I'm a firm believer in that true humor comes from truth. And that's why a lot of things are funny in Brokeback.
Because how many of us have fumbled something when we're angry? "Whiskey'll flow in the stream! -- Oh, gah! I lost my little pot! Come back here! I need you to make dinner!"
And how many times do we use a word that someone doesn't understand and then we have to explain it in laymen's terms. "Condiments" ... "what?" ... "uh, ketchup."
Hehe, this is also the same reason why I think American Beauty is one of the funniest films I've ever seen (for the first hour anyway). "Lester, could you make me a little later please, because I'm not quite late enough..." -- "heh, nice goin' dad."
"Let me explain something to you. Um ... I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski ... I'm 'The Dude' ... so that's what you call me. You know, that or uh ... 'His Dudeness' ... or uh ... 'Duder' ... or 'El Duderino' if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
