There are an unlimited supply of examples of comedy providing an insight into some truth we have failed to see, but can humor also be a mask to hide the truth or promote a lie? It's hard for me to think of something that's actually funny (instead of mean or insulting in the attempt) that boosts a falsehood. (There are probably examples, but I think they must be rare.) Can the level of true humor derived from a revelation be a kind of truth-detector?
