But he’s really terrible at it. He constantly quotes comedians out of context in ways that are categorically unfunny to the people around him. Like when he calls Dwight an “ignorant slut” or says “and don’t call me Shirley” when no one has said the word “surely”. He copies the punchlines but forgets the setups.

He envies comedians because he wants to be able to make people laugh, but he has a very poor understanding of comedy itself.
