    Dude is funny. To be funny you need to be smart. If you pair that with a bit of empathy you get a decent human being. That is the formula.

      To be funny you need to be smart.

      Eh. To be funny, it helps to appear insightful and transgressive. But you can make up for a lack of one by exceeding in the other.

      People find Johnny Knoxville’s Jackass show incredibly funny, for instance.

      Hell, people find Donald Trump quite funny. Like, if he was a TV Show President on a spin-off of Veep, where the character Donald Trump beats the character Selina Miers to the Presidency? Solid gold. Best show on HBO, no contest.
