why is mark twain so lame and not funny?

Answer 1

Must inane question day..right?

Answer 2

mark twain was completely ambulatory. he was also extremely funny, as long as he was trying to be. and even his more dour works are incredibly funny. the mysterious stranger, captain stormfield's visit to heaven, a connecticut yankee in king arthur's court are all pretty sobering, but nevertheless still full of brilliant humor.

if you want to know what's lame, you might want to consider whether it's your brain. if you have a problem finding the value in the writing of the first great american author, and the progenitor of the modern stand-up comedian, the problem is probably within you, not twain or his work.

Answer 3

Mark Twain lame? I was reading his books before they were on the required reading lists, and I think you are sadly mistaken, Twain is brilliant.

Answer 4

A person must be able to appreciate sarcasm to enjoy the works of Mark Twain. Obviously, you don't have a good enough sense of humor to appreciate sarcasm.

Answer 5

Lame compared to who? Mark Twain wrote about adventures that during his time where exciting. There was no TV or cars. He wrote about life during hard times. His work isn't meant to be compared to today's world. He wrote during simple times.
To fully appreciate his work, you have to understand the time he wrote about.

Answer 6

Old Sam was a gentle writer for a more gentile time. His facile way with a pen is lost on the youth of today because the world was a different place then.

Much has been lost, my friend.

You lack depth perception.Your mental goggles are fogged up from staring at your own (so called) huge penis.

Answer 8

Answer 9
