The one thing they do is skewer pomp and pretension. They are the guys at a dinner party who say "everybody poops so why can't we talk about it?" Or will ask the minister about his sex life if he asks about their relationship to God.

It can be genuinely stupid and annoying sometimes because it's a blunt instrument. They assume that everything is fine and that anyone passionate about a cause is a misguided idiot.
