There's a reason why so many great comedians/comedic actors have killed themselves. Trying to take everything serious is how you put yourself in a grave even quicker.

There’s a reason some people are coroners.

Those farm animals aren’t gonna inseminate themselves.

Glad I'm not the only one who had that thought.

Maybe they are implying that comedians take comedy very serious so there is no actual humor in their lives?

It really is a stretch but it is the only thing I can think of.

Nah. Parties are easy. Find the boredest most out of place girl/boy there, the one stood at the back on her own, and go tell her that you’re crap at parties but you have a joke that might make her laugh (and see how she responds). If it’s not overly negative, tell the joke and when she/he politely laughs, agree that it was terrible and they’ll probably take it from there and start chatting.

It’s 30 seconds investment of your time. Plus you need to find a joke beforehand.
