The weird thing is, the graver a thing is, the funnier the joke is put in proper perspective. For instance, an operation is a serious thing. But look at the following: Here are things you do not want to hear while on the operating table:
"Now where did I put that sponge"
"Well, we closed that up good, oh, where are the scissors?"\
"oops!"
"gotta hurry with this one, have a golf date this evening"
"aaaw man, what a party last night, boy do I have a hangover"
The great depression was a time of uncertainty, misery, trouble and sorrow for many suffering great losses.
Humor relieved the stress. It was a new era with plenty of fodder for the joke mill. Have you ever had a serious event in your life, then later looked back and was able to joke about it. During the Great Depression there was little money for anything and it was a luxury to even have a radio and those that did were glued to it listening to their favorite radio programs that were almost all comedy. The movies were the main events during the Great Depression and cost a dime to get into. The general public would save up or pool their money to try and go to the movies at least once a month or, if lucky, every week or two. There was 'The Wizard of Oz', Shirley Temple movies; The Three Stooges; Andy Hardy Series (with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland); Walt Disney; Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs; Al Jolson; George Burns and Gracie Allen, Jack Benny, harlie Chaplin, etc. People could forget their troubles in the movies and often did. One would think during such hard times ticket sales would be down vastly, but more than 60 - 75 million tickets were sold in one week! It was also during this time the 'talkies' came in. Movies with actual voices and although not perfected the audiences were mesmerized.
