But in the previous podcast, you and Brad talk repeatedly about the Murphy Brown kind of joke that *also* asks the audience to conjure some celebrity and imagine him in an unexpected situation, and how it seems lazy, which I also tend to agree with. But what's the distinction between the two? Structurally they seem identical (Imagine Celebrity A in Unexpected Scenario B).
