Lenny BruceThe only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it...try to fake three laughs in an hour -- ha ha ha ha ha -- they'll take you away, man. You can't.
About This Quote
When comedian Rodney Dangerfield said, “The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it. Try to fake three laughs in an hour—ha ha ha ha ha—they'll take you away, man. You can't.” he was speaking of the impossibility of trying to fake something that truly elicits laughter. Laughter is, at its core, an authentic reaction to life—a reaction that cannot be faked no matter how hard someone tries.
