ENRIQUE HUERTA - OH THE HUMANITY BLOG

David Letterman como saben es el comentador del Late Show de CBS. Es un viejo comediante estadounidense que tiene dientes separados y etc etc. La verdad me da lata describirlo. Pero en su show ( que ya tiene alrededor de 2.500 capítulos) tiene una sección que sin duda, es para cagarse de la risa mediante el intelecto del punchline. A través de una breve frase, uno construe la imagen en la cabeza y puede percibirlo de diferentes maneras; es así como funciona el chiste escrito. Pero mientras más universal sea el chiste y mientras mas mantenga el mismo significado para cada perspectiva individual, mejor es el chiste.

Tanto blah blah blah ...para mostrarles un pedazo de esta sección del Late Show de Letterman que se llama "Top ten". (otra más pueden buscarse en mi link al costado en CBS)
