The art and science of funny

Comedyology is the study of the craft of Comedy. Comedy is a communication system for people to make other people realize how stupid some things are. Be they stupid people, places or things. Comedy is usually expressed by Comedians which may be Canadians, individuals, teams or troupes. Animators and illustrators may also qualify as comedians, as their product serves the same purpose. Certainly, Propaganda, pornography and laundry detergent advertisements may be funny, and serve as de facto comedy, but they are not officially comedy.

Internet comedy, called Lulz, was initially just about cats and a few other cute animals. It was introduced in the 1950s, with dogs introduced within a year, after much demand in the UK. It also used the terrestrial internet through ground-based modems. Later, high speed via overhead and/or underground wiring and then 3G were introduced. More recently in the 21st century, lulz has increasingly moved from analog to digital technology.

Cracker Barrel is a Southern US-themed family style restaurant that operates in North America, particularly in the United States. The chain has locations in 41 states with each business consisting of a restaurant and a country store that sells cheap junk that only your grandmother would want to buy. The nostalgia of the "stuff" these folks peddle easily offsets the extremely poor and toxic quality of the goods. The food itself is fairly decent considering it is processed southern comfort food. Cracker Barrels can be found along the fine Interstate Highways of America: if you see an exit or interchange, chances are there's a Cracker Barrel lurking around the corner waiting to ambush unsuspecting travelers.

The more you drink, the funnier this is • Comedy was invented by God when he created the Duck-billed Platypus? • A priest, a rabbi and a minister walked into a bar and ordered a drink. • Karl Marx is considered the father of Comedism. • In Poland, Polish jokes are just called jokes. • What is more disgusting than a pile of dead light bulbs? • Jesus is coming, so try and look busy. • No bumper stickers were harmed, making this list.

Chris Rock (born February 7, 1965) is a self-ascribed African-American comedian, African-American actor, African-American screenwriter, African-American television producer, African-American film producer and an African-American director. He was voted as the fifth greatest African-American stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central. His comedic subject matter frequently focuses on the cultural values, habits, and struggles of African-Americans.

Despite the few occasions when he has passingly made mention of his ethnicity, there are still those who speculate that Rock may actually be a racist white person in prosthetic makeup.

Rock began doing stand-up comedy in 1985 in New York City's Catch a Rising Star. His comedic insights and observations onAfrican-American lifestyle saw him rise up the ranks of the comedy circuit in addition to earning bit roles in the African-American parodying film, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and the semi African-American TV series Miami Vice.
