he's a comedian; his entire job is standing up in front of people and saying shit and having a message. thats... the point.

it's not nameless widgets or whitelabel switches where you can just ignore it.

I promised you every single individual business could say the same thing. No product has any value if people don't know about it.

> having a message

I don't think most comedians really have any cogent "message", nor do I think that's part of the job

Then I don’t think you really understand comedy to be honest.

That’s a very reductive view of comedy, essentially “just a joke with no relevant context or layers allowed,” which rubs against the entire history of the art form. No working comic would agree with you.

Put another way: Not everyone is looking to do revolutionary commentary, but good luck finding a comic with no commentary at all.

Yes, people who have worked with Paul Feig are not comedians, that's possibly where you're having contextual issues.
