What makes me laugh in movies and books is quite different from what makes me laugh irl or here on SYM. In movies and such I think i laugh most at really depressive things with abit to much pretentiousness in it. (Songs from second floor, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Metropolis, etc) Alternatively I laugh at obvious but not too stupid humor like Dr. Strangelove or Monty.

Irl or here im quite fine with slapstick though.

Originally posted by C Elegans A problem I have with Swedish comedy is connected to what I've previously said about Sweden as a fairly anti-intellectual culture, combined with an IMO strange love for everything the idea that people should be able to "recognise themselves". This results in Swedish comedy either being simple slap stick, or being based on very trivial events that "everybody should recognise themselves in", or a combination of the two. Satire, especially political satire is quite popular in Sweden, but such satire never has an edge, never has a really daring and sharp critisism in it, but is mostly flat, innocent imitation with funny voices and such.

There are some that is okey imo, like Tage Danielson or some early works of Claes Eriksson&Co
