Remember how in Ghostbusters II our heroes had to battle paranormal
slime that had been formed out of all the negative energy in New York City
oozing down into the sewers? Well, The Comedy is sort of like that slime -- it's the negative runoff of all those
Judd Apatow comedies we’ve been watching. If you’ve ever wondered whether stuff
like Knocked Up had a certain nasty, cruel, sad subtext – now it's become the text.
In fact, maybe those are the comedies the title refers to, since the film
itself is not meant to be funny in any way.
