Quote by Flip Wilson
Things can be funny only when we are in fun. When we're 'dead earnest,' humor is the only thing that is dead.
Summary
This quote suggests that humor can only be appreciated and enjoyable when people are in a lighthearted and playful state of mind. When individuals are extremely serious or overly focused on something important, humor loses its liveliness and ceases to exist. It implies that humor requires a certain mental and emotional attitude, and that being too serious can devoid us of the ability to find amusement in things.
