Yes, and I obviously came away with a different message than you did.

And almost all the current comedians say they became comedians because they were the 'funny' kid and like talking about when they "awakened" to the fact that they were funnier than everyone else.
Who?

At the very least, for guys like Louis CK, Gervais, etc. I know and have heard them talk about what makes good comedy. They have a pretty good understanding of what it means to connect with an audience and share a unique experience. And it's not just "being funny". Here's Louis talking about Carlin during a memorial:



"I want to be funny"

Also it makes me cry.
