Comedy is my favorite genre. I think it often doesn't get the respect it deserves, and I think one of the reasons is there was a tradition in the past of comedy looking kind of brightly lit and like a sitcom. Nicholas Stoller brightlycomedydeserve share on social

I love watching how people who are in love with each other deal with each other. Every time I've had a fight with an ex-girlfriend, at the time they're horrible, but when I look back they're often funny and weird, and that kind of stuff makes me laugh. Nicholas Stoller backdealfight share on social

A big part of being in a relationship or marriage or whatever is you have to eventually compromise.
