This nails it on the head. It's not "american" comedies, it's mass-marketed comedies. Plenty of british comedy is guilty of the same sins.

So what we're really talking about here is the difference between mass produced tripe and something created by someone with actual vision. All the stuff mentioned here is used all the time, it's just not applied consistently.

Holy moly... Next, they will be bringing bottles of milk in scheduled intervals, using only how many empty bottles to data mine how many you need replaced!! Amazing.

I will start:

Nothing. It's all done now. Share this, close your computer forever, and go to the streets to sing and have fun.

What a coincidence. I store burritos in my cheeks too.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, that's what science is all about! I see everyone else has pretty much answered your question, just wanted to say - screw everyone that's being a dick, asking questions is perfectly fine.

Slow? That's gifs.

"If you can't name two things you're regularly doing outside of work, you're spending too much time there." Does it work the same way if those two things are drinking gin and throwing rocks at old people?
