My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.

The line uses a familiar self-help truism—life requires “balance” between opposites (good/bad, highs/lows)—and then punctures its seriousness with a playful, cocktail-themed twist (“the pina and the colada”). The humor depends on parallel structure: after two weighty pairs, the final pair is frivolous, suggesting that balance isn’t only about enduring hardship but also about allowing pleasure and lightness. In DeGeneres’s comedic voice, the joke also gently mocks the tendency to overpackage simple truths as profound wisdom, while still affirming a practical outlook: resilience and joy coexist, and taking life too solemnly can be its own imbalance.
