molotov cocktail

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'explosive object' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'comical look to tv broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'comical'+'look'+'to'+'tv'='comicallooktotv'
'comicallooktotv' is an anagram of 'MOLOTOV COCKTAIL'.

'gives' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for molotov cocktail that I've seen before include "it can be wounding if it hits home" , "goes like a bomb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
