people today place an especialy high value on respect for others ,yet, in their comedy acts,many of today"s most popular comedians display blatant disrespect fot others ,but when people fail to live up to the very ideals they holds in higher esteem.exaggeration of such failings often forms popularity of comedians who display disrespect in their acts is hardly surprising.

问assumption
请问这段话的含义，谢谢

八戒

不想查字典拉.....有些单词不认识...但我想这并不妨碍对他的理解！

前提

in their comedy acts,many of today"s most popular comedians display blatant disrespect fot others

大概就是：在喜剧中，大部分的喜剧演员却表现出他们的不敬吧！（模糊）

推测原因

when people fail to live up to the very ideals they holds in higher esteem.exaggeration of such failings often forms popularity of comedians who display disrespect in their acts is hardly surprising.

    当人们没有办法达到他们的目标时候，总是喜欢夸张的表现，不足为奇！（有疑问：exaggeration.........is hardly surprising ， 我认为应该是 the main clause!
    if so , forms popularity...... may be corrected "forming",
   可能我错拉！）

演绎方向：为因果形，也就是B 推导A

如果assumption是 not   weaken  
那么weaken就应该是他因解释前提，找个答案解释为什么人们在喜剧中对他人不敬即可！
