Is that orangutan video a metaphor of some kind?

Yes. Just trying to weave some humor in. In the vid, there is something at first, then nothing, which the orangutan finds funny. The joke is that’s like the offense. Started out okay, then nothing.
Maybe it’s hard to find humor in this?

I practically have to tie my wife to a chair to watch it and when I’m done she will just nod and say–that it?
Kinda like our lovemaking–ta-dum-dum!
I’m here all week, folks. 🙂

Well, I’m glad you asked because
i had no idea what the monkey video
was supposed to mean. I thought it
was a comment on Fisher’s
apocalyptic post-modern offense,
but i wasn’t sure.Fisher’s first choice for OC
was Jane Goodall, i hear,
btw.

OK, I watched this first thing this morning, and I was not getting it. I was focusing on the ape. I thought, well, maybe he’s like an O-lineman, falling down, from injury perhaps, or getting pushed over. Maybe the magic was like defensive fronts and the orangutan like our O-line. Maybe.
But, now I get it. Yes, first it was there, then it was gone. And, everyone’s laughing, ha-ha-ha … except Rams’ fans, that is.

I appreciate that, lyser.
Of course, you “get” it. I think a lot of magicians have to feel frustrated that magic is considered somewhat of a joke. Yes–a lot of people can appreciate a good trick but many people could care less and as an art it seems to be on the lower rung of respect compared to a signer or dancer or musician. But if you do this as a hobby you begin to get a real appreciation for the skill involved–all parts of it–from the presentation to the mechanics. The amazing ideas that magicians have developed over the years I have always found very clever and when a really good performer performs live with a deck of cards right in front of you–wow. Even though I know what’s happening on most tricks I see now(but certainly not all–and that’s great)I am still amazed.
When I watch someone who has perfected something like a greek deal I feel floored.
Yes–there is way too much crappy magic on the internet and there is not much worse than bad magic. I appreciate the comments but I will never be polished enough to be as good as the top guys but I love to watch them.
Like this guy: Check out the greek deal.
