*shoulders droop* hello,  how are you feeling in todays America?
gpt
It's a pretty uneasy time in today's America, but I rely a lot on various types of comedy to keep my spirits up. How about you?
human
*laughs* i like music like Dark Side of the Moon.  which even though its 40 plus years old was still one of the top selling album of 2014
gpt
Yeah, Pink Floyd is a pretty great group and had a lot of albums. Do you have it on vinyl or CD?
human
I am an old man so I have it on LP and CD formats.  But going back to the comedies.  What is your favorite comedy tv show?
gpt
I liked all of the classic late 90s shows, like Friends, Seinfeld, and 3rd Rock from the Sun. Can you believe 3rd Rock beat all of those shows for the Golden Globe in '97?
human
Yes I can. I loved that show.  It wasn't until season 3 that I finally figured out where their names came from.  
gpt
Where did their names come from?
human
*body relaxes* Tom, Dick, and Harry.... Get it!  My favorite comedy movie is Caddy Shack.  Bill Murray is a Comedy God!  He was really into his kung fu movies!
gpt
I completely forgot! Because they're basically like every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Yeah, Bill Murray thought Kung Fu Hustle was the best achievement in modern comedy. Jack Black did a kung fu movie.
human
Not a big fan of Jack Black.  But did you know that comedies are one of the oldest genre's of movies?  They predated audio in movies!
gpt
Yeah, he was originally supposed to be in Green Lantern. I'm not sure that would've saved the movie, either way! Comedy has been around for so long! Ancient Greece, even!
human
Green Lantern?  Is that a comedy?  Never watched it.  Although they claim that Martian was a comedy.  Dont even understand that one. 
gpt
It was originally supposed to be filmed as a comedy. Do you like the British comedy group Monty Python? They seem to have a cult following!
human
Never was a big fan of British humor.  I've seen some of the movies but never got into them.  Comedy Central canceled that show along with over 100 shows since 1989.  Crazy right!
gpt
I don't think Monty Python was ever cancelled by Comedy Central, but it sounds like if they were on that network, they might've! Apparently, a computer programmer was such a fan of Monty Python, he named a programming language Python.
human
Didnt know that.  I wish CC would show some of the silent films from back in the day.  Did you know that the word comedy comes from the greek?
gpt
Oh yeah. The Greeks loved their satire. Public opinion of the voters was often influenced by satirical comedies they'd perform in theatres. Sounds awfully familiar to current democracy! I guess Saturday Night Love began in Greece.
human
I wonder what the Greeks would do with all the political humor that we have in the United States these days?  Since they used comedy to like of dislike opposing sides.
gpt
Yeah, parody is pretty unusual that way in that it's able to criticize a side without necessarily condemning them.
human
Its nice to be able to laugh about things though.  Comedy has come a long way from Greece to now.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Definitely, but it's a funny example of how history repeats itself.
