We have always had gross humor. But we try for funny, not gross.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there's a little confusion between humor and 'gross' passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable, because they aren't the same thing.
Why do we laugh at such terrible things? Because comedy is often the sarcastic realization of inescapable tragedy.
Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.
I personally do not find puke funny. I find it disgusting.
I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
I think we're all good and bad, but good's not funny. Bad is funny. Suppress the good and let the bad out, and then you can be funny.
I think I have always had a little humor.
I think a lot of humor is about distracting yourself. Pretend you're not trying to make it funny. Because for some reason the effort to be funny smells like sulphur in our culture.
Well, I mean, if a joke or humor is bawdy, it's got to be funny enough to warrant it. You can't just have it bawdy or dirty just for the sake of being that - it's got to be funny.
Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
