Hmmm (2/30)

Deadpan comedy has been around for at least a century, first noted in a New York Times story in the 1920s, but it, like everything else, has evolved and adapted to the times. While it originated in Vaudeville stage acts, it later gained popularity on television and has now spread to the internet. Although it is questionable whether a snarky tweet for comedic effect qualifies as deadpan (in the absence of a dead facial expression), the humorous notion remains the same.
