Why being funny is no joke - Health News, Health & Wellbeing - Independent.co.uk

Most – but not all – are either depressive or suffer from personality disorders (such as febrile emotions, "me, me, me" narcissism or omnipotence). Of course that does not, in itself, explain why they are so funny – millions of people have those problems and do not invent Basil Fawlty or create Blackadder. Using pathology to explain art entails oversimplified reductionism of the most intellectually vulgar kind. But, having done in-depth TV interviews with seven leading comics and having met many others, I feel that it must be acknowledged that misery is a necessary condition for great humour in the vast majority of cases. Cleese once took me out to lunch in 1983.

Perhaps you aren't able to read at all and this guide is being read to you by a friend or co-worker. Then this guide is for you.
