Talking Funny

Talking Funny (2011) — watch it online on iFILM — is an HBO documentary directed by John Moffitt. The setup is stripped to the minimum: Ricky Gervais, Louis C.K., Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock in a room, talking about comedy.

No stage, no crowd, no agenda beyond the conversation itself. They disagree on almost everything — how dark material can go, whether instinct beats craft, what counts as a real joke — and that friction is exactly what makes it work. Four comics with completely different sensibilities trying to explain an art form that falls apart the moment you explain it. Stream Talking Funny online on iFILM.
