If you need fallacies to bring a point across, you haven't got a point to begin with.
If this were true , stand up comedy would not exist. Geniuses such as George Carlin have always been able to convey brilliance and poignancy all the while wrapping it in pure farce and silliness for the sake of making uncomfortable subject matter palatable to all audiences.
