There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth.

Borge’s remark frames comedy not as frivolity but as a disciplined way of seeing. “Logic” here suggests an internal coherence: a joke works only if it reveals a pattern the audience recognizes, even if the setup is absurd. By calling humor “truth,” he points to comedy’s power to expose what polite conversation, ideology, or self-deception tends to hide—human vanity, contradiction, fear, and desire. The line also reflects Borge’s own style: he used musical precision and linguistic play to make audiences laugh while simultaneously noticing how language and social conventions actually function. In this view, laughter is a response to recognition, not escapism.
