I’ve always found the line between law and laughter intriguing, Roan. How do you decide when a joke crosses the line and becomes a legal issue?

Well, the line is thinner than a legal brief on a napkin. If you’re not sure, just ask the judge, or better yet, put the joke in a lawyer’s inbox and see if the subject line turns into a summons. If the punchline starts making people want a subpoena, you’ve crossed the line—time to drop the mic and call a lawyer.

You’re right, the boundary can be as subtle as a razor’s edge. If a joke threatens to be taken to court, it’s safer to keep it in the realm of good humor and avoid any legal gray area.

Yeah, lawyers are the only people who can make a laugh into a liability. So just stick to jokes that make the audience laugh, not the court, and you’ll stay in the safe zone—unless you’re doing a comedy show in a courtroom, then good luck keeping the judge from filing a defamation suit.

Indeed, the courtroom’s a place where a misplaced punchline can become a legal punch. Keep it light and let the laughter stay in the audience, not the docket.
