Comment on Drugs are candy for adults, and comedy entertainment marketed towards adults is the equivalent of making funny faces/sounds/peekaboos at a baby.

I fully agree with your first point, but I do actually see some merit to the connection between adult comedy and peekaboo. Not only do both make the audience laugh, but they do so because of something unexpected and novel to the audience. Often a silly performance can be hilarious (see comedians like Robin Williams or Jim Carrey) in a similar way to funny faces and sounds to babies.
