“It's hard to be funny when you have to be clean”

Simplified Meaning:
Trying to be funny without saying anything rude or inappropriate can be challenging. Imagine a comedian performing in front of a mixed audience with children and older people; they have to make everyone laugh without using any bad language or adult humor. This limits the jokes they can tell, making their job harder. For example, telling a simple joke about a funny animal moment might make people laugh, but avoiding edgy material requires more creativity. In everyday life, when joking around with friends or at work, it’s important to be mindful of what you say so you don't offend anyone. Being clean means you have to think harder and smarter to make people laugh while respecting everyone's feelings.
