   What makes a comedian laugh?

   • A comedian will present a situation followed by an unexpected interpretation that is also apt. So even if a punchline sounds silly, the listener can see there is a clever semantic fit and that sudden mental 'Aha!' is the buzz that makes us laugh. Viewed from this angle, humour is just a form of creative insight, a sudden leap to a new perspective.

   Is 'laugh to keep from crying' a dreary ride?

   • That premise may not exactly sparkle, and the documentary begins with a lot of talk about the value of humor as a coping mechanism within the black community — “laugh to keep from crying,” as one panelist puts it. At this point, the film has the potential to be a dreary ride.
