  • Getting to Grips with Comedy – As a Christian
    Transmission Spring 2011 Getting to grips with comedy – as a Christian In this piece, Paul Kerensa considers who determines the acceptable limits of comedy and whether there is an expectation that you have to be edgy to be funny and successful. There will always be a market for this darker side of comedy, but there is also a growing demand for clean, family friendly acts. ‘Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.’ form in someone’s ‘tweet’, then having to follow it up on (Albert Einstein) the BBC News website to see if it’s true. ‘No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there’s no limit.’ This is not to say that I have never laughed at an (2 Unlimited) inappropriate joke, nor indeed that I have never made an inappropriate joke. There is a time and a place and ‘Here’s one for you.’ An expression that, depending on certainly an audience for them, but there is a sense that the speaker, can fill the listener with anticipation and today crude jokes are pervading all times and all places, glee, at knowing an hilarious joke is coming their way and not all audiences want that. Since more and more … or dread, at the prospect of having to pretend to find comedians decided they wanted to push boundaries, is Paul a crude/racist/sexist/unfunny joke funny, and letting there any boundary left to push?

    King_Ch01 6/17/08 18:35 Page 19 1. “The Fun Factory” Class, Comedy, and Popular Culture, 1912–1914 One has to hand this to the Americans: with slapstick films they have created a form that offers a counterweight to their reality. If in that reality they subject the world to an often unbearable discipline, the film in turn dismantles this self-imposed order quite forcefully. siegfried kracauer, “Artistisches und Amerikanisches” (1926) When, in 1912, the Moving Picture World critic W.Stephen Bush lamented the “absence of genuine humor” in a majority of comic films, he was merely making explicit a perception that had long been accepted at the grass-roots level.1 Feeling short-changed by an industry that had drasti- cally cut back its comedy output since 1908, theater owners had taken to writing to trade journals to voice their dissatisfactions. “There is too much high class drama, which cannot be understood by the average working man,” noted one such exhibitor. “A very large proportion seems to thor- oughly enjoy the old Essanay slap-stick variety.”2 Filmmakers, too, acknowl- edged the demand: “Can you write a good comedy?” Photoplay asked its readers in October 1912. “Try it, for the producer will pay more attention to it just now than any other.”3 “Comedies, comedies, comedies,” a studio sce- narist demanded in another issue of the same publication. “Get your scriptwriting readers to try their hand at comedies; we need them, all film producers want them.”4 No doubt there was reason to be thankful, then, when the formation of a new, all-comedy company was announced that fall.

Pro-Christian Humor and the Online Carnival Abstract Humor that takes as its comedic object the beliefs, practices, and culture of Christianity has flourished in the digital age via journalistic satire, video sharing, and social network websites. Theory of the comic's use as a moderator between the sacred and the profane provide by Conrad Hyers, and the carnivalesque literary theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, reminds us that humor made at the expense of elements of Christian doctrine and culture can serve to reify and strengthen Christianity in the United States, a conclusion justified by textual analysis of three websites featuring this material. The na alysis supports that an essential rule for successfully blending humor and religion together is to avoid directly leveling the humor at God or at Christianity as a valid religion but rather restricting the ludic treatment to church practices, church culture, and individual behavior. Comments made by readers reveal that a majority approve of the ludic turn, but vehement dissent shows a strong tension between the ludic and the presupposition that religion must remain sacrosanct and solemn.
