Title: Profundity is comedy, comedy is profundity
Post by: THE QLIPHITISER on August 06, 2018, 11:28:36 AM
All jokes reveal a serious upside, all serious pronouncements reveal an ironic humor (even if it is unknown to the speaker).




Don't get all Freudian on this post though, I didn't make this thread because of anxiety over sexual inadequacy in bed.......or did I? probably yes and no.

So all the times I tried to sound profund, I could've just been funny. So much wasted thoughts.

I was just thinking about how Jackass might be seen as Dadaist art; They had a bungee toilet, a man flying a kite with his ass, and a little person tethered to a big fat guy diving into a river.

The fact that I like the interpretation despite the violence it does to my personal impression of the show, that's saying something.

All humour is a way of dispelling the fear/threat of DEATH.

The Late Joe Cosby once said "You make up the most insane joke you can possibly come up with based on events around you. Then tomorrow you look in the paper and find out you weren't joking." 

If you still laugh, you're a Discordian.  If you laugh and get pissed off at the same time, you're a Subgenius.  If you stop making jokes, you're a Pastafarian (bonus Pastafarian points if you also work in something to do with Adam Smith and/or Ayn Rand).

The point I was making is that comedy is deadly serious.

Nothing on the fucking planet is deadly serious.  Not a Goddamn thing.

On a semi-related note, there's also a horseshoe effect of shallowness towards appearance. On the one end there's "It doesn;t matter that you don't meet society's idea of beauty, what's important is what's on the inside" and on the other end you have "It doesn;t matter that you don't meet society's idea of beauty, what's important is you've got a part that I want to put it inside"

Semi-related to what?

to silliness looping back around into the profound. It's along the same lines. I suppose "semi-related" is a bit strong a term, I probably should have went with "tangential"

But anyway there's arguably a general horseshoe effect between the base and the refined.

Howl is full of shit, he knows JUST how serious it is... that said, whatever happens, happens. If you can't laugh at it you're sad indeed, just don't fucking live in a ghost cave inspecting laughter.

You're making one hell of an assumption, here.
