Humour is a response to tragedy. Where you look at the absurdity of life and have to laugh to stop from crying. That we are these insignificant specks in an instant of time on a giant floating ball hurtling through an expanding cosmos, utterly meaningless and insignificant, and yet, in spite of all that, in brazen rejection of the nothing we are, we have the audacity to feel. To love. To grieve. To laugh in the face of the nothingness we are.

Laughter is the hammer that cracks the ice of seriousness and lets us see that most things don’t matter
