Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of humor being genuinely funny, rather than relying on crude or vulgar content for its appeal. The speaker recognizes that bawdy jokes can be acceptable and entertaining, but only if they genuinely generate laughter. Merely including explicit or dirty elements for shock value or to push boundaries is inadequate; humor should rest on the foundation of being genuinely amusing. Ultimately, the quote encourages the notion that humor should prioritize humor itself, rather than relying on superficial or shallow tactics.
