I've just been indulging in bit of nostalgia with "Back to the Future," but it's nostalgia for a future that isn't quite here (where are the flying cars, hoverboards and the Weather Service that precisely controls the weather?):

If you brought joy to others through your work (and you did), that is the goal of comedy, I think, in my humble opinion. As for the takeaway, or the meaning, no author or creator can control how the audience will react or what they will take away with them. But as long as they got something that helped them, then you've gone beyond the confines of comedy or art.
