Like that other classic drama Seinfeld.
i can go on and on about this, and the louie thread in OOTV already covered this discussion ad nauseam, but the roots of stand-up comedy aren't funny things, necessarily. often it's horribly sad, disturbing, or [censored] up stuff that can result in a hilarious comedy bit (for instance, the first episode of louie where he talks about his dead dog).
seinfeld didn't explore this at all, in part because seinfeld's material was just about as light as can be.
