investigation progresses that he sits down and says, i am a u.s. fighting man, and i will live by our code and our creed, duty, honor, country, first and above all and he tells them absolutely the truth and that it is checkable, verifiable and he comes out of this with his honor intact. >> i think tv's always been a fantastic medium for taking characters who -- you know, they're outrageous. they're slightly inappropriate. >> people who are socially awkward or people who are missing an etiquette or filter. >> schlebs, nerds, weirdos. >> it's not a normal person. >> someone who has almost zero self-awareness. kind of zero wisdom. >> expressing things they

thought of, but would never say. >> i think the odd ball character never knows they're odd, though. in their mind it's going great. >> on television for some reason they've all found homes. >> and whether you're pushing that to comedic extremes or laughs or reaching for a kind of a drama, both things are appealing. >> they are, in fact, misfits with a capital m. >> and it's just fun to see institutions sort of undone in some sort of inappropriate way by somebody who just dares to be there doing it. >> television is most certainly here to stay. >> new eyes, new vision for the world. >> all right. take it easy. just take it easy.

for laughs is something people can relate to. because it's more comfortable to do in comedy than in drama. >> aps not the story of this insane thing that happened to this young woman, but it's a story of how to do you fit in. >> i think the idea of being a misfit in any situation is how do you fit in in any moment of your life. everyone has a time they feel like the incorrect puzzle piece. >> her hiccups and missteps are something anyone can identify with. maybe the midwest, maybe that makes her more relatable. she's from indiana. >> comedy by its very nature. is derisive. you are picking on somebody. somebody. it doesn't matter who it is. now it can be an ethnicity, a physical feature, bald people, short people, fat people, i got all three. it can be just about anything. but in order to get a laugh, you are actually pointing at and

shining a light on some sort of generic or specific foible. when you do it with the misfit, and the misfit doesn't crumble, everybody feels better. >> take off that smile, tight even up that face. >> that guy has it worse than me, he's being treated worse than me and he's not dieing. >> i don't like you. do you like me? >> yes, sir. >> misfits in television shows that's like every show i ever watched. >> you can't be too careful these days. there are a lot of strange people in this world. >> i'm a big fan of classic tv shows. >> jethro, what does that sign say? >> it says beverly hills. >> i don't care what the episode is about. i like to see those characters be those characters. >> gilligan was a misfit. he was kind of a knuckle head.

>> i'll save you skipper. >> corporal agard was an idiot. >> there have been so many versions of a certain kind of comedy character who doesn't get it and in an exaggerated comedic way kind of relates to how a lot of us feel. that's what's funny. >> people love a character who's needy or hapless or is kind of evil or horny or greedy. >> i'll get it. >> gomez adams, he was horny and greedy and multilingual. >> that was living mon ami. >> oh, tisch, when you speak french you drive me wild. speak some more french.

"taxi" was amazing in who it brought together. >> thank you very much. >> you had this melting pot of all these different characters. they weren't a family, but they became a family.

>> the reveal of him in the pilot yelling his nasty thing and that cage thing opens and he comes down. >> okay. i got to get tough with you guys. >> then he walks out of the cage and you see that he's not tall, that he's this little guy, it brought the house down. and, you know, just the character erupted. >> mostly broadcast networks were strongly suggesting that every character needed to be likable and they can't do anything that's going to upset anybody because we really need to root for them. >> i always use louie depalma of an example of when i get the note, this character is not likable. really have you seen the show "taxi." did you see louie depalma? was he likable to you? he was lovable because he was really funny. >> they played up just how unlikable he was. just a great, great, great sitcom villain. then they did a brilliant thing where they started showing

episodes where you began to sympathize with him. >> i'm on my way to some event and i have to change. >> he's peeping at elaine's character dressing in the locker room and he's caught. >> it's absolutely untrue. >> so why are your eyes tearing? >> because i'm hurt. i'm hurt you would think i could do such a terrible thing. >> how come only one is tearing. >> it's not the end of the world. >> i say don't you understand, and it's like i'm sorry. haven't you ever been violated. >> he tells this heartbreaking story about having to buy clothes in the children's section. >> the only way i can get anything to fit me is i have to go to a men's store and walk straight to the boy's department. >> it made you feel for him in such an interesting way. >> he says now i know is that how i made you feel and i say kind of and then we have this

really, really sweet moment. >> god, i'm sorry. >> it's okay. >> and, of course, he grabs me on the butt. >> going too far up town to talk about a downtown form like comedy is always dangerous. i'll give it one stab. i think misfit characters succeed when they say something very true. almost by accident about everybody who fits. >> comedy often is meant to provoke, to agitate a little bit, to push some buttons. certain characters entertain us in that way. and actually, you know in their own way they do provoke some thoughts, some conversations. >> what's the matter? >> my mother caught me. >> caught you doing what? >> you know.

