Portal:Comedy
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. (See more...)
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 "the other silent movie guy who isn't Charlie Chaplin".
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. When Joe and Myra found out that paying a doctor to amputate the end of Buster's crushed finger was even more expensive than paying for a babysitter would have been been, they decided to just incorporate him into the act. That way he'd be on stage so they could injure him themselves, rather than leaving his injuries purely to chance. Besides, now his injuries would be covered by workmen's comp.
Christopher "Chris" Rock III (born February 7, 1965) is a self-ascribed African-American comedian, African-American actor, African-American screenwriter, African-American television producer, African-American film producer, and African-American director. He was voted as the fifth greatest African-American stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central. His comedic subject matter frequently focuses on the cultural values, habits, and struggles of African-Americans.
Despite the few occasions when he has passingly made mention of his ethnicity, there are still those who speculate that Rock may actually be a racist white person in prosthetic makeup.
Rock began doing stand-up comedy in 1985 in New York City's Catch a Rising Star. His comedic insights and observations on African-American lifestyle saw him rise up the ranks of the comedy circuit, in addition to earning bit roles in the African-American parodying film I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and the semi African-American TV series Miami Vice.
