PUT A SOCK IN IT! explores the relationships between comedy, power, ethics, sexuality, and desire, coming to the conclusion that comedy produces spaces of disidentification, and that it can turn hegemony on its head by never upholding the status quo. Afterall, who and what is considered funny or what is seen as humorless is defined by structural hierarchies. Why is one told to put a sock in it? You’ll either get it, or you won’t.
