| In the opening for Humor, created
by Charles Atlas, comedian Margaret Cho takes on the task
of educating her audience about the subtleties of Humor. Unfortunately
for her model pupil, Bruce, the subject of her lecture is
not comedy but antiquated medicine. Surrounded by anatomical
diagrams, Cho uses Aristotle’s “Theory of the Four
Humors” as her source material. After being subjected
to a hilarious but miserable “treatment,” the unlucky
patient ventures a comment on her choice of topic: “I
don’t think this is what they’re talking about.”
