I had the inevitable phone call at the weekend from my parents about the whole Russell Brand/Johnathan Ross debacle (I was amazed they had waited as long as they did). Safe to say they aren't fans, but know that I am. So they wanted to know what I thought of it all, and to tell me how disgusting/crude/unfunny they think they both are and what they would have done had it been my grandfather they had called.
Leaving aside any rights and wrongs (and I think far too much has been written about it already, so no need for me to add my thoughts, apart from it did make me wonder if his old mate Jason has got in touch to offer his support), it got me wondering about humour. Clearly it has nothing to do with genetics - neither parents thinks Russell Brand is at all funny, whereas he has me laughing out loud most of the time. My mum was trying to get me to tell her what was funny about him and I couldn't. This doesn't mean that he isn't funny, it just means that comedy is not something that can really be explained. You laugh or you don't.
And that's it.
