Prompt #10: What makes you laugh uncontrollably every time? Your answer could be your friend, an internet video/meme, a TV show, etc.

My Answer:

I think the best answer I can give you is any work by Tim Robinson. Contrary to some beliefs, his comedy isn’t as reductive as just screaming all the time. Nothing he does is predictable and rarely does it make sense, but that’s only part of his absurdist mastery. And when you think you have him figured out, he slips in micro-surprises and quips to keep you on your toes. There’s also something just hysterical about his facial expressions and line deliveries. He pushes the boundaries of your comfort levels, which forces you to be confronted with that discomfort and leaves you thinking, “Yikes, that was rough, but also how does one even think of such an oddly creative and bizarre representation of mundane reality?” Only Tim Robinson has the ability to do it on such great heights.
