Describing a person, situation, or piece of content that carries the structural and tonal hallmarks of standup comedy without necessarily being a comedy performance. A standup-coded conversation involves someone building tension with a premise, pivoting with a misdirect, and delivering a punchline that recontextualises everything before it. Standup-coded storytelling is precise, punchy, and uncomfortably honest. When someone narrates their own disaster with perfect comic timing, they're standup coded even if they'd never step on a stage.

The way she told that story about missing her flight was completely standup coded — I kept waiting for the callback.
