What’s so Funny?
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
I have said before that I often burst into fits unprovoked laughter. Someone once told me I sound like the love child of the Joker and the Count from Seasame Street. Besides the fact that half of my co-workers think I’m crazy and wonder what the hell is so funny, it feels pretty good. Actually it feels good when no one knows whats going on. Sometimes I see something that triggers a thought or memory. Sometimes a thought or memory just hits me. Hell if I say a certain phrase to myself I can’t help but laugh…funny how I don’t laugh at the dudes on comicview isn’t it. Anyway I give you all a few reasons I might have a laughing fit.
This commercial kills me. Not because there are neanderthals. Not because one of them orders the roast duck with the mango salsa. When dude says he’s lost his appetite and just grits on the Geico representative I lose it and I don’t know why.
For those of you who’ve seen Paid in Full (or if you haven’t) there is a scene where the main character has been shot (and is hemmed up and bed ridden). He’s explaining that he doesn’t breathe the same and won’t walk the same when his “man” (played by Cam’ron) Says, “People get shot everyday A.” Then he sends me all the way over the edge when he says, “Tuck ya man in, get him some soup and I’ll catch ya’ll later.” You just gotta see it.
Beyond the fact that this episode features Elaine’s seizure like dancing, the end is a special treat for me. After being arrested for bootlegging movies George sits in the police station crying. His father bursts in loudly and blames the situation on Elaines employee because “my son isn’t smart enough to hatch a scheme like this.” When Elaine says, “You got that right” the next comment and all that follows are pure comedy for me…
Frank: My George isn’t clever enough to hatch a scheme like this.
Elaine: You got that right.
Frank: What the hell does that mean?
Elaine: It means whatever the hell you want it to mean.
Frank: You sayin’ you want a piece of me?
Elaine: I could drop you like a bag of dirt.
Frank: You wanna piece of me? You got it!
“Make my beats faggot!” This one is new, an excerpt from an interview with CL Smooth about some comments Pete Rock made about him. You gotta read this one.
i understand why you found it funny but the whole CL and Pete Rock thing was just sad. I remember reading the interview thinking these brothers are never going to get back in the studio together..

It’s like laugh to keep from crying on that one. More of my youth down the drain.

“stop throwing rocks at the dome because we will knock your teeth the f*** out! I love you, Pete Rock”…NOW THATS COMEDY!!!!!
I know someone, who just happens to be a member of the paler nation. Well shes doesnt like me because I saw her young daughter dance, and It brought tears to my eyes, and when she asked me what was wrong, I told her, “your daughter dances like elaine!!!”

You know, I love the spontaneous outbursts of laughter. I love them too. Especially when others have not a clue what you’re laughing about. WHy sometimes, I erupt into peals of laughter everytime George Bush opens his mouth!

the neanderthal commercial scares me, so i have to turn it off…
i think that nearly everything cam’ron says sounds mildly handicapped, & therefore, i find it funny. i think that statement just landed me the balcony aisle seat in hell, next to ronald reagan.

Not laughing at Comic View makes you normal. That crap just isn’t funny anymore. ALL the Geico commercials kill me. I’ve got a messed up sense of humor though.
