I think up until the point when we started in the business, which was in the early '70s, most of the humor was political. The smart humor was political satire. ↗

Our fathers were actually business partners in the same real-estate firm, and we got together and thought, How can we get a movie together and get distribution and create a new movie genre? We started by making satires of commercials. ↗
