TBS' Angie Tribeca is the funniest show on television when it comes to Jokes Per Minute.
Every passing year it seems like professional athletes get bigger, faster, and stronger.
Im starting to think, however, the same might be true for TV sitcoms.
Or at the very least, TV writers are finding a way to cram more jokes into 22-minute increments.
Maybe its pure coincidence!
Or maybe were just that much closer to cracking the code of televised comedy.
By 2050, well be measuring in jokes per second.
Angie Tribecahits the ground running absurdly fast.
The chief is always just sick about whatever crime is going down that week.
And the mere inclusion of James Franco in a flashback?
Thats the best joke of all.
I told myself it doesnt matter but it turns out thats a big part of it.

Tell the concierge, youre there to pay for sex.
Shell know what it means.
Bigfish also shows how difficult the JPM calculating process can be.
One of the shortcomings of the JPM metric is that some jokes are just plain funnier than others.
Take Kerri Kenneys character for instance.
Still, its just one joke.
Ferret Royale then may be considerably funnier than Commissioner Bigfish despite having a nearly identical JPM.
If nothing else, it shows that aCasino Royaleparody will never be unwelcome.

Our worst guess for why Inside Man has the highest JPM is that this is all a dogs dream.
