Stand-up comics locate experiences shared by as many members of the audience as possible, and point out some irony that (again) as many of them as possible have already thought about, but never had an opportunity to relay to another human being.
And they do it in a short, very carefully constructed way by being insanely precise with word choice, inflection, body language, what topics came before, and so on. It's code golf for commentary.
