Trey Knowles’ “Definition Get Fired” is a short stand-up comedy piece built around irony and consequences. Trey jokes about getting his Black friend, Definition, fired for repeatedly using the N-word toward him. The humor escalates when Trey turns the tables—pointing out that Definition once got Trey’s white friend fired for doing the same thing. What makes it funny is the hypocrisy and the lesson behind it: what goes around comes around.
