Duckers law of Sitcoms:

Adding the phrase "With Hilarious Consequences" on the end of a plot description is enough to turn tragedy into comedy.

"Tune in next week, when the Centauri bomb the Narns back into the Stone Age... with hilarious consequences."

By George, I think you're on to something.

It's a great law ....

... though it has been pointed out many times before (including by me, though not on LiveJournal!)

Another example:
Bush decides to invade Iraq, but without UN support, meanwhile the world oil prices soar. Now George Bush has to run for re-election - With Hilarious Consequences ....

May I suggest the corollary? Adding the phrase "A Special Episode:" to the beginning of a plot description is enough to turn comedy into tragedy (or at least a morality play).

Comment not really germane to post.
Random LJ User chick asks, "Is the Neverwhere mini-series worth buying?" With Hilarious Consequences!

I only saw the first episode and cringed at the terrible budget and camp acting.

Some people loved it tho.

I'm afraid you'll have to make your own mind up :->

Thanks, Andrew for nothing as she continues to wallow in indecesion.
