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...)
Thank you, thank you! Thank you everyone, hey how's it goin'? ....thank you. Hey, how's everybody doin' tonight? You havin' a good time?...Oh...No?...well, that's what you came to the comedy club for, right? AAAALRIGHTY!
Hey everyone, I gotta tell ya. I was watching TV yesterday, and I noticed something. You know what really sucks?: Observational comedy.
You know how comedians, I mean stand up comics, you know, they'll stand on the stage, and just talk to you about how they noticed something when they were, like, I dunno, mowing the lawn, or feeding the baby, or watching TV or something? Yeah, and then, like, they noticed it, and it totally isn't funny, but then they get up on stage and start talking about it and everybody laughs? (pause) What's up with that, am I right?
Donald "Don" Martin (May 18, 1931 – January 6, 2000) was a noted American cartoonist who wielded a special influence over Baby boomers, freeing them from the confines of sobriety imposed by the World War generations.
In his life, Martin became a totally mad artist whose strange talent naturally led him into the U.S. military and a quieter atmosphere more suited to the freedom of expression he intensely craved. During World War II, Martin excelled as an Army recruiter whose famous war poster, "Who needs you?", had gung-ho farm-boys from Texas to North Dakota clamoring to die for the lost-freedom of arrogant Europeans.
Martin's best-known works, however, were published in Mad magazine between 1956 to 1988. He had two distinct styles: patently insane and totally bombastic. Both styles are especially noted for their absurd, exaggerated character formations, onomatopoeic sound effects, and blunt, moronic plot devices. Indeed, Martin was a legend in our own mind.
