zizzy says:

The documentary filmmaker is a high school media literacy and English teacher, (user name tstorm). The documentary makes no judgments about what is funny, and it isn't heavy handed. It's an exploration of the intersection of race and humor in U.S. pop culture as manifested in comedy. Clips from Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Chris Rock standup, interview with Dave Chapelle, and more.
