In comedy, the audience's collective response can shift over time, making previously funny material seem outdated or unfunny.

Telling the same joke multiple times can diminish its impact, leading to less laughter over time.

The success of a joke often depends on the emotional delivery of the comedian, not just the words themselves.

Comedy is uniquely subjective, as laughter often occurs involuntarily, making it difficult to convince someone to find a joke funny if they don't connect with it.

When I perform, if I lose enjoyment in delivering a joke, the audience can sense it, which affects how the joke lands.

The cultural context of comedy significantly influences what comedians can say and what audiences find acceptable at any given time.

Comedians can be canceled for offensive interactions during performances, but it's rare for them to be canceled for the content of their jokes alone.

The experience of being a new kid in school can shape a comedian's desire to connect with others through humor, as they learn to make people laugh to gain acceptance.

Successful comedians often have a deep desire to connect with people and make them laugh, which stems from their own insecurities and experiences as outsiders.
