Some humour loses it’s potency after a few years, but this 100 year old one still makes me smile …

Argumental – a Threesome is better in the Imagination than in Real Life

I love these Arguments, they always focus on the real important things in life.

Can I have an Evil Motivator please?

I want one of these Evil Motivators installed in every meeting room on this planet. If any office drone or manager wastes my time I get to press the release button …

Have I mentioned that I can watch this for hours? I know, my childish  Schadenfreude is insatiable!

You don’t have a cousin Paddy!

Sorry, but this cracks me up every time I see it since 1987! Not many "funny" movies have such a persistent effect …

Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe S2E4

This time Charlie looks how Politicians, the Media and the Voters interact. And how we all became like Richard Nixon. Excellent as usual. Enjoy!

I can’t wait to see Men who stare at Goats

tv_men_who_stare_at_goats

Official site: www.themenwhostareatgoatsmovie.com

The movie features a great cast of many of my favourite actors. It is based on the book with the same name.

The military is always eager to find the ultimate weapon, but I think this is the first movie that perfectly illustrate the madness behind it – combined with our current mad ideas of esoteric and spirituality.

Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe S1E1

This is pure pleasure: Charlie Brooker’s nasty and satirical comment on how the (British) Media coped with the credit crunch.

Some people have compared his television shows with Jon Steward’s Daily Show, but I think they are very different styles.

PS: Warning some nasty and dark British Humour ahead.

Charlie Brooker – How To Watch Television

Mr Brooker is my new Hero. Although this short piece is hardly as satirical as his TV shows Newswipe and Screenwipe – it already shows his style and sarcasm.

Please no more April Fools Web Jokes

Each year big and small websites try to fool their readers on 1. April. How boring and predictable. Most of these jokes are not very funny either. So save your energy and stop that stupid herd behaviour.

How much Humor can you have in War?

war_humor_in_war

In face of mass destruction, murder, rape, huge amounts of death people … how can you resist the surrealism of the situation.

Is it sarcasm? Cynicism? Or simply the mind protecting itself against the horror it experiences?

Sometimes going for a cheap joke or laugh is worth all the bitching afterwards. She will forget someday, but you’ll remember that hilarious moment forever.

Have I got News for you – the Brian Blessed episode

Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 4.5

I am a huge fan of British Humor – and some of their TV as well like "Have I got news for you" and "QI".

Compared to US television the Brits can be very raunchy and would say stuff that would give the American FCC multiple heart attacks (like Stephen Fry’s famous "arse gravy" quote).

This episode of HIGNFY with Brian Blessed as the host was so hilarious that the BBC didn’t broadcast it. But some generous soul made available via YouTube.

Enjoy!

R.I.P. George Carlin

Another one of my Heroes just passed away. I discovered George Carlin just a few years ago and I was hooked immediately. Like other great man – Kurt Vonnegut – he spoke the truth in a clear, often harsh way. He used comedy as a vehicle for change and political criticism.

Are there any replacements? I don’t see any?

Humor her to get into her pants!

psyche_humor_and_mating

The ugly and poor guys only chance to get the girl is to be "funny". I haven’t figured out why, but humor and charm seems the best weapon against the wealth and higher social status of male competitors.

I am wondering why the female psyche is so vulnerable humor?

Does humor have an evolutionary advantage?

Why are there so few funny woman – and why are most Comedians Guys?

modern_women-and_cds

Is there such a thing as a gender gap in humor?! When I look at my personal experience as well as pop culture there are hardly any funny women around. When you look at the list of great and funny entertainers of the last twenty years – you hardly find any females in the business. Why?!

Some people attribute guys humor as a last resort to get himself a woman anyway. Even if you are ugly as hell you can’t impress the chicks if you are funny guy. Woman love funny guys.

But does that work for women as well? Does a funny ugly woman get laid, just because she can impress with her humor? I doubt it.

Socia–Biology as the real reason behind the humor gender gap?

modern_funny_female_faces

Maybe it’s also a chick thing not to embarrass themselves in front of others? Guys have no problem farting and belching in front of a big audience. It’s a guy thing alright. But women don’t fart (loudly) and they don’t make jokes or funny faces either. At least not many. And most women don’t seem to know funny stuff or are willing to perform any practical jokes.

modern_bunch_of_clowns

It could be an historical thing: women were not allowed to act in certain cultures. Female roles were playing by guys like in Japan, China and many parts of Europe. Also the Clowns and Jesters were mostly a male affair.

But the woman are slowly catching up in TV, movies and real life. I love Tina Fey’s writing and acting in ’30 Rock’ … but she is still a minority compared to the Stephen Colberts, John Stewards and Stephen Frys of this planet …
