is most cruel towards himself.
My father could be very witty, even if the humor was always on the darker side of irony.
My dad's one of the funniest men in the world. I grew up with him making me laugh so much I'd beg him to stop.
My father is sort of the jokester. My dad is still the funniest guy in our family.
The comics I read as a kid were much more influenced by TV and movies. Encountering superheroes as an adult without that kind of childhood sentimentality, it just doesn't allow you, or in my case at least, it wouldn't let me take the characters seriously.
My father is best known for his light comedies, and I'm best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.
