Funny Gothics

[readertim]

I totally agree about historical gothics often being taken out of appropriate tone when humor is added. I guess comedy is so complex that it is too hard to make something funny to somebody unless you put it in a very familiar context. For some reason, I'm thinking of that kids movie Aladdin, in which Robin Williams makes a whole bunch of jokes and references about modern things, even though the movie takes place centuries ago.
