Summary

This quote suggests that comedians experience humor differently from others. Rather than simply laughing at jokes or humorous situations, comedians are constantly analyzing the humor and trying to understand why it is funny or not. They have a critical eye and a deep understanding of comedic techniques, allowing them to deconstruct jokes and find their comedic value. As a result, comedians may not fully engage in the act of laughter because their minds are occupied with the complexity of humor.
