    Deadpan humor makes these comments tolerable despite their slightly harsh tone. In a nutshell, deadpan humor is delivering a joke or witty remark with very minimal emotion. 

    Deadpan humor seems more effective via text, where detecting the sentiment behind the delivery is more difficult.

    Unlike slapstick or topical humor in sketch comedies, deadpan humor is about wit and wordplay. Through intellect and irony, it urges its viewers to think beyond the obvious.

    Some famous names who have incorporated dry humor into their comedy acts are the late great Norm Macdonald, “Mr. Bean” Rowan Atkinson, Sarah Silverman, and Aubrey Plaza.

    Deadpan humor isn’t for everyone. According to an article by Tampa-based comedy club Side Splitters, it tends to appeal more to people with an intellectual and witty outlook.

    These people are known to have a keen sense of irony and enjoy juxtaposing life’s mundanity with sharp-witted observations.

    However, the unique flavor that dry humor brings can also be the source of its potential risks. As the article points out, the subtlety of delivery and the irony may lead to confusion. Some people may even take offense.

    Dry humor may also be overused, creating a disconnect with the audience. For this reason, veteran comedians vary the delivery of their jokes or switch up their comedy styles to preserve the effectiveness of their punchlines.

    Let’s switch the conversation to you, readers. Which of these epic top comments were the funniest for you? Would you read through the comments section if these were the replies you’d find? We’d like to hear from you!

    Henry Ford attributes all evil to Jews or to the Jewish capitalists," . "The Jews caused the war (WW1), the Jews caused the outbreak of thieving and robbery all over the country, the Jews caused the inefficiency of the navy" Such a nice guy.....

    Additionally, he didn't create the 8 hour workday out of the goodness of his heart. It was due to years of intense pressure from the union, and a threat to his ability to make money off of their labor.

    Does the commentor really not understand that this was much fewer working hours than would have been normal at the time?

    He was a turd, yes, especially with his antisemitism and misogyny. However, prior to this, work weeks were 100+ hours, whenever the employer demanded you in, 7 days a week. He reduced the working hours WITHOUT reducing pay. Have a go at him for his antisemitism and misogyny, not this.

    Boo him for other reasons, not this one. But that 5 day/40hr workweek was wayyyyy shorter than what people were working before that.

    This man controlled his worker's lives to a degree that would make today's billionaires drool.

    He was a control freak who founded Fordlandia and micromanaged everything, including their leisure time.

    Of course we know that we would al be better off with the good old-fashioned 16-hour-workday 7 days a week...

    Well, it is so much better than the 6-day weeks and up to 10-hour days.

    SO you'd rather have the work week they had before that? Better learn what you're answering before you start putting something down. Biggest mistake Henry Ford ever made was allowing unions in.

    If all people were expected to work nower days was 8hrs a day 5 days a week, I think a lot of people would be much happier. Not 12 hrs a day, 6 days a week on a split shift!

    Folks, that was down from the 12 hours a day 6 days a week standard of the time. He also wanted to pay a much higher wage, but got sued by several competitors, establishing the legal precedent of corporations being bound to a fiduciary duty of maximum profits for shareholders that has caused so many problems. He didn't even have shareholders at the time, it was strictly a family owned business. Ford wasn't a saint by any means, but this one's a pass.

    "Everybody boo this man." The 40-hour workweek was instead of much longer than 40 hours. This guy should be the greatest hero to everyone who cares about workers' rights, decent conditions, an affordable middle class, etc.
