Carroll BryantSlap-stick comedy is really funny, unless you're the one getting slapped with the stick.
About This Quote
The whole idea of slapstick comedy is strictly an American thing. It comes from the notion that the only way to get someone to laugh is to make them laugh at something bad happening to you. The idea is that you can’t be funny unless you are setting yourself up for a fall. If you are just walking around while being funny, no one will see what you are doing.
You have to be stupid or clumsy in order for people to see your comedy routine. This is why Americans have their own sense of humor while other countries don’t have similar ones. Although there are other types of comedy in America, slapstick dominates the market.
