I have always felt the humour he and his fellows produce is evidence of their frustration at the challenge for meaning to life.
With the annihilation of dreams by the realisation that standard Christianity and false religion in general fail to provide a plausible rationale, many, especially so called intellectuals, turn to comedy, satire and cynicism to give expression to their frustration with the pointlessness of our seemingly brief sentient existence, after which we appear to cease to be.

Thanks@graviton. We do tend to other forms of expression if we have been failed, especially religion. Life does have more purpose when you have a hope for the hereafter. I'm glad to have that hope myself !
