  Its literarary shorthand for “this comic is bad at their job.” No comedians actually say that, unless they’re referencing a hack comedian.

    Jerry Seinfeld literally was that guy. All those “what’s the deal with…” jokes are specifically making fun of Seinfeld.

    I mean hack comedians still do it I guess, but most of them don’t make it past the open mic stage. Or they improve their craft and stop doing it.
