Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Comedy is an indie film by Rick Alverson starring Tim Heidecker and featuring Eric Wareheim, Gregg Turkington, and James Murphy in supporting roles.Rather than being, you know, a comedy, the film follows Heidecker's character Swanson who has been completely engulfed by irony and become disconnected with everything around him, save for the fleeting jokes between him and his "friends." The film is loosely set up with Swanson set to inherit his comatose father's wealthy estate, but a majority of the narrative simply focuses on his immature tangents across New York.The film premiered at Sundance in January 2012 before its limited theatrical release in November. The first ten minutes were also deliberately leaked online before its release. | |

Intergenerational Friendship: Swanson's immaturity allows him to genuinely enjoy activities like playing on the beach with an actual child. | |

Kavorka Man: Swanson is sarcastic, immature, and frequently drunk with a beer gut to match. He is also seen piquing the interest of at least two women throughout the film, sleeping with one of them and only striking out with the second due to the intervention of a seizure. | |

Dumb Blonde: It's not that Swanson is dumb, he just acts incredibly immature because he doesn't give a shit about anything. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Swanson's friends, and Swanson himself when he's with them. They make fun of any shred of genuine emotion, and the film serves as a deconstruction of what that leaves in their lives. | |
