I'm glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. But I don't want to lose touch with things like eating in Bob's Big Boy. I feel comfortable here. I would have had some bullshit degree, some general job, going nowhere. People laugh to forget their troubles, and to forget their troubles they like to look at people who aren't doing better than they are.
Nothing's funny about someone who's successful.
People who are happy and adjusted just aren't funny. Like I said, all comedy is based on exaggeration, big or small, whatever you can get away with. And it's funnier that way because it went the extra mile. What also helps our show is that we never take ourselves seriously. Here's a show that can wink at itself.
