Tragedy + No Time = Need for Humor (Comedy Special Recommendations)

Let's take five, or ten...we've got the time. As comedian John Mulaney says, "Everything was slower back in the old days, because they didn't have enough to do. So, they had to slow things down to fill the time. I don't know if you read history, but back then people would wake up and say, 'God, it's the old times..."
