    Jesus Christ, I didn’t think it was possible to see a whole episode of the show within 30 seconds of reading.

      The humor mainly comes from overly elaborate execution of fundamentally simple ideas, so it’s usually pretty easy to summarize, even if the sheer amount of effort involved is so far outside the realm of plausible (or cost effective).

      The amount of effort that went into the Dumb Starbucks store, or the Michael Richards impersonator leaving a $10,000 tip, were mind bogglingly intricate ways to execute fundamentally simple big picture plans.

      His current show, The Rehearsal, really leans into that dynamic, too.
