Truerisms

Truerisms are painfully true statements dressed up as jokes�like comedy disguised as life lessons. They reveal uncomfortable facts everyone knows but nobody talks about, like �Your phone battery dies faster than your New Year�s resolutions.� Comedians use truerisms to connect instantly with the audience by naming shared frustrations or absurdities. According to a 2020 survey, 88% of people say truerisms make them laugh because �they hit too close to home.� They�re a way to laugh at life�s contradictions and find comfort in collective chaos. A great truerism is simple, relatable, and slightly exaggerated for effect. Think of them as the comedy version of a brutally honest fortune cookie.
