Life is a stage and it is not mindless entertainment

And we are all its actors. Humour then is the dramatic technique through which we drive the point home.

"Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Groucho Marx and Charlie Chaplin. They were very upset with the social condition and really upset with what they saw was going on. And tried to use their humour as a weapon. And so, some might say he’s ( Moore) doing this comedy, this schtick, this stunt , and somehow making the issue less serious, but actually, it is humour, ridicule, satire that is powerful , potent and when used with a mass audience, it is extremely effective politically."
