How to use comedy in a sentence?

  1. Seth Rogen:

    There are certain jokes that for sure have not aged well, but I think that's the nature of comedy, i think conceptually those movies are sound, and I think there's a reason they've lasted as far as people still watching and enjoying them today. Jokes are not things that necessarily are built to last.

Kevin Hart [ lost ] Kevin Hart job [ as Oscars host ] for 10-year-old tweets that Kevin Hart said Kevin Hart was sorry about and deleted at the time. So there's more pressure on making [ the jokes bulletproof ]. It's the world [ watching ]. This isn't me in a comedy club.
