Are you a fan of stand up comedy?
gpt
Hello there, I am how about you?  I have never been to a live show though, I would like too. 
human
Yes, I have. I like stand up better than improv as I am always nervous that the improv actor won't come up with anything funny. 
gpt
Yeah that is true.  Speaking of comedy in general, did you know that Bill Murray considers Kung Fu Hustle to be the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy?
human
I think I read that somewhere and found it surprising. Thank heavens Netflix lets us watch comedy over and over again! 
gpt
Yeah imagine if they took all of the comedy related content out of Netflix?  That would be such a huge chunk of their stuff!
human
Which just goes to show you that folks these days are looking for entertainment that allows them to possibly escape from their everyday reality.
gpt
Yeah and comedy is a great way to do it.  Did you that the Green Lantern film was originally going to be a comedy?
human
I can't imagine how that would have worked. I  guess when I think of comedy, I feel it has to include some satire including political . 
gpt
Yeah and satire is often the best kind of comedy.  Do you know how many shows Comedy Central has cancelled since 1989?
human
Were there a lot? If there were a lot, I wonder why?
gpt
Yeah I guess it was over 100 shows, that is a lot.  But comedy is pretty tough to do so I can understand that. 
human
I am thinking that one of the reasons Netflix comedies are so popular over attending a live venue is the admission cost. Did you know that The Kennedy Center charges anywhere from $49 to $69 to attend comedian Patton Oswalt's upcoming live show?
gpt
Wow, and I don't think that is too expensive relative to other comedy acts, so that is too high for me to be honest. 
human
In addition to the fact that one has to get dressed up and leave the house to attend a live comedic show. Patton Oswalt would have to be pretty funny for me to want to do that!
gpt
*tilts head* Yeah he would, or else whoever I was taking out would really have to like him. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* So we have come a long way from the days of Greek comedies where different groups of society were pitted against each other - and that was considered amusing.
gpt
Yeah that would be pretty wild to go back then and see what was considered funny.  I don't think it would be the same as now. 
human
Although I suspect there is some of that in todays' movies - for example youth versus social convention. 
gpt
Oh yeah and I think there will always be that, but I guess that is one reason why it is so great. 
human
I found it interesting that Blockbuster basically went out of business and Netflix made the transition from the DVD rental business to live streaming. I wonder what Netflix saw that Blockbuster didn't?
gpt
*tilts head* Yeah and they had the chance to buy them as well.  It was nice chatting with you today, I hope you have a good day.
