Today I watched a two hour special on comedy and its origins. It was primarily about the different social elements that arise from telling jokes. Racial stigmas, sexist bashing, and all other taboos that are typically presented during a comics routine. The comics that were interviewed were carefully chosen to provide both insight as well as entertainment to move the flow of the show along. Lewis Black as always was a great host, and I actually might go see him in Berkeley next month. I dunno but jokes are hitting the spot right now. Probably gonna watch some more stuff on the Tube later...
