Same with Robert Downey Jnr in Iron Man. Iron Man isn't a comedy but some of the lines in it are far funnier than what I've heard in most films that supposedly are. If that makes sense.

yeah, i figured you relate to comedy the way i do to horror-- we all have our biases.
for example, inherent vice had shit right out of the zucker brothers (naked gun, etc)-- like the beatdowns he gets from the cops.

and there's nothing goofier than the zucker bros.--except maybe manuel in fawlty towers.
