The premise
Here’s the bit.
Addressing their audience, Fry and Laurie unveil a formal charter meant to make their comedy accountable. They divide its promises between quality and delivery, then outline an elaborate complaints process involving expert committees and official certification. Even an unsuccessful joke can receive a terminal remedy. Their demonstration of timing promptly exposes how difficult it would be to turn comedy into a dependable public service.

Say it with us

Quite funny, but only quite.
Then that joke will be humanely destroyed.
In a modern society, jokes must be delivered on time.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
