We were discussing this over at the Frustrated Comedy Writer tribe* and plugging various American sitcoms into the formula.

One thing I like is that because there's no objective way to assign a numerical value to some of the variables, scores will vary between individuals...thereby accounting for why, for me, Chef is one of the most perfect comedic creations known to science, whereas someone else who is ignorant and tasteless might disagree.

And also, it codifies the universal truth that human vanities and delusions are the basis of all comedy.
