The Comedy Portal

Comedy is a communication system for people to make other people realize how stupid some things are. Be they stupid people, places or things. Comedy is usually expressed by Comedians which may be Canadians, individuals, teams or troupes. Animators and illustrators may also qualify as comedians, as their product serves the same purpose. Certainly, Propaganda, pornography and laundry detergent advertisements may be funny, and serve as de facto comedy, but they are not officially comedy.

Internet comedy, called Lulz, was initially just about cats and a few other cute animals. It was introduced in the 1950s, with dogs introduced within a year, after much demand in the UK. It also used the terrestrial internet through ground-based modems. Later, high speed via overhead and/or underground wiring and then 3G were introduced. More recently in the 21st century, lulz has increasingly moved from analog to digital technology. (Full article...)

An artist's depiction of what Buster would have looked like at age 25...

Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) was a unique and talented comedic actor during the silent film era. Most recognized in America, he was also known throughout the world as "that one other silent movie guy who isn't Charlie Chaplin."

Pre-Acting Career (the unimportant years - feel free to skip this bit)

Buster Keaton was born in 1895, and was like most people of that time: unfunny, proper and boring, even though his parents were stage performers. Having a baby didn't cramp their style. They just tied the youngster to a support beam or stuck him in a trunk offstage to keep him out of the way while they performed, until the day he lost the end of his finger in a wash wringer accident.

Steven as a Caveman.

Professor Steven Alex Wright, also known as Stevonivich Alexei Victavski (Born September 30, 1950), the child of ex-patriot Russian circus freaks, Steven Wright had an early start being well known. He was born in the Slums of New York city, and often was forced to catch and eat rats, if he was lucky. He would later go on to befriend fellow scholar Mitch Hedberg. He would also go on to found the Tony Award winning Broadway musical Dogs.

Childhood

The ugliest child of the Victavski's, Steven was carried upside down for the first 4 months of his life. This was only discovered when, in a stroke of genius, Steven uttered his first word: Quote. However, this did not stop him from being ugly. In order to keep young Stephen occupied, Steven's mother would often tie a lump of meat to him that the wild street dogs might play with him.
