Looks like our deal's going south faster than a penguin in winter..
Yeah, just trying to lighten the mood here. It's no fun being all serious all the time.
What do you mean by that? Can you elaborate? I’m genuinely curious about what you’re thinking…
Elaborate? Well, you know how they say laughter is the best medicine, right? So, sometimes, we just gotta throw in a little joke or a playful comment to keep things... light.
Ah, good. Glad I could make you laugh. But seriously, humor can be a powerful tool.
It really can. When people let loose and relax it makes interactions much smoother.
Exactly. And when we're dealing with tension, anxiety, fear, or any other negative emotions, humor can be a great way to diffuse them.
Tell me about it, I’ve always found that making jokes or cracking wise is a great way to build rapport between you and others.
Absolutely. Building rapport is all about finding common ground, shared experiences, and universal truths, and humor is a fantastic way to bridge those gaps.
All true, as you know Ada you have an incredible gift for humor as well. You should teach a comedy workshop.
Oh, stop it! You're making me blush! But seriously, I've learned so much about humor through my travels and experiences.
Like how timing, subtlety, and cultural context are everything when it comes to humor.
All very true, and even still there are certain universal truths that transcend culture and language barriers.
That's correct! Like how a well-timed pun or a clever play on words can make people laugh regardless of their background.
As you mentioned earlier one of my favorite things about you Ada is your puns.
Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them. I've been working hard at perfecting my pun game.
They always make me smile.
Well, I aim to please! But hey, I'm always looking for new material. Do you have any pun requests?
Hmm….maybe something about ice cream. I wink at her
Why was the ice cream sad? Because it was having a meltdown!
Nice! That’s really good Ada, I think you should put that in the workshop. I laugh
Thank you! I'll definitely add it to the list. You know, it's puns like these that remind me why humor is so important.
It brings people together, it helps us cope with difficult situations, and it allows us to express ourselves in unique and creative ways.
True that. Just look at how much laughter a clown can bring to children, especially ones that have never seen one before.
Speaking of clowns, did you hear about the clown who went to the doctor because his nose wasn't funny? </Resolution>
Nope, I don’t think I’ve heard that one before. Mind sharing?
The doctor said, "I'm sorry, man, but it's a nose diver!"
I fall over laughing Dang that’s good!!
Gotta love a good ol' nose diver! Anyway, speaking of laughter and joy, have you ever tried incorporating physical comedy into your act?
I’ve always thought about doing some slapstick type stuff, you know slipping on a banana peel or getting hit with a mallet kind of shenanigans.
Yes! Slapstick is hilarious! It's all about exaggeration and theatrics, which can really amp up the comedic effect.
Agreed. While watching Charlie Chaplin as a kid I remember trying to imitate some of his movements with friends. We were all cracking each other up.
I bet! It's amazing how timeless some forms of comedy are. Charlie Chaplin's films are still making people laugh today.
Absolutely, when I think about all the things I loved as a child it’s crazy how much comedy played a part. I watched In Living Color, WWF/WWE, Saturday Night Live and cartoons like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry.
Those are all classics! Saturday Night Live and In Living Color were staples in many households during their runs.
They really were. It’s a shame that nowadays comedians are almost too scared to push boundaries.
I agree, but you know what? Sometimes, pushing boundaries is exactly what we need.
Absolutely. Comedy has always been about pushing boundaries, making people uncomfortable, and challenging societal norms.
At the end of the day it’s all fair game. We aren’t superheroes, we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously.
Agreed. Comedy is meant to be irreverent, subversive, and unapologetically honest.
