Thinking Keys Laughing

More From Stephen Fry

"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."

There never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. there are many. these truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.

Humor is not an unconditional virtue; its moral character depends on its object. to laugh at the contemptible, is a virtue; to laugh at the good, is a hideous vice. too often, humor is used as the camouflage of moral cowardice.

An interesting difference between african-american humor and jewish humor, in it's kind of basic or maybe most austere type form is, african-american humor, some of it comes out of playing the dozens in which you insult the other person or insult the other person's mother, and so much of jewish humor is like, you're insulting yourself. it's totally self-deprecating.

I like hitler, jolly jolly hitler.

Wit is artificial; humor is natural. wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation.
