Humorists and their Role
“There are people who can talk sensibly about a controversial issue; they're called humorists.” Alen De Botton states that “the chief aim of humorists is not merely to entertain but`to convey with impunity messages that might be dangerous or impossible to state directly`” I agree with his opinion. Humorists are entertainers; even before written history they have always been essential to society. Comedians such as Chris Rock, have never been and are praised for their entertainment. Humanity has standers, where a person with high expectations in society cannot say personal comments due to their status in the social order. Nevertheless, humorists are allow to say anything they can and without any consequences. This idea allows comedians to speak out and say what they please with impunity messages. These comedians who speak their word are found hilarious since they speak truth that we as a society can not say or we would be shun by our classes. Furthermore, humorist’s shows such as Tosh.0 or even Silent Library aren’t a threat to civilization or any political figure. They are the jesters of society. These shows help alleviate the amount of stress an individual contains from their hassles in life. They also help to maintain balance in society by providing decent enjoyment and relaxation. Humorist’s impunity messages are not always sympathetic but they still catch the audience attention by providing unnecessary attention to themselves and others as entertainment. Furthermore humorists are informers; even since the Dark Ages they have been essential to provide information. Humorists such as Stephen Colbert, from The Colbert Report, provide knowledge from the insight of politicians. He plays a major part in society not only by providing decent humor but also having information about congress and their actions. This allows us to be informed in any changes in society such as rules,
