like into the 50s.
And they were pissed.
We won the fucking war!
So that was kind of similarly how I just got back from Hungary and the war never ended there.
Just new occupiers came in.
So there was a beautiful thing that happened, I think, in English humor.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
But whereas there was still an intensity after the war and all the pressure leading up to it.
You couldn't wait to get rid of Churchill and then
you know the next thing so the comedy had an edge to it that i think led to like eventually i think it was 61 when peter cook uh went on the the footlights and then that was uh you know john cleese and eric idol i think were watching that night and didn't didn't realize you can make fun of the establishment you can make i think he made fun of the prime minister peter cook and that was
And that was the beginning of the rise.
And I think that led to, you know, to another level, the high watermark of comedy in the 20th century, English Monty Python.
But I think I like the subtlety of both.
You know, when you could... I like telling a joke where I'm... The best thing for me when I'm doing stuff is, like, is to let the audience go, I just want to get this out of my way first, to get the joke in.
You know, and I go, like, you know, it's good to be back in California, but, like, I had to move because, you know, I got little kids, and it's dangerous to have kids in public school.
You know, in California, you know, in the morning you drop off a girl, in the afternoon you pick up a boy.
So you just kind of get to it.
And then, you know, the subtleties of it...
And again, in the same way, you know, you just, you get them off balance as best you can.
But I'm definitely influenced by that English humor and the way that you could, it's, it's, hopefully it's a good combination of both.
