I agree that the primary job of a comedian is to make people laugh which, strangely enough, is not something you seem to have addressed at all

In the section "Call me Old Fashioned" the word "laugher" was used 6 times. In 2's definition it was used zero times.

His definition, by the way ends at the end of the first sentence in the tweet.

The second sentence is a second statement that has to deal with the first part of the statement. It is an afterthought.

Like if I go "It is the job of a furry to be a good performer in fursuit. If they don't then that means there is no longer going to be anthroporphization." If someone told you a sentence like that you're scratch your head. Some furries may do the former, but it has nothing to do with the later.

Do *all* comics make social commentary? No. Therefore are those that do not, not comics?

According to 2's definition that he leads with, they are not. It's kind of like inferring "Furries dress up in animal costumes". Sure some do, and those that do probably are more 'well known', but there are some furs that do not but still enjoy anthroporphizations without it.

To me for a furry the interest in anthroporphization comes *first*, the other things are tertiary. Likewise for a comic, comedy comes first, the other things are tertiary. Otherwise you're just a pundit or politican that happens to make a joke once in awhile if social commentary comes first.
