#402 – Michael Malice: Thanksgiving Pirate Special

Yes, I find absurdity funny. I think that's the thing. When people come at me, And maybe this is an Eastern European thing. When they're like, how can you find this like very dark subject funny? It's like, well, the humor, first of all, the humor is that you're, making fun of something that's dark. So already it's absurd. It's completely inappropriate.

Second, just psychologically, Joan Rivers said that Winston Churchill said, I don't know if it's true, that when you make people laugh, you're giving them a little vacation. And I was just thinking about this the other day, how when I die, if I want my funeral to be a roast, It doesn't help me that everyone's sad.

If I brought people happiness or joy in life, whatever, I want to keep doing that in death. Your sadness doesn't help me. I know you can't help it, but tell stories of how it made you laugh. Make fun of me. Make me the punching bag. Even literally take me out of that coffin. Make me a piΓ±ata. I don't care. So I think, and I don't understand. Well, I do understand, but it's sad for me.
