I was just watching The Simpsons and an example of great comedy character writing jumped out.
Lisa has persuaded her family to begin recycling the household waste.
Lisa: Mom, you're mixing polyurethane with polyethelene!
Homer: MA-ARGE!
My two boys laughed out loud. There was no boom-tish gag there, just the writer using established characters as tools.
Anyone else got a favourite character comedy moment they can remember? As opposed to a good stand-up line, I mean?
