One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes uses satire to challenge traditional Chinese folklore, moving away from rigid moral hierarchies to a more fluid, relativistic worldview through comedic irony. While the film doesn’t explicitly represent LGBTQ+ identities or disabilities, it successfully deconstructs established mythic pillars. Its strength lies in cultural specificity and the use of parody to question the gravity of ancient institutions.
