A normal Unknowing Breakdown of Comedy
8 February 2019 | by ShreeSarcasmSee all my reviews

The comedy is split in different parts so as this discussion, the normally comedy has its stages as Premise,counterpart,punchline,feedback/critic

so every new conversation was started by this

Premise : louis ck (sometimes Ricky Gervais);

Counterpart: jerry seinfeld ;

punchline : chris rock;

critic : Ricky Gervais (and some meta question);

Louis Ck : its my bit and how i do it , trying to be fair with what he has. it seems like its deconstructing the louis ck jokes. and everybody giving their view on that

jerry : contradicting the same and trying to say its all about nothing , focus on the joke and growth of joke not what its different layers/dimensions are (any meta )

chris rock: thinking of bits and shows and how this could be all together different joke in his bits , he is coming with punch line and end to discussion.

Ricky Gervais : how is the comedy made , why and when is being discussed , and how is it comedic, trying to explain other comedians. he fails in most of the times , but steers up the conversation.
