Joke explainer is at the kids birthday party, patiently explaining to the kids the difference between a pun, a simile, hyperbole and a metaphor - and how they can be combined for comedic effect

Joke explainer is at the dinner party citing the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, explaining that the word humor was not used in its current sense of funniness until the 18th century, and so traditional philosophical discussions referred to either laughter or comedy instead

It�s humorous because comedy is often less funny when over explained but then you have a guy explaining it anyway on stage

ideally talking over the guy telling the jokes, as often the comedy explanation is significantly longer than the joke

hmm... a joke inside a joke... see, it�s funny because you thought you had an absurd premise without realizing the person you were imagining actually exists with the exact same username

Penguin rampant to dexter on azure field symbolizes social awkwardness, while penguin rampant to sinister on gules field symbolizes social awesomeness. They can be marshalled party per fess for juxtaposition.
