Meaning
This reads as praise for comedy that does more than entertain. It points to humor that slips in a second layer, a small correction to how we think, so the laugh also leaves a person reconsidering something. It lands with stand-up that feels good in the moment but keeps working afterward, especially when a joke exposes a blind spot without becoming preachy.
