the funniest
My music history teacher is a happy little pink man with white hair who likes to prance about and make funny faces while lecturing on the importance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony ('Ludwig, man, you have GOT to be kidding me. Da-da-da da? that's not a symphony, it's not even a phrase.'), Carmen ('it's about sex. finit. bottom line.'), Debussy ('Claude, there ain't no beat! Aint no beat, Claude!'), and various other post-romantic era operas ('she made LOVE to this disembodied HEAD. no, seriously, she did.'). And when he sits down at the piano, imitating Beethoven, he makes his Beethoven face, all scrunched up and menacing, which is really quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen.
