With a rounder head.

There's also the one where Gretchen Moll is an uptight librarian who goes to Mexico and has an affair with Jesus. That one's mostly great because it has all these weird little side bits, like that the town has a ton of people with missing limbs, and Jesus makes prosthetics for them all.

I watched exactly one episode of that show, and the major plot point was "Everybody kind of wishes they could run a restaurant, but it's actually a lot harder than you think." I could not look away from this bizarre effort to force generic sitcom plots into the mouths of cartoon animals.

Aw, come on. The Ten is fun, in a lazy, dumb way. That bit where Liev Schrieber and Joe Lo Truglio bankrupt their families competing to see who can own the most useless CAT scan machines is great.

I found Burn After Reading a thousand times more enjoyable when I realized it was essentially a long, meandering set-up to a joke that has its punch-line in the final Simmons/Rache scene where they happily conclude that literally nothing mattered and the whole thing was a huge waste of time.

Man, Hangover 2 is such a weird movie. It mimics the structure of the first one SO rigidly that I've always half suspected it's a very intentional bit of satire on the unnecessary nature of sequels.

For the same reason we don't eat ice cream for every meal. Every now and then it's good to get some substance with your laughs.

Wow, it's like you assembled the perfect list of "classic" comedies I think are overrated.

I was trying to think today, of the comedy's I've seen since 2000. And, while I remember laughing at a lot of shit, the only ones I could really, actually remember things about were the ones that had knives hidden behind their backs. Specifically, Chris Morris' Four Lions, and Armando Ianucci's In The Loop. It's not

Except Lennon and Garant would never put up with this "uncredited" shit. That's cash money you're losing out on. If you're gonna be a prostitute, you might as well be a high-paid one. (I'm not being a jerk, like half of their screenwriting book is about this stuff).
