A review by jeremychiasson
The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious by Sigmund Freud

3.0

Nothing is worse than having someone explain a joke to you.

Now imagine having arcane jokes explained to you by an Austrian Psychoanalyst who grew up in the Victorian era for 300 pages or so.

Somehow it burrows its way so far into unbearable tedium, that it digs right through to the other side into being funny.

Still, it's a little painful to read sometimes.