i was alone. >> if a misfit can ask the question that nobody else can because they're either dumber or they're from another land or whatever it may be. then clearly the "seinfeld" four can talk about masturbation when nobody else on television could talk about masturbation. >> i'll tell you this, though, i achl never doing that again. >> what? you mean in your mother's house or all together? >> all together. >> yeah right. >> give me a break. >> you don't think i can? >> no chance. >> you think you could? >> well, i know i could hold out longer than you. >> care to make it interesting? >> it was absolutely brand new territory. i was convinced that they were not going to let us get away with this. >> the contest had us absolutely scratching our heads going, okay, no one gave us an advance warning of this.

>> yeah. >> well, that was fast. >> "seinfeld" was an experiment. it didn't have traditional structure. it certainly didn't have traditional characters. writers somehow felt they had to present characters that were more honorable, more respectful, and somehow they weren't nearly as real. >> it used to be that the misfits had a certain well, i am who i am, but i have to fit into the real world.

we like to think of

ourselves in our society as being a lot smarter than it is, maybe. >> do you want to be expelled outright? kicked out of school for good? condemned to a life of stupidity? >> okay. >> me, too. when can we start. >> i remember reading a statistic, something like 30% of high school students in america, can't locate the united states on a globe if it's not marked. and people being horrified and surprised. i'm thinking that's right. >> remember the rules, i throw it at you then you throw it at me. >> i don't get it. how do you win? >> it is easy and probably good practice to use the misfit, which is again the person that is lesser than us, the ones we can look down on in some way, that's the misfit, to use

them -- as shakespeare said hold the mirror up to society and ask people to look at themselves. >> what do we do now? >> we can do homework. >> audiences can connect with that behavior because we're flawed. we're all flawed. and, in fact, the offensive creative material is that which doesn't acknowledge our flaws. where people behave well and are perfect. >> would you like a copy of my butt? >> a lot of the '80s television was -- there was a lot of goody-goody stuff. i liked "the cosby show" but everyone's going to princeton and everyone is smart and good. "beavis and butt-head" to me was

the opposite of that. >> some characters have no desire to get better or they're just stupid. and they're just wrong because they're just dumb and they just don't get it. >> it cracks me up. >> i made this joke where i said i love the bourn identity but i would like it more if it starred george wendt, norm from "cheers". i just think it's funny to see people trying to succeed in life and they have bigger obstacles. >> man, i hate high school. >> i had a friend recently whose son is very nerdy, doesn't really fit in school. i had my dvd box of freaks and geeks. i said, i'll tell you what i'll give you this box, you watch

freaks and geeks from beginning to end, watch all 17 episodes and i guarantee things will change fnchts you don't feel by seventh or eighth grade you're off a little bit then you're peaking too soon. i felt on par with any person that i don't know how to dress, how to talk to people. and i slowly figured it out over 20 years. >> why are you the one who's always out of step? is there something the matter with you? what makes you the outsider? >> that's what i always found interesting about high school is it's this kind of great social, i don't know, experiment in which you lump all these kids into a building and the only thing we all have in common is we're the same age. >> if you were one of the popular people in high school, you were in the center of the action and you weren't observing it, and you weren't having thoughts about it really because

you were living it. and the envy and resentment and all these emotions kind of make the creative person want to do a satirical take on it. >> you're dead. >> i'm sick of being called a geek. what's so geeky about us anyway? we're just guys. >> to me it's all about rooting intere interes interests. you want to root for the person who has the least chance to succeed. >> "freaks and geeks" was my attempt to recreate my actual experiences in high school. >> paul feye grew up as a nerd in michigan. so he wanted to make a show

about his growing up, which was apparently a lot of beatings. >> on the first day i created this questionnaire that i handed out to the writers and said what's the most humiliating thing that happened to you, what's the worst drug you took? >> we sat in a room for two weeks and told stories and mined them for the whole season. >> it became a collective spewing of pain. >> buy this garment and i guarantee you'll be perceived as a man of distinction by the ladies. >> the jump suit is something i did. >> he claims when he was a kid, having this jump suit would make him popular and he was humiliated. >> i knew i made a mistake and i was stuck in it. >> it does seem you have to go through a bath of pain to become a professional comedy writer.
