Talk about the the point of the joke, but not the joke itself.

You want to talk about a joke then you ruin comedy, and that's what's been happening for a long time.

Do you think comedians are funny because of what they say, or because they combine seemingly random sounds in a way that triggers an unconscious physical response that resembles laughter?

I don't get why people now pretend like there's no such thing as a bad joke. Or that there is one sense of humor and you don't have it if you don't laugh at everything said by a comedian or announced as a joke. By this logic, anything written as sad must be cried at. Why ruin the sadness with the wrong emotional response to the artist's intent?

Human beings have been analyzing comedy since it was invented.
