Comedy Staples

Nothing new and exciting to post right now because I have that God-awful duty (cell phone watch), but I just wanted to throw this out for you to ponder. Akemi and I were discussing comedy tonight (both in film, commercials, and tv shows), and we agreed that there are three basic comedic elements that directors can never go wrong with in getting a laugh:

1) A guy getting hit in the nuts
2) A talking dog
3) Accidental public nudity

Think about it. They're pretty universal. If you can think of any others, please let me know!
