I'm Not a Comedian



i'm not a comedian,...

By TheBohemianAthiest





            ...But if you take the time to comprehend what most comics joke about, you'll realize the center of it derives from pain and suffering,  mainly their own. 

 


           Most come from an abusive home, whether it be an addiction or physical/mental abuse. As the family takes on the roles to cope with the trauma, a comedian becomes the "mascot". 

         Some family members distance themselves by hiding in there rooms, others focus obsessively on school or work. The comedian stands out in the open with a chuckle in his voice, joking away serious family problems to cope. He's fun at parties, yet no one can say they truly know him.

        "good, old dad's drunk again.. family moments" (laugh track)

         Comedy can take a dark subject too painful to examine, and point out the truly laughable insanity of the world. Furthermore, we should allow the people who can bring us joy from their pain a bad joke or two. Everyone tells one sometime.



Just think about it, you'll get it.

  1. Although not always from an abusive home, it's very common for a comedian to be depressed outside the stage.

    The 'sad clown' image is exactly true.
