What is the function of humour or comedy in society if it is not to hold up a mirror and force us to confront realities that we would often prefer to ignore?

I have no issue with real life intruding into humour, or vice versa. Whether the grasshopper parable feels relevant (and therefore funny) probably depends on where you live and whether the reality it parodies is apparent in your everyday experience.
