There's a difference between being a comic and a comedian. A comic is a guy who says funny things, and a comedian is a guy who says things funny, and he has a style and point of view that will last much longer.
When I write, I'm not trying to be funny. It's the way I look at the world.
If life a joke then I’m waiting for the punch. You all about the beef but me, I’m bout the bun.
My favorite kind of humor is basically, if it was happening to you, it wouldn't be funny, but to observe it, it's hilarious.
We've always been interested in the commentary on politics and society and how comedy always sort of cuts that with a nice laugh, and the perspective it brings.
Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
Comedians who aren't screenwriters are telling jokes that they themselves think are funny. They're expressing their own view of what they think funny is.
Humor is about perspective, and hanging out with people who see life through a similar lens is so important.
I think Detroit deserves a comedy that's not about suffering.

A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference. It pardons shortcomings, it consoles failure.
One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
