Comedy is only funny if it contains truth in some form, otherwise it’s just random nonsense. Either it contains true statements that are funny in the current context, or statements that the audience either want to be true or is afraid could be.
- snowwrestler 7y agoOf course there is truth; everyone knows that Apple has had problems with their keyboards. What is funny is suggesting that that should be the #1 priority for the Writers Guild of America.
- sudhirj 7y agoThat's the true statement that's funny in the current context. Using that statement in the WGA context is the joke. If he was complaining on the Mac User Forum it wouldn't be a joke, just a complaint. As with any good joke, if you read deeply and between the lines, he's also clearly stating his opinion on the WGA and its problems. I'm just not familiar enough with the circumstances to know what the satire is about.
