What? What makes something funny?

something funny?

I think it's pointing out the stuff that's hiding in plain sight.

You know, I've been working on a bit for a while I'm going to try and

figure out a way to fit it into the next special if it's not too insensitive but

the basic premise is that a gas station is a place for murder.

If you look at the old filling stations in the 50s,

where he used to be a guy coming out front and squeegee in and checking your fluids,

and now he's inside behind bulletproof glass he's got to buzz you in and like even

the signage on a gas station door it's all set up to prevent murder.

Like there's a sign on the door.

It just straight up says, we don't know how to open the safe.

Right, right, right, right.

So you've gone in a gas station your whole life, but if you've never looked at it from that perspective, then I can set a thesis and then I can start making points that hopefully break down and support my thesis statement.

I like to start with what?

And by the end of the journey of that joke go,

oh damn, okay, I see what you're saying.

Roy Wood Jr. is one of the smartest comedians around, a brilliant

guy who kills it on the Daily Show and on stage. But where most great comedians are

fearless, Roy admits that he's not fearless.

He's not that egotistical crush the audience kind of guy.

He's a thinker who likes to present his funny thoughts and stories and keep it moving.
