But I think funny and talent will always win out I mean, of course there are hurdles, but I think if you’re funny you will get over all of that.

Sykes frames comedy as a meritocratic force: genuine humor and performance skill tend to break through obstacles such as gatekeeping, industry bias, or the inevitable setbacks of an entertainment career. The line acknowledges “hurdles” rather than denying them, but insists that comedic talent has a self-propelling quality—if you can reliably make audiences laugh, opportunities recur and resistance can be overcome. Implicitly, the quote also distinguishes between fleeting visibility and durable craft: trends, connections, and hype may help temporarily, but “funny” is portrayed as the most resilient currency. It’s an encouraging, work-centered view of success that treats laughter as both proof and pathway.
