“A great playwright, Tom Stoppard, once said that laughter is the sound of comprehension. My goal will be to get you to laugh at the end. I need to start with a digression, though. There’s this idea in both comedy and video games called ‘negative transfer.’ The idea is that a rapid switching of one’s frame, in the comedy case, or control scheme, in the video game case, can be both funny and frustrating. As a simple example, think about playing a Nintendo game and you’ve learned since the beginning of time that the left little button on the D-pad moves your character left and the ‘A’ button makes him jump. And then imagine some sort of spell in the game and suddenly all the controls are reversed. That’s called a ‘negative transfer.”

“»Als Kind fragte ich mich einmal, was passieren würde, wenn man einen 3,8-Liter-Milchkanister mit Benzin füllt und anzündet? Ich nahm das Benzin, das wir sonst für den Rasenmäher verwendeten, füllte den Kanister, ging raus auf die Straße und zündete ihn an … Wie erwartet gab es eine ziemliche Flamme. Da kam der grüne Ford Taurus meiner Mutter um die Ecke und fuhr die Straße hinunter, und ich dachte: ›Oh, nein …‹ Also versetzte ich dem Kanister einen Tritt, dass er umfiel, und das Benzin über die Straße in den Rinnstein floss. Es rann den Rinnstein hinunter, und da waren Autos [weiter unten an der Straße]. Ich stellte mir vor, wie die Autos in die Luft flogen. Also ging ich zum Rinnstein und stampfte auf das Benzin, damit es ausgeht, aber das spritzte natürlich, und jetzt brannte auch der Rasen. Es wurde immer schlimmer. Aber schließlich löschten wir das Feuer, und das Einzige, was meine Mutter sagte, war: ›Bryan, das solltest du wahrscheinlich nicht wieder tun‹, und ich sagte: ›Okay, geht in Ordnung.‹ Das war typisch für meine Mutter.«”
