There's a boorish attitude to comedy analysis of "oh you're ruining all the fun". I hate it, comedy is rich in concepts that are entirely unique to it, I think explaining a joke is deeply fascinating and just as much fun. Drama gets away with it because it is already boring.

Any recs for media that analyze & explain jokes? I have some friends who tried Second City, and it’s so fun listening to them work on jokes, tweak wording, delivery, etc. It’s all intuitive & subconscious for ‘em, minimal shared vocab., despite shared patterns and structure.
