“Carpe per diem – seize the check” by Robin Williams is funny because it takes a common phrase “carpe diem” (seize the day) and gives it a humorous twist by replacing “day” with “check.”
It’s a clever play on words that creates a humorous and unexpected punchline. The use of the word “check” instead of “day” adds a layer of irony and absurdity to the quote, making it funny.
