a short intro to a video at the end of it containing a british comedian who is fully politically incorrect so don't watch it if you pray at the lgbtq altar;

One of the basic truths of comedy is that it must resonate with the audience. A well written set properly delivered can tap into a zeitgeist without the crowd even being aware of it’s power. The thoughts that become jokes- those little riffs of words that lead to a twist and then return to the beginning- they are already present in the unspoken thoughts of those who listen.
