I've gotten the error that the name of my variable 'is parameter' and global, and thisis after an attempt to fix another error which says the same variable (comedy), is referenced before assignment. To fix this I tried to do 'global comedy', which h ad worked for the same type of error earlier, but all it did was lead to 'SyntaxError: name 'comedy' is parameter and global. For reference, here is my code. It's for a discord bot called Inspire which can pick up certain key words and respond. IN this case I'm making it respond to certain phrases with a joke, which users can add into the bot's database. This is where the issue with the code begins. For reference, here is my code:

happy_words = ["better", "happy", "Happy" "thanks", "Thanks", "Thanks!", "thanks!", "amazing", "overjoyed", "grateful", "joyous", "helped", "great"]
jokes = ["I could use a joke right now", "I want to laugh", "I want to see something funny", "I could use a joke"]

The lines where I define 'update_jokes(comedy):' is where the issue is, but I can't seem to pick it up. I'm worried that fixing this error will lead to another error which I can't spot and so I'm asking whether or not anybody can spot any underlying errors in my code, in addition to this one.
