The Drollery of Blood

Posted on May 5, 2008 by Erk

I’m sure you would agree with me when I say that blood is serious stuff, I mean we need most of what we have to stay alive.  But I’m here to argue that blood is also very funny.  Allow me to illustrate.  One variable that can affect the comedy of blood is volume.

how much blood there is vs. how funny it is

As you can see, a little blood can be very funny, as can way too much blood, but the closer the amount of blood comes to being life-threatening, the less funny it is.  Of course, as with any assertion, there will be exceptions.  For instance if the blood is being lost from a clown…

then the relationship is almost inverted.  The closer the clown-blood loss comes to life-threatening, the funnier it becomes.  And this leads us directly into an other key variable – Origin.  Whose blood it is affects how much people are going to laugh.

Specifically, your blood makes me laugh, while my own blood is not as likely to do so, and vice versa.  But we can both laugh at clown blood.  Origin is even more complex a variable than simply me, you or a clown.  Oh yes, if movies have taught is anything, it is that blood can come from some pretty strange places.

 So you see, although blood may be essential for our very lives, it can be quite funny.
