One thing I forgot from that last Idle thoughts.

Tragedy is funny in spanish. Think of the most horrible scene of outrage you've ever seen. Now think of it as the same scene, but the thing being screamed is "por que!?" You know that's funny.

This all goes along with my theory that comedy is always rooted in tragedy. So far I know of 3 ways to make the change.

Tragedy + time = Comedy
Tragedy + Spainish = comedy
Tragedy + happening to somebody else = comedy.
