I Found This Funny grew out of a simple premise: Apatow collected writing that had actually made him laugh, without trying to build an argument about what humor is or should be. The result is an eclectic mix, covering fiction, essays, and comedy writing from contributors with very different styles.
The book works as a sampler rather than a definitive statement. Some pieces are well-known, others more obscure. The unifying factor is Apatow’s own taste rather than any editorial theme, which makes the collection feel personal in a way that themed anthologies often don’t.
