"What we do is take the worst things in our life and turn it into something palatable for everybody else, because the best comedy comes from real life.

I think that when you talk about something that really happened, whether you make it a caricature of what happened, or whatever, but it is a version of the truth, you connect with the audience in a way that you cannot with contrived material."
