I Think Comedy Has To

Just Because We Can Shoot Something That Looks Like A Movie Doesn't Mean We Should. Sometimes If Something Looks Too Good, It's Not Funny. Some Things Need To Look Good, Because We Think It's Funny That You'd Spend So Much Time And Be So Precious About Such A Stupid Idea.

I Used To Work In An Office In New York For This Terrible Company, And We Used To Have Staff Meetings, And I Would Just Count How Many Times The Boss Would Use The Phrase "in Terms Of." And He Would Say It Like 30 Or 40 Times. And Sometimes He Would Just Say It. He'd Be Like, "uhh, In Terms Of, How Are We Doing With That?" I Realized Nobody Knows What They're Talking About. Everyone's Bullshitting. Maybe Not Everybody, But Certainly A Lot Of People.

Most Books That Come Out With A Comedy Label Seem To Be, Eric [wareheim] And I Could Have Written, "this Is Our Story, And This Is Who We Are," And Sort Of This Navel-gazing, Narcissistic Approach To Comedy We're Seeing These Days.

That Kind Of Language Is What Makes Us Laugh. Like, "well, Just Efax That To Me, And I'll Take A Look At It."

I Feel Like When You Do Twitter, Sometimes You Just Have An Idea And You Fire It Off And Don't Really Think Too Hard About The Consequences Of That. I Think My Reputation There Is As A Comedian And Not Someone To Be Taken Seriously. But I Like The Idea Of Getting Out False Information And Just Muddying Up The Story And Making It As Confusing And, You Know, Schizophrenic As Possible.
