Of all the lines to choose, from the guy whose defining feature is that he's the character that can directly tell jokes, as opposed to just "being funny", you go with this one?!

I really don't get why this show is funny (I know it's a cult classic and to each their own). I was shocked when my dad said they are making an Australian one. As he said, 'It's basically just an un-funny version of Utopia'
