Gus In The Real Life

I always find one aspect of the human kind that is fascinating is sense of humor; it can be so varied but yet appealing to people worldwide. I.e. Anime can be funny and appealing to many viewers because the visual gags are so easy to understand even if you are watching and un-translated version of your favorite show, American sitcoms or comedies such as the Simpsons can be quite funny even with the translations or the Chapelle Show that is quite a blast but only if you have a basic knowledge of English and American culture, I have to say is one of my favorite shows ever, so funny that I can even dare to say in the name of Dave Chapelle fans, that Dave you need to go back to comedy, you are such a genius for comedy.

Colombian television and humor is a little different from the American, humor is less from observance of culture, but it rather go with observation of daily living according to the different regions, so far the most known form of humor is the humor from Bogota that consists in two kind of jokes, lazy stereotypes gags that can be seen in television shows such as Sabados Felices (a rip off of SNL) or really dirty jokes that can said over here due the censorship.

We can’t compare of what humor is the best as the cultural incidents varies drastically, but American humor has more impact worldwide than Colombian humor as it has been propagated trough television, but Colombian humor… well, not humor but rather drama had some impact as well in TV as many Colombian shows had been adapted in different markets, just to name a case “Ugly Betty” or Betty la Fea.
