I honestly have to say that this "History of the Joke" documentary had both its fair share of good moments, as well as its not-so-good moments, too. Yep. That it did.
Hosted by American comedian, Lewis Black - I certainly found that this 90-minute presentation actually managed (at times) to take the humor right out of the joke by seriously over-analyzing the recurring question of "What makes us laugh?"
'Cause - Let's face it, folks - What may be considered hilarious to some may not necessarily be so to others.
(*Note*) - Some psychologists actually view the emotional release of laughter as being a form of uncontrollable insanity..... (Oh!? Yeah!? Like - That's so funny, I forgot to laugh!)
