It’s such a pervasive observable reality in comedy I’m struggling not to just say “watch a comedian.” Really, any comedian.

Recently, we could go with John Mulaney’s performance about his drug use and rehab experience, something he continues to reference in his new series. There’s James Acaster who’s done entire shows that mix absurdism and heavy sarcasm with self deprecation. Patton Oswart did a fairly famous bit on him and his daughter dealing with the death of his wife. Pete Davidson’s performances are about his drug use and lack of self respect.

The entire show Seinfield and every character in it. Curb Your Enthusiasm which is about the creator of Seinfield, who made the show inspired by himself, his lack of boundaries and social awareness. The show Barry is 200% dark humor.

I could go on, but I’d be naming most comedies and comedians.
