Humor Short

Im Berliner Problembezirk Wedding zu wohnen, ist nicht leicht. Ständig trifft man Verrückte, muss seine Zwänge unter Kontrolle - und das Jobcenter bei Laune halten. Und man muss tolerant sein, obwohl es die anderen nicht sind. Im Kampf mit diesen alltäglichen Miseren hat der Berliner Lesebühnenautor und Brauseboy jahrelang Erfahrung. Manchmal muss er kapitulieren, aber immer kontert er mit stoischer Gelassenheit und trockenem Humor. Denn das Problem an sich ist ja meistens nicht das Problem. In seinen Texten erzählt er, wie man mit Kreativität, Phlegmatismus und Beharrlichkeit alles schaffen und selbst einen Bankräuber zum Weinen bringen kann.

Konrad Endler gilt als eine der skurrilsten Figuren der Berliner Lesebühnenszene. Seine Stories haben einen Hang zum Surrealen und Grotesken und sie sind kurz, bizarr und deutlich. Die Überzeichnung des alltäglichen Wahnsinns erzeugt immer wieder Albernheiten und Absurditäten.

Gogol's phantasmagorical tale about a man whose nose decides to abscond and begin living a life of its own is one of the earliest and most celebrated examples of absurdist literature. Apart from its recondite humor, it is remarkable for Gogol's skill in characterization and his ability to paint a picture of contemporary life in Russia in a few verbal brushstrokes.

Il cellulare manda segnali inaspettati, che sembrano arrivare dall'aldilà; il rasoio elettrico cerca di "parlare" con la superficie del tuo volto, di ridarti il sorriso dell'ultima felice rasatura; il mouse ti confessa che è stanco di danzare in quel rettangolo di vita che mappa la superficie del monitor, di cui non conoscerà mai il contenuto. Ogni tasto del computer prova ansie, amori e speranze. Il telescopio conserva nel suo occhio la luce di Andromeda.

Aunque alguna vez mi tío Mosco ha sido motejado injustamente de tacaño, argüirse en su favor la repulsa, el asco casi científico que experimenta ante los libros usados. Mi tío jamás compará un libro que haya sido leído anteriormente por otra persona, ya que sostiene la teoría (teoría compartida en líneas generales por mi abuelo) de que un libro leído es como una mujer sin virgo.

In den Geschichten und zahlreichen Gedichten begegnet uns sicher kein Mythos, aber schon etwas Besonderes. Mindest ebenso besonders wie jede Ehefrau, jedes Mauerblümchen, jede Geliebte, jedes Mädchen, jede Braut oder jede Mutter in Franken. Und der fränkische Mann? Der weiß das Besondere zu schätzen. In 6 Geschichten erzählt Wilhelm Wolpert sehr humorvoll das Zusammenspiel von Mann und Frau auf fränkisch.

"Il lecchino è sintesi sublime di disposizione e arte, di natura e cultura, di attitudine e abilità, di genio e capacità organizzativa. Quest'essere straordinario deve dimostrare di possedere e coltivare una virtù fondamentale: la pazienza. Egli sa di dover leccare oggi per incassare domani. A furia di ingoiare rospi, sorridere a comando, applaudire e leccare scarpe e altro, con modestia, senza fiatare, il lecchino assumerà via via posizioni di sempre maggiore rilievo nell'ambito di un ministero, di un'università, di un movimento politico, di un ordine professionale.

“They Are Everywhere” is a story that combines the elements of the most spine-tingling supernatural horror with the funniest comedy. Never before have malevolent spirits, poltergeists, and haunted houses been so funny. Make no mistake though, the terror is real; it’s the witless protagonists and their incredibly inappropriate reactions that give the story its humor.

How would you describe life? If you bumped into God and it asked you to give an overview of what life on Earth was like, what would you do? You wouldn’t tell it one long, drawn-out story. Not at all. You’d give it a mixed bag of quick stories to give it a good taste of what life is. If that day did somehow come about, and you did find yourself talking nonsense to an infinite being on a lovely summer’s day, I’m sure you’d never again forget to keep yourself hydrated.
