Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00275)

Hallo all of you,

My views are:

Try the following:

"Student of comedy: A lot of comedy I do is kind of like anarchy by proxy.
You know, if I kick a policeman up the arse in a sketch, I'm doing it on
behalf of a lot of people who'd like to kick a policeman up the arse.

Sufi: So, in a sense, they've had that experience, by identifying with it,
and they know what it's like?



Student of comedy: Yes. I think it's true of a lot of comedy, that almost
inevitably various comics work against authority figures; violently against
authority figures. They're doing this really on behalf of the audience.
Whether they're doing this subconsciously or consciously is irrelevant. The
audience wants to do those things. They want to throw bricks through
windows, it wants to shout and scream and tear its clothes of, and you're
doing it for them.

Sufi: Does the audience want to do that to release emotion, because the
forms of release of emotion are not available?

Student of comedy: Yes, yes. I think this is really true. I think the
current skinhead [gang] phenomena is because people have no other forms of
release for these kind of pent-up feelings of violence, you know. One
doesn't approve it, but one understands it."

A friend cop of mine once said: Everytime I those funny villains get
caught - doing their Hollywood cyberstunt - it is always the same we hear.
They say: "Let me go...I am a good guy !" - But we know different, he said.
We are after all educated you know. It was just about then he tripped and
fell over the couch and hit his head on the nearby computer monitor, where
he for sure had an extraordinary experience of 3D special effects. And what
a mesh. He in fact had to by a new one. - I mean a new pacemaker, because
his cheast hit the table. (smile...)
