More From Paul Merton

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

I learned all those jokes in second grade. second grade is really where they tell you those horrific jokes, racist jokes and misogynistic jokes that you have no idea what they mean, and you just memorize them because they have a very strong effect, they make people laugh in this kind of nervous, horrible way, and it's only later that you realize that you've got a head full of crap.
Strong Mean Ideas
Sometimes, comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny, it's characters that are funny. and isn't that true! that's why i always kill jokes. i'm terrible at them, because i get the joke right, but i can't get the character right, and it just goes down like a lead balloon.
Character Balloons Sometimes
I like to make jokes; i consider myself a funny person. i just think making jokes about people who are in a situation beyond their control is not funny to them or their families.
Thinking People Situation
Real racist jokes or sexist jokes aren't funny - not because they're offensive, but because they're not true. as soon as a joke is based on an untruth, it's not funny.

When you act, you're being asked to pretend in a very rigid, controlled environment. it's very un-childlike. so a lot of times, when you put kids in that situation, you hope they have a better support system outside of what they're doing to bring them back to reality at the end of the day and to keep them well-rounded.
