Isn't that the worst feeling in the world. "Explaining the mechanics of a joke". It's less painful having my teeth pulled out.
Everyone always says that but I kinda like it. It's magic when you peel the layers and look at the moving parts of language and jokes and conventions. Like, intuitively, I can laugh right along with everyone else but what is happening with these moving parts? What assumptions am I making? What implications am I picking up on without them being explained?
It's a particular brand of fun.
