"Irony won't save you from anything; humor doesn't do anything at all. You can look at life ironically for years, maybe decades; there are people who seem to go through most of their lives seeing the funny side, but in the end, life always breaks your heart. Doesn't matter how brave you are, or how reserved, or how much you've developed a sense of humor, you still end up with your heart broken. That's when you stop laughing."
- Michel Houellebecq, The Elementary Particles

There’s a section in Fear and Trembling where Johannes de Silentio basically says the same thing in regard to comedians/ irony and offers a way out to accept and get past this thinking. I don’t wanna read Houllebecq if he just makes the same depressing points over and over for hundreds of pages.
