I will not give in to this consensous reality! Cut the demons loose, John! Let 'em loose! Thats were your characters come from. Comedy is agression. You think thats an empty phrase? Run out and kill 'em. Knock 'em dead. Hey, hey, murder them! Bullshit! Comedy is an assault. God given gift of laughter, my ass. Kill em. Make 'em laugh till it hurts. Fuck 'em where they breathe! Make 'em laugh! Make 'em laugh till it hurts! Make 'em laugh till they piss their goddamn pants! Make 'em laugh till they have a fucking hemorage! That's comedy.
