The Comedy Expendables

The Expendables has proven that a franchise can ride on the strength of washed up action star, so arguably the same could be true of comedy stars.   But who?  And how?  And in what capacity?  Relax, I got this.

Plot:  A group of ex-sitcom performers from the 70s and 80s (and one circus clown known only as the Gerkin) are tasked to come together to reform a Central American comedy school that has been producing nothing but douche, unfunny comedians who steal jokes and obtain multi-million dollar contracts and endorsements for being less funny than ball cancer.  Only too late do they discover that the school is actually being run by mediocre comedian/forgotten 80s comedy force Joe Flaherty.  His plan?  Flood the modern comedy scene with insufferable and unfunny shits until no one remembers what actual funny is any more, then stage a massive comeback.

You may be thinking this seemed awfully brief and as it all an excuse to show that terrible photoshop at the top?  Yes.  It made me laugh.
