Shared beliefs, when they start complaining about things the audience relates to. Or completely obvious things we haven't noticed. A really funny monologue I saw once was a European comedian remarking how many different meanings can be carried by the word 'ass' and how often they are contradictory. Very clever observation.
For the curious, I suspect this was Ismo. I love his with on pointing out the incongruities in surface level features of English.
