![‘[O]n the one hand, by far the longest-standing theories of beauty construed it as partly objective and dependent on form; on the other hand, many of late think that there is little we can say about what makes objects beautiful, other than that they please us..’

![‘What is funny about [Breaking the Fourth Wall]-statements, and what makes them suitable for comedic media, is that they are ambiguous between two interpretations that force a switching between internal and external perspectives.
