"We have to find somebody who not only can fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner."

The audiobook honestly conveys the creators' remarkable naivete and their challenges in gaining buy-in to produce such a novel, unconventional comedic form.

The assembly of anecdotes lends testimony and context to the impact of the film at the time of its debut and to its current relevance.

The team also shares how audience screenings helped forge their fourteen comedic "rules" that govern the timing and effectiveness of the gags to ultimately craft the signature sensibility of the final film.
