Comedy is Translation | Chris Bliss TED Talk
In his TEDxRanier talk, Chris Bliss posits that “Every act of communication is an act of translation.” I have always loved languages and comedy, and I was tickled pink by Chris’ connection between the two. In the talk, Chris shows how great comedy can “translate deep truths for a mass audience”. Enjoy!
A Note About Affiliate Income
I receive a small commission on purchases made through Amazon links and other affiliates, a little pile of pennies I use to feed my caffeine habit and pay for hosting fees. You don't pay more than you would otherwise, so why not support the blog and my need for sweet coffee goodness?Comment Rules
Comment, agree, disagree, argue, and throw in your two cents as you like, but please help make this a better world by following these comment rules:- Speak your mind but do so respectfully. Rude, offensive, disparaging comments will be deleted. I maintain the right to block the IP addresses of trolling jerk faces.
- I have a zero spam policy: if your comment is not directly related to the topic of the article or links to a site with no relation to language learning, it will be deleted immediately.
- And speaking of spammination, please use your actual name, not a business or blog name; the latter comes across as sleazy self-promotion, not a genuine attempt to join the conversation.
- Please do not post self-promotional links in the comments. If you have a language product you think I should review or want me to include your blog in my suggested sites, send it to me via email first so I can vet them.
