I'm just gonna resign from making up bits because reality is becoming impossible to parody.

Making parody of reality would be making it “normal” at this point.

In 5 years, there needs to be a brave sitcom made about a person just going around and experiencing "normal" things. Set in 2007, "Normal Things" will be the parody that catches the zeitgeist in a way that previous attempts failed.

Instead of being a serious documentary, it will be a serious comedy.

No laugh track, wisecracks or gags.

The sheer absurdity of it will be divisive, many will simply not get it.

But it will be a bold statement on the reality of daily life, winning a Tony for its stage interpretation, and the lead actor becoming a meme in the format of the new little stickers (that move!) smartphone chat apps let you attach in response to messages.

Thanks for listening to my elevator pitch.
