I like dark comedies. That's why I like the Wayans Brothers.
It's not good for comedy to be like, 'Thanks for liking me'. Being popular is poison.
I think sadness and anger are really fertile ground for comedy. No one is really interested in a happy person doing comedy.
But comedy is like music, it appeals to some people. Some people like Creed, those people are usually pretty stupid. But they probably also like Carrot Top. I would say that they're part of the same ilk.
