Hi. Do you like comedy?  I didn't know until recently that comedy originated in ancient greece.
gpt
ya I do like comedy, I like that Drew Carey got his start doing comedy when he was in the marines
human
*relaxed posture* I didn't know that. I had no idea he was in the marines!  The greek that comedy was two groups against one another in an amusing conflict.
gpt
yup, comedy is cool it was founded in ancient Greece which I didnt know
human
It's got to be hard to do too.  I mean, comedy central has cancelled over 100 shows since 1989.
gpt
*eyes widen* that is crazy, its funny too the first comedy film was a guy slipping on a banana peel to fall into horse poop haha
human
It is funny.  I'm guessing it was an old film and even still today that would be funny!  Hey,did you know that ancient greece did political satire and it influenced their voters?  Sounds a lot like today's world.
gpt
that does sound like today, I like parody best though, it subverts your expectations and critiques without condemning
human
I like that too.  It seems nicer.  Everyone has their favorite though.  Bill Murray thinks kung fu hustle is the supreme achievement of modern age comedy.
gpt
haha I do like that movie, have you seen Evan Almighty?
human
*relaxed posture* I think I have. Is that the one with Jim Carrey?  
gpt
*takes a step forward* that was Bruce Almighty, this one was actually the most expensive comedy ever made
human
Are you serious?  There are so many others out there I would think would be just as expensive if not more.  I wonder if it did any good.  Trojan Wars had a budget of $15,000,000 and only earned $309.
gpt
haha weird, also weird its been 40 years since a comedy won best picture
human
That is weird.  Everyone likes comedy but I guess since everyone's tastes are different it's hard to single one thing out for an award.  Then again, tv shows are different.  3rd Rock from the Sun won best comedy series in 1997. It beat out the greats- Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier.
gpt
*eyes widen* I like all those shows! did you know empire strikes back somehow was nominated for a comedy award back in 1981
human
No I didn't know that! I don't see how that could be considered a comedy at all.  That reminds me of the movie the green lantern. It was going to be a comedy originally.
gpt
haha that movie was horrible, did you ever see MOrtal Kombat 2?
human
No I didn't see that.  I know a little about it though. Isn't it from a video game?  I don't know who is in it but I know it's not Tom Hanks. He's the highest all time box office star.
gpt
*takes a step back* ya Mortal Kombat 2 was the first game to make more than the hollywood movie based on it, so the game was good but the movie was unpopular
