Jokes puns stories tales sketches and shticks saturate our culture And today the stuff of comedy is almost inescapable with allcomedy cable channels and standup comics acting as a kind of electronic oracle Were laughing more often but what are we laughing at Murray Davis knows In this inventive book he uses jokes good bad offensive and classic to reveal the truths that comedians deliver Whats So Funny is not about the psychology of humor but about the objects of our laughterthe world that comics turn upside down and inside out It also explores the logic of comedy as a serious critical assault on just about everything we take for grantedDrawing on a vast array of jokes and the work of dozens of comedians from Jay Leno and Lenny Bruce to Steve Allen and Billy Crystal Davis reminds us of the extraordinarily subversive power of comedy When we laugh we accept the truth of the comic moment that this is the way life really is The book is in two parts In the first Davis explores the cultural conventions that even simple jokes take apartthe rules of logic language rationality and meaning In the second he looks at the social systems that have been at the root of jokes for centuries authority figures power relations and institutions Whatever their style comedians use the tools of the tradeambiguous meanings missed signals incongruous characters unlikely eventsto violate our expectations about the worldSetting comedy within a rich intellectual traditionfrom Plato to Freud Hobbes to Kant in philosophy as well as sociologyDavis makes a convincing case for comedy as a subtle complex and articulated theory of culture and society He reveals the unsuspected ways in which comedy with its spotlight on the gap between appearance and reality the ideal and the actual can be a powerful mode for understanding the world we have made
