Jonah Hill’s performance in Superbad was Oscar worthy

I feel like truly funny or scary is harder to pull off than dramatic. No reason classic comedies or horror movies shouldn’t get oscars when it’s harder to pull of a great one than it is a great drama.

I view Comedy as a different art form of acting than Drama. Drama is all about becoming the Character in the simplest form. Comedy is all about getting the joke across with factors such as timing, and being able to have the audience get the joke without explaining the joke.

This video helps explain in a way why Ghostbusters 2016 bombed in it's Comedy. After watching so many comedies it starts to sink in that if you really want to be funny, there is a ton of smarts behind it; its not like stand-up (which is a different medium of Comedy) where its a punchline, but rather in a movie, its a very clever and smart scene to make people laugh.

Fogell : Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with their fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called fukking strategy, all right? Gets me every time “Listen up, ass-face”

That’s actually smart thinking
