In fact, it was first told by an ACTUAL famous clown, named Grimaldi, in the late 17-early 1800's.
The original joke goes:
A young man goes to see his doctor. He is overcome by a terrible sadness and doesn't think anything will make him feel better. The doctor says, "Why not do something happy, like going to see Grimaldi the clown?". The young man answers, with a knowing look, "Ah, but Doctor", he says, "I am Grimaldi."
"Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci"
maybe not better but, idk shorter. it brings out the black humor
I don't get why ppl get so pissed at Penhall... He's just dealing with the grief differently, can't they understand that? it's not a good way, not by far, but I think it's pretty obvious... especially since they all know him and (should) know that he's not such a crude person... =/
because hes just like a very loving person haha :) and also this time its because he feels that its his fault kinda too ..that he died so yeah i would probably be like that too if i were him in that situation... :(
You mean the joke about the clown? The therapist wanted him to see gramaldie! That will make him feel better and not depressed! But he IS Gramaldie! So now what? Who is going to make him feel better now? ROFL
I wasn't making a joke. . .just sayin' he always looks hot, even when he's annoyed. . .I was actually wondering why I find Hanson so attractive even when he's doing something as small as saying, "shut up. . ."
I would call this sort of joke a 'cynical' joke where it can be funny and sad at the same time. My friend was telling me one of these type of joke where someone always dies.
What Hanson said at the beginning? I bet that is how johnny depp truly feels, after all he didn't really like the idea of cops in high schools right?
hmm, i hope everyone understood the content of the story. But for me...my granny told it to me when I was little, and, you know, it was extremely sad to me )
"You're not dressed."
"What am I? Boxing in the nude?"
LOL

Why am I the only person who didn't understand that joke?? Not the first one about the anti-depessants but the one about the Clown. It made NO SENSE.
