You can laugh at somebody because they are innocent, and because they are naive or they are about to walk into a wall, but if somebody's giving you stuff, if somebody's talking, giving you their take on things, what makes you laugh, generally speaking, is going to be somebody who is telling it in an angry way.

You Can Laugh At Somebody Because They

Dylan Moran
You can laugh at somebody because they are innocent, and because they are naive or they are about to walk into a wall, but if somebody's giving you stuff, if somebody's talking, giving you their take on things, what makes you laugh, generally speaking, is going to be somebody who is telling it in an angry way.

Wall Talking Giving

More From Dylan Moran

A man or a woman is said to be absorbed when the water has total control of him, and he no control of the water. a swimmer moves around willfully. an absorbed being has no will but the water's going. any word or act is not really personal, but the way the water has of speaking or doing. as when you hear a voice coming out of a wall, and you know that it's not the wall talking, but someone inside, or perhaps someone outside echoing off the wall. saints are like that. they've achieved the condition of a wall, or a door.

Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. someone being serious or angry might be funny. if you get angry, the first thing i want to do is laugh because i don't know why you're getting that angry. pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.
Laughing Funeral Trying
I don't think i'm an angry person. i think i'm a person who's angry. i'm angry at the bush administration; i'm angry at the right wing media. and by that i don't mean the media is right wing. i mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. that's fox, that is 'the wall street journal' editorial page.
Wall Mean Thinking
"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."
Hurt Real People
People who are atheists, they hate god, they hate the expression of god, and they are angry with the world, angry with themselves, angry with society and they take it out on innocent people who are worshipping god. and whether it's a sikh temple, or a baptist church, or a catholic church, or a muslim mosque - whatever it is - i just abhor this kind of violence, and it's the kind of thing that we should do something about.
Atheist Hate Expression
Science seems to be at war with itself.... naive realism leads to physics, and physics, if true, shows naive realism to be false. therefore naive realism, if true, is false; therefore it is false.
