Modern stand ups are doing this thing where they may disclose why they are “allowed” to make a joke based on their ethnicity for example, or some other attribute that deems them “qualified” to say the joke without being politically incorrect in doing so. Do these disclaimers/qualifiers impact the joke? Do they allow people to let themselves enjoy it more? Is it worth doing if that is the case?
Must spend some time defining irony, as it is a common term to describe new age humor, especially gen-z humor (post-ironic, meta-irony, etc)

Is laughter always a pleasurable experience? Does it always indicate pleasure? no.
A spiral is a build up (of tension, sure) like comedy
vessels can representdesire satiated, fulfillment, perspective
the ethics of comedy mirror the ethics of pleasure- the role morality plays
I establish that comedy can be a release and therefore brings peace to a tense experience- taking things too seriously is bad for you (lacking peace, building tension)
pleasure is the absence of pain or suffering and comedy is a release of tension (these are definitely paralleled)
just like everything else, comedy has been monetized, used and abused, and has become oversaturated with social media, immediate access all thetime, and in short digestive spurts for our short attention spans- Does it still provide the same release? (I think yes) even if there isn’t a physical laugh? (I think yes)

Pleasure is the absence of pain or suffering
Comedy is the release of built-up tension
Is built-up tension a form of pain or suffering? At the very least we can assume that tension is notv pleasurable, not compared to the sensation of its release
So, it could be argued that comedy is pleasureable and therefore good for you!
