I don't believe that anybody has come to a conclusion on why something is funny. It's funny because it's ridiculous and it's ridiculous for different reasons at different times.

I don't believe that anybody has come to a conclusion on why

Summary

This quote suggests that the reason for finding something funny is not fixed or universally agreed upon. The speaker believes that humor stems from the absurdity of a situation, but what makes something ridiculous and therefore humorous can vary depending on the individual and the context. Different people might find different reasons for something being ridiculous, and these reasons might change over time. Thus, humor remains subjective and elusive, with no definitive explanation for its existence.
