Art Jokes

"Getting" art is like getting a joke because art is jokes now. When you're telling a joke and nobody laughs, that's because your joke wasn't funny. Or maybe it was funny but then you fucked it up, which is not the point because the same thing happened: no laughing. When that happens it's never because people didn't "get" it.

A lot of jokes these days are "can you believe it?'s", which are sometimes not that funny, because what if you can believe it? Also it's like that thing where the joke isn't funny because the person is trying too hard to make you laugh and you're like "why don't you just fucking relax?" instead of laughing at your own joke to make me do it too. (I do this sometimes.)

And that's my new dissertation. I call it "art jokes."
