In this short segment with Giovanni Vernia, humor is presented as a way to relieve tension. The example is a joke attributed to Mel Brooks: asked about the secret of such a long career, he supposedly replied 'not dying'. The point is the joke's ability to deflate a solemn question.
Key points
- The example shows how an unexpected answer can lighten the mood.
- The joke concerns Mel Brooks rather than Marco's personal history.
