Keywords: Goldberg Effect

Summary/Abstract: Making references to Kurt Vonnegut’s novel The Sirens of Titan and the work of American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, Giżycki makes a brief review of the works in which you can see the so-called Goldberg Effect. The comedies starring Buster Keaton, Daniel Szczechura’s cut-out film The Machine and Harold Lloyd’s or Charlie Chaplin’s slapstick comedies contain elements of what characterised Goldberg-drawn designs of exceedingly complex devices performing very simple tasks.
