Tonight marks the BEST ending to a class I have ever had.
Because next Monday is Memorial Day, class is cancelled so tonight was the final meeting for my Dramatic Theory of Comedy course which I have to take for my major. At first, I was hesitant to a) take a night class and b) take a philosophy course, but in the end it was totally worth it.
First day of class, my professor walks in announcing this is a biology course and if you were in the wrong room, to please leave NOW. I obviously got the joke but he had quite a few people going for the door. As he told them this was Theory of Comedy he handed out his syllabus which included jokes about how shitty Twilight is and which of the olsen twins is his favorite (mary-kate). That day I knew I was in for a treat.
Throughout the quarter we examined comedy through a theoretical lens, analyzing anything from Monty Python to The Sarah Silverman Project. We talked about the evolution of comedy and those who had a prolific significance on the changes that occurred in this genre, one of which was Andy Kaufman.
In the past, I have watched clips of Andy Kaufman and always been fascinated by the man he was. He truly was a genius in his own right and we lost him far too soon.
So tonight, after we finished our final exam, we were about to continue our discussion on him till all of a sudden a group of elves shoveled into our room, followed by a very thin, tall Santa. “Jingle Bell Rock” came blasting out of the loud speakers and they passed out cookies and milk to all of us. Then came the presents! While I got some Transformer stickers (which will be decorating my brand new collage board), some girl in the back row got a pregnancy test. Afterwards, they took us out into the hall and had us walk around for a little bit loudly singing “Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer”.
As we ventured back inside, my professor suddenly exclaimed that he had not received a gift. He said that all he wanted was to meet Andy Kaufman because he was his hero. All of a sudden, the smallest elf, who I originally believed to be a philosophy professor, became very hot and suddenly took off her elf coat to reveal an Andy Kaufman t-shirt.
It was then that the gag was revealed: that this overheated elf was Andy Kaufman’s sister Carol. She then proceeded to tell stories about growing up with him and how he always kept his family close by. Stories about how when he was little, at recess he would always go over and talk to a fence. While the other kids believed him to be quite odd, one day a ball went bouncing near by him. As the child ran after it, he began to listen to what Andy was saying and found it quite funny. Soon enough, Andy had his first audience.
In a nutshell, it was basically the coolest classroom experience I have ever had.

God created the first robot: man, the artificial god who dreamed of becoming a real god and created an artificial man.
So liberals and progressives have been emphasizing the problem of inequality in America today: the way it distorts our political and social systems and profoundly alters a person’s prospects not just for wealth, but for health and well-being as well. Indeed, that message has been central to the…
