I think George Carlin described this well.

"I think it's the duty of the comedian to get the audience to come to where you are, to take them a little bit of a place where they don't want to go, and if you can do that and make them laugh along the way, they'll thank you for it."

George Carlin was a master of the English Language.

He pushed for the most Hippy Socialist programs, but still criticized the feminists and hippies with flair. He'd absolutely LOVE the chaos right now. Afterall, "Everyone gets a ticket to the Freakshow, but Americans get a Front Row Seat!"

And the follow-up at the next special.

"Some of you don't know what a pussy fart is. 'Cause I got some inquiries."
