I love to laugh. Great big hearty laughs. The booming and screeching cry-for-breath laughs that you will hear older aunts and uncles doing at any Hispanic backyard family get-together. I am looking forward to being one of those uncles, myself, one day. I try to find something to laugh about with every situation. Because otherwise, what's the point? This habit can sometimes make sex, funerals and visits to certain types of doctors awkward, uncomfortable or embarrassing, but a hard day at work or heavy traffic are a stress-free breeze. I live by the credo spoken by the immortal and wise Han Solo, “Laugh it up, fuzz ball.” I once got a day of in-school suspension for saying that to my principal, on a day when a certain city leader was visiting our school. Despite that and other admonishments for laughing when it was “inappropriate,” I have discovered the opposite. You can always find a laugh. So why all the talk of inappropriate laughing and behavior? Because Katt “&$&@!” Williams is the funniest “@$*!#” in the stand-up game. After recently watching his latest stand-up movie “Katt Williams: American Hustle” on Comedy Central, I am more convinced than ever that we must laugh at those jokes and situations, about which we have been told our whole lives, “stop laughing.” As far as stand-up movies go, this one was unique in that it featured the opening acts almost as prominently as it did Katt Williams. Comedians Luenell, Melanie Comarcho and Red Grant came along for the road trip movie and cut us left and right with crude, offensive and sophomoric humor. It was beautiful. I won't lie. I saw a screener of this show a week before it aired. So I had the unique opportunity to watch on a portable DVD player in a packed doctor's office full of pregnant women and sleeping babies. When Katt Williams hit the stage and just after he finished up his Shaq bit and went off on the finer points of fellatio, I kid you not, I laughed so hard I passed wind right there in the office. I was trying to catch my breath when I let off with an “Oh f*** me that was funny.” After which my wife pinched the crap out of my arm and gave the look of death. I then realized what I had just done and said in a room full of moms and kids. Inappropriate? No, just Katt Williams doing what he does best. Making a fat man laugh.
