I hear lots of comedians talking about "the evolution of comedy" but the way I learned it was an old man toiling through a list of dirty words and it was Created on the seventh.

If comedy evolved then where did the brick wall come from? Some guy standing in front of a single brick and cracking jokes and they thought it was so good they kept adding bricks? Not likely. Some aspects of comedy are too complex not to have been designed.

Comedy guy: Take my wif, please!
Comedy evolver: Pretty funny, but could be a bit funnier.

Comedy guy 1950: Take my wife, please.
Comedy gal, Filipino Muslim: Take my wifi, please!

And I'm supposed to believe that's the same process that led to Michael Richards screaming the n-word? Take my knife, please.

Are you really going to tell me that this is what jokes came from? Somehow this turned in to a joke just overnight and started making more jokes. Yeah, I don't think so.

3.5 billion years ago when a paramecium accidently ate a chunk of dirt instead of a diatom the other paramecium in the vicinity would wiggle their cilia in an early form of laughter.

Why did the small dinosaur with scales which were loose and frilled cross the veldt?

Sorry, that does not convince me.

:rolleyes: It started off with the proto-comedian saying 'take my wife *insert my-wife-is-a-bitch jokes*' before Henny Iuvenis developed the ability to recognise that 'take my wife' can be used in another sense. I know evolution is complicated - I don't even understand it all myself! - but it makes more sense than your sky-fairy bestowing the Sumerians with the first fart joke.

Jokes were not accounted for in the creation of earth and those who make them will be punished by she who lacks form.

But seriously folks, I'm dying out here. *A younger, more agile comedian leaps onto the stage as I pass from genetic memory. Her magnificent dewclaws are perfectly adapted for physical comedy.*

My set killed. Unfortunately my natural prey reserves were depleted and now I will starve, leaving the way open for opportunistic "puppet guys" and "racists" to mine scraps of dirty mirth from my leavings. Nature is not a land of kings, but of thieves.

The febrile ecology created by the success of a great satirist generally results in thriving communities of scavengers and small parasites, perfectly adapted to suck the irony from the apex comedian's joke and propound the drained result as an incoherent philosophical belief. Sometimes they do jokes too, but fascinatingly, these appear to be strictly vestigial - perhaps passed down from an earlier, less disgusting ancestor.

the first caveman to come up with comedy was andrew dice clay. from humble beginnings comedy has evolved from smoking a cigarette in a funny manner to hitting people in the crotch with golf.

Paleolithic cave drawings depicting a lone figure standing in front of a crowd. strange facial expressions in the crowd depict laughter

in a neighboring cave: the same lone figure is shown, the crowd expressing looks of disgust and anger
