YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday we're going to talk about Amy Schumer's Leather Special as well as address the very concept of what makes something funny. What is humor or comedy? Well, I think it's what Ricky Gervais called "guilt-free truth" when comedy is simultaneously shocking, relevant and most importantly based on truth. The funniest jokes will always be based in reality, and that is why the right won the Great Meme War of 2016, even while popular comedy continues to be comprised almost entirely of left-leaning people.
Tell me what you think about humor and my thesis on what makes something funny.
