What the * The Role of Humor in the Age of War

What the *$%#?!?: The Role of Humor in the Age of War was the third book written by Kenneth Branson and published by Markesan University Media in 3071.[1]

Overview[edit]

The book examines laughter and low culture during the Age of War. It pays particular attention to how the tense and rapidly-changing times were reflected in the sometimes stiff and genteel humor of the era. The book reveals a hidden undercurrent of earthy comedy that glorifies in the obscene and profane to cope with the uncertainties of the day.

Branson spent a great deal of time tracing the revival of the twentieth-century sitcom in the court of Simone Marik and examining out how the numerous remakes that resulted were subtly altered to reflect the political goals of her reign, using it as a case study to support his larger points.[1]
