Comedy and humor, are in the eyes and ears of the beholder.

What you find funny, others may not. And vice versa.

True.

Something I heard from a professor and hadn’t noticed before:

Everything in humor is based on hostility.

Jerry Lewis’s lurching,crouching walk is in imitation of people who can’t help their afflictions that cause spastic movements. Hee Haw was making fun of country people with little education. Plus the obviously hateful standup comics on current late night shows (Jimmy Kimmel on three kings cards in a row must have reminded Trump of his beloved KKK). Or our beloved Caddyshack, Airplane, Police Squad, the Jerk, Animal House and Blazing Saddles.
