There's an art to stupid comedy. There's an art to offensive comedy, and I think the key is it's just gotta make you laugh.

There's an art to comedy.
I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I'm not the funny one, which works out great.
Comedy is a reflection. We create nothing. We set no styles, no standards. We're reflections. It's a distorted mirror in the fun house. We watch society. As society behaves, then we have the ability to make fun of it.
What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.
Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
Now the point of comedy is not just looking funny, it's use of language. We have at our disposal a great language... and the imaginative, creative use of that language can be at the service of humour.
Whatever makes you laugh is fine, and all we can do as comedy professionals is try to steer you towards something that we think is a little better - but not put you down or just perplex you in the process.
Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.
Comedy is only as stupid as you are smart.
