Ehhh... I think it's meant to be ironic. You know, like a beloved children's TV character murdering people? It's funny because it's unexpected. The excursions have pretty clear stories- mostly revolving around the previously mentioned pointless murder and suffering, [ He twirls his finger to gesture at 'revolving', ] think of it less like one big ball of suffering and more like a smorgasboard of suffering. Or like one of those fancy restaurants with a tasting menu where you have to lick foam out of a cast of the chef's mouth. Yeuck. Does that make sense?
