Quote from: M.10rda on Today at 07:59:26 PMMatt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons", used to do a weekly comic strip for years in the 80s and 90s called "Life In Hell". In one fondly remembered strip from my childhood he made this observation:
The French are funny. Sex is funny. Comedies are funny. Yet why are there no funny French sex comedies?
I agree with him on those first three counts for sure, and still often contemplate the last claim when watching French cinema. I am sure one could debate this premise if one wanted to. But I often wonder what movies Groening was thinking of when he wrote this. Maybe one where the lead falls out of a window at the end of the movie?"Funny" is all subjective, of course!
