While I understand the importance of having productive conversations I was just making a dumb joke hoping to make someone laugh at a shitty situation. I wasn’t really looking to have a conversation about whether we should keep kicking the can down the road.
Good comedy is used to make humour out of real-world problems. That’s what a comedian should be doing.
Illustrating the problem in such a way causes laughter and joy, but it also plants a seed of thoughts into a person’s mind.
The phrase, “it’s funny because it’s true”, yeah, say an auditorium of 1,000+ thought that, a good portion of those people are now going to be thinking about that point for a very long time.
I think this kind of replay only works in favor of turning off any productive conversations

It’s not this guy’s responsibility to foster productive conversations around Global Warming.
