    I think the general absurdity of it, plus you’re never quite sure where they’re gonna go.

    For example:

      It’s absurd in such a predictable way though, when every joke is le wacky literalism or I-want-to-die, it becomes rote.

      Like, okay, there’s the cum betweener, he cums between people. That sure is the opposite of what they said would happen in the first panel. Please clap.

        How… How do you think most jokes work?

          Not every joke has a lazy setup.

              I don’t think so, one of the most common theories of why things are funny is it being unexpected, and the art of comedy is disguising a setup so it doesn’t seem like a setup until the punchline.

                And you think that’s… High effort?

                  Disguising a setup is the barest effort I think, not necessarily high effort.

                    So would you consider it, potentially… lazy?
