Climbing
the mountain ‘til we reach the top!”
-Ice-T,
Rappin’ (1985)
“Most
of the world's problems could be avoided if people just said what they f**king
meant.”

Mellick III, Teeth and Tongue Landscape
“We
stress that the activity of joking cannot be said to have no aim or purpose,
for it has set itself the unmistakable aim of arousing pleasure in the
listener.”
“The
most powerful stimulus to the joke-work is the presence of strong tendencies,
reaching into the unconscious, which represent a special aptitude for producing
jokes and may explain why the subjective conditions for making jokes are so
frequently fulfilled in neurotic persons.”
“There
are other ways of regaining nonsense and deriving pleasure from it; caricature,
exaggeration, parody, and travesty make use of it, and in this way create
‘comic nonsense.’”
-Sigmund
Freud, The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious
"Sometimes
I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm
not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already
felt."
-Her
“It
is arguable that an element of our enjoyment of these clever jokes is a
self-congratulatory awareness of our own cleverness in enjoying them. We feel
ourselves to be, as it were, in the company of clever people like ourselves,
and feel joyful at the distinction it confers. We laugh in self-glorifying
delight.”
“Tendentious
jokes thus allow us to return to primary sources of pleasure normally barred by
our internal censorship.”
-John
Carey

wrong with you? You just ran that guy over! You must have a low IQ!”
