Mid way through her sentence however, she appears unable to continue to talk, ending with a sheepish "Hi?". {{w|Aphasia}} is a language disorder, symptomized by disturbance in formulation and comprehension of language. This class of language disorder ranges from having difficulty remembering words to being completely unable to speak, read, or write. |

A heckler's aim is usually to put the performer off of their routine, and appear funny themselves. Responses from the performer vary from simply ignoring the heckler to getting enraged and violent. Good comedians are able to quickly fire back a witty put down (either off the cuff or pre-planned), which will get the audience back on side and dissuade the heckler from continuing. Rather than a short witty reply, Black Hat's response is a little less direct, implying that the hecklers mother isn't proud of him. |

The sentence is another way of saying "this statement is false" but without the explicit self-reference. Named after the paradox, a {{w|quine (computing)|quine}} is also a computer program which outputs its own source code. | The sentence is another way of saying "this statement is false" but without the explicit self-reference.

In the fourth panel, [[Beret Guy]]'s speech begins as if with the common observation, "Ever notice how men go to the restroom alone, while women go in groups", but somehow gets derailed through the use of the word hordes instead of groups, and a confusion between women and orcs. When an audience member (or heckler) points this out, Beret Guy's response shows that his observations weren't intended as comedy in the first place. | In the fourth panel, [[Beret Guy]]'s speech begins as if with the common observation, "Ever notice how men go to the restroom alone, while women go in groups", but somehow gets derailed through the use of the word hordes instead of groups, and a confusion between women and orcs.

The title text is likely referring to stand-up comedians, like {{w|Jerry Seinfeld}}, who use observational humor. When an observational comic becomes more successful, they will probably "go on tour" resulting in a great deal of travel. This gives him or her lots of experience with airplanes and hotels, and more jokes about them will show up in the routine. Furthermore, the title text is itself an observational joke. |
