Humor, Absurdity, and Nonsense

Why are some things funny—and why do some jokes become even funnier after someone ruins them by explaining them?

In this session we’ll explore humor, absurdity, inside jokes, memes, dad jokes, and the strange power of nonsense. Why do we laugh when things go wrong? Why does surrealism sometimes make perfect sense? Can a joke reveal truths that serious language misses? And how can complete nonsense somehow become meaningful?

Along the way, perhaps we’ll discover that we’re all just glorping our way through existence.

No background required. Just bring your sense of humor (or at least your confusion).
