this goes back to my theory that comedy movies really don't need to have a plot. meaning that the plot gets in the way of the comedy.

I dunno, a truly ludicrous plot pays dividends. Not the moralistic kind, just something fucking insane that keeps getting more insane as the minutes tick by ( not a movie a good example of this is anything by the guys who did Sea Lab & Archer)
