Comedy, as an art form, has never reached the appreciation it deserves. The difficulty of writing it has been well documented by an assundry of learned people throughout the annals of time. The great Punic, between Carthage and Rome couldn’t come together on whether Plato was a better philosopher or insult comic. Of course, that isn’t true but it was so ludicrously absurd as to prompt a reaction that made you, for a brief momentl at least. Laughing is the elixir of life. Just compare how you feel after watching A Serbian Film, then compare that to how you felt after watching Frank Capra’s classic film It Happened One Night.
With that in mind, LBJBR presents the greats of humor, in all the different media, film, TV, performance and literature.
