We humans are not born alone; joining and being active in a club whose members share your passion for ideas and get your jokes is one of the great joys of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Jokes are so personal, and they bring us together in so many ways.
Ultimately, jokes are this really special thing that we can all share. It's exciting to have basically a thousand people in a room together that can laugh at the same time, but I think of it almost as, like, a religious experience.
Sometimes, comedy and entertainment is not all about telling jokes; sometimes you just have to be you for a few moments.
Life likes jokes; life is constantly making jokes, even at the most inopportune moments.
People try to put ownership on things: 'That's mine, that's my joke.' No such thing. Like if you tripped or stumbled and people go, 'Oh, that's Charlie Chaplin.' You know what I mean? You can't own a joke. You can be the guy that tells it the best, but you can't own a joke. Nowhere can you own a laugh.
As comedians, we are all laughing because life is so horrible. Life is so difficult, and I cope with it by making jokes about absolutely everything.
I suppose the common idea of me is that I'm going to be someone who's hyper and cracking jokes all the time, but people who meet me are soon disabused of that notion.
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
Comedy is so collaborative. You're going to come up with better jokes with people you like joking around with. It just makes sense.
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
