Truth In Comedy

Today, while randomly surfing the Internet Movie Database, I stumbled upon a quote from the first season of the "Flight of the Conchords" TV show, spoken by Jemaine Clement:

It doesn't matter what country someone's from, or what they look like, or the color of their skin. It doesn't matter what they smell like, or that they spell words slightly differently...some would say, more correctly...I'm a person. Bret's a person. You're a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person.

Sometimes truths can be spoken most bluntly when they're being played for laughs.
