  1. I dunno how unpopular an opinion this is, but I think the straight man in any comedy scene is 100x funnier if he just doesn’t say anything.

    1. @mrmattimation Oh yes, I agree. The moment I hear that the person tapping jokes takes it up the chocolate highway is the moment I can truely laugh at their jokes.

    2. @mrmattimation Kevin Smith has done well with it, but Bob Newhart made a career of being a solo straight man, so I think there's a spectrum of wiggle room.
