Everybody needs some good sketch comedy.
My daughter got me a 'World's Best Dad' mug. So we know she's sarcastic.
In the end, the thing that really stays with you is not that you were clever enough to connect a sketch to another sketch, but what really sticks with you is when you just have an incredible moment happen, or execute a really funny idea.
The laugh is what trumps everything.
You shouldn't eat red meat, but you shouldn't make resolutions you can't keep.
It's nice that the independent scene is taken seriously, and has been.
