If an idea is funny, does it matter if there are logic holes in it, or is it enough if it makes someone laugh? For example, character A seeks out character B with a question. B repeats the same unexpected, nonsensical answer for all questions. I'd start thinking that A will get horribly frustrated and try to extract a different answer, but how is that raising the stakes, which a good sketch writer is supposed to do? Does it matter why B says this thing over and over? Someone must've told A where B was, so why wasn't A warned about the silly answer? Maybe the answer means different things to different people, but must I address that, or is it unnecessary backstory for a 2-minute short? Does any of this even matter if the interaction is funny?
