Comedy takes the good with the bad. The genre involves drama and tragedy to understand the pitfalls of humanity. Laughter is the greatest sign of understanding. Involuntary shrieks of joy indicate a laugher knows their extremes and their differences. Comedy is contrarian gymnastics, working with contrast to make unsaid thoughts plain. Comedy turns taboos into tidbits, not to normalize atrocities, but to criticize them constructively through deconstruction. Funny business is taken seriously, but comedy is at its most serious with deadpan humor.
