Ricky Gervais keeps it light, even at his mother's funeral

Ricky discusses how humor gets him through. If only we all could keep things in perspective well enough to laugh in this kind of circumstance.

What a great clip. Humor is so important in bad times. I buried my Grandmother last week and was happy to get a laugh from the gathering when I spoke about memories of her. In the hospital the day before she died she had about 15 minutes of pure lucidity. She started telling dirty jokes and insisted everyone else tell her any dirty jokes we could think of. Tear stained faces erupted with laughter. This was the last conversation I had with her and it was perfect. I will treasure that moment forever.

Oh, goody... experiment time.

A while ago I made a comment about how I had joked about a friend of mine who had been killed in a car accident (NOT at his funeral, mind you, but in the days and weeks that followed his death). It's how I coped for a while. I was promptly downvoted and flamed by the local morality police.

Let's see if they upvote this video.
