Suddenly "I just want my rug" is put into so much perspective.

3:43--A perfect example of what he's talking about here is how Barney Fife in "The Andy Griffith Show" is a terrible singer yet is always so determined to sing.

Those are not opposites. You typically need both of those 2 ways to do the funny. Making small stakes (like getting laid) big. Or making big stakes (wife having a baby) small. Are both funny. Incompetence of the character is almost a given for all comedy. Or at least misplaced priorities of the character, like not wanting to miss the football game to drive your pregnant wife to the hospital.
