Do you know about this one thing? This fella in the 19th Century, Georges Polti, came up with a list of 36 Dramatic Situations... it was founded on research and science, even. Well, guess the fuck what?! They don't have a list of comedic situations! Georgio was slackin"! Geo-polts totally bounced out on half of the job. Like, half of life is comedy, brother... as a matter of fact, I am watching Pineapple Express right now. SO. I went ahead and did the ol' bastard's work for him...
Also, see The Wrestler.
Also, as a preface, you should know that Rob's favorite genre of comedy is large pyramids of cans being knocked over. I went a little overboard to please Rob...
