belly laughs.
of the public who attends the last comedy show in the country.
Exhibition of jokes made in rapid succession, you can not even take a breath to breathe, that once there comes another. Would you like to Thee
stop, and try to find out more.
to better understand what you heard.
But already the stream of hands clapping covers you, engulfs your every good intention, so that shoots straight to expect that, going forward in listening, adds more and better.
In a continuous crescendo.
And, listening to the laughter around you, you think there's something automatic, in all this.
Laughter at once, and instantly, to what he feels. Without
be thinking about it.
Furthermore, it could be otherwise.
Otherwise, we would have something other than comedy.
Yeah, but what, exactly, is the humor?
Pirandello helps us a bit 'in the definition, explaining that the comedy is something that causes instant laughter in the listener, the laughter that follows must be completely natural, nothing more than an accompaniment (even inevitable, if want), comic opera: the birth of the joke, and now it comes the laughter, as the comedy in itself has the ability to develop immediately to the viewer ... comedy is fun, so for example, when the clumsy Hardy puts a foot wrong, and falls to the ground with all her plump figure.
The Sicilian playwright gives us, however, also understand that the humor is something other than humor: the latter, in fact, has in it a touch more sophisticated, so do not provoke any laughter instantaneous, but requires, but in the listener a careful process of interpretation, because, before the healthy humor, you need to be, so to speak, prepared, you can not laugh if you did not understand, you risk a bad figure, and moreover even the laughter that accompanies the humor is quite different from that which is through humor, laughter is not a question of free and open (the one with teeth bared , for instance), but maintaining a more content, because there is already humor, a culture and refinement that the comedy, more direct, does not own, then it is assumed that the user of humor is not one who is content with little.
Groucho's jokes are humorous in the pages of Dylan Dog.
And, of course, not always the Investigator of the force has to receive them, so, often, his reaction is, by his assistant, very unpleasant.
In defining the contours (and the appropriate differences) of humor and comedy, Pirandello, however, does not tell us what definition should be given, however, the irony.
The other day, not having, as is my habit, nothing better to do than argue about things that are of no use to anyone, I found myself even touch the subject of irony.
I thought the irony is the most depressing and there loser in life.
The irony here is stuff for losers, for people listless without any desire to do (or, really want to do misdirected), for those who seek the conviction of having lost a compass, for people who never says what he thinks out loud for fear of upsetting someone.
For people like me, in fact.
Yes, because the irony is merely the result of a failure.
In the beginning was, once again, the humor.
That is, there was the attempt to make someone laugh.
better if once, without much explanation.
But the public turned out not ready, and condemned our artist experimenter.
Furthermore, it is not say that a show is to end by force to the sound of applause and bells (in a positive way, in short, La Corrida television docet) is always close to the bogeyman of the whistles and tomato sauce in his face.
Here, then, that our artist can not do it: he wanted to laugh, but nobody understands.
Destino wants, however, that our artist is one who, after a fall, instead of staying at recrimirare because his leg hurts, gets up and starts again.
for a new adventure (as are all the losers).
The public does not understand?
Want more?
Then we try to give it to him, this one!
it their way, of course.
The humor is not at our level, as it is something too high, it takes too much culture to get there, and then, this implies that we must also turn to those few who know how to figure out, losing the opportunity to bring the others.
It is never our artist loser and loser do things only for a limited group of spectators.
He is committed (to failure) for all, wants to open his heart to anyone unconditionally.
And for that, it takes some cunning (of the unpretentious).
So, trying and try again, our artist gives a little grumpy, but not that much, let's say that comes out quite a temper, and here the irony is beautiful and packed.
For use and consumption (especially the latter).
With irony, the artist loser who did not really want (or even no reason) to engage in the creation of something particularly research and study, and after failing the most direct proof of all (ie laugh here and now, in a comic), may have at its disposal a proven and effective method for instilling in the listener at least a smile, maybe a little 'cold, but sufficient to rejoice the heart, because he ( ie the artist) knows that he would not dare ask for more.
Then there are artists who are not satisfied even this, and want to add a little more evil.
So, from comedy (point of origin of everything), and passing through the irony, you arrive, failure after failure, to sarcasm, especially designed with the intention to sting the public is not readily available, because, once all the streets have failed, there is no other way that the atavistic aggression.
But ironically, the artist is still too good to get to this.
knows that, if no one laughs when he talks, it's because he did not speak loud enough.
And the next time around, there could be a new listener, closer, put there to feel better.
Then he goes ahead with his song, which comes directly in the head, and that there is also the night in the dark, when he finds himself alone in her room, and wants so that someone else to put on a stage made up of players who play for the sole purpose to make her laugh.
Nobody wears a clown costume, without being, first, a man.
