  Brother : [gag commercial for the Community board game]  Sorry dad, guess I win!

  Father : You stupid child. Nobody's winning anything. Don't you see? This means we don't exist. We're not created by God.

  [drops the tiny script replica] 

  Father : We're created by a joke. We were never born, and we will never actually live.

  [family in stunned silence] 

  Commercial Announcer : [rapid-fire disclaimer]  Dice not included, some assembly required. Lines between perception, desire, and reality may become blurred, redundant, or interchangeable. Characters may hook up with no regard for your emotional investment. Some episodes to conceptual to be funny. Some too funny to be immersive, and some so immersive they still aren't funny. Consistency between seasons may vary. Viewers may be measured by a secretive obsolete system based on selected participants keeping hand-written journals of what they watched. Show may be canceled and moved to the Internet where it turns out 10s of millions were watching the whole time - may not matter. Fake commercial may end with disclaimer gag which may descend into vain Chuck Lorre-esque rant by narcissistic creator. Creator may be unstable. Therapist may have told creator this is not how you make yourself a good person. Life may pass by while we mistreat those close to us. Those close to us may be those watching. Those people may want to know I love them, but I may be incapable of saying it. Contains pieces the size child's esophagus.
