When it comes to humor, on a scientific, visceral level, the Jews are on top of things. Their timing, their use of irony, their use of the unexpected and/or "subverting expectation" is unimpeachable.

It's suffused, just inseperable, from American comedy, which is the best comedy. You can pinpoint when pacing started to get good, and you had sit-coms went from things like Taxi and became more like Cheers, and it gets more Jewy. It gets more and more Jewy from Friends to The Office and then the entire idea of shows sort of falls off a cliff.

But basically all of it owes thanks to Mel and Jewry. He was so successful that we're still trying to climb our way out of the seemingly bottomless pit of irony he buried us into. Funny but fucking evil.
