This was part of the New York 48 Hour film contest. On a Friday night at 7PM, we were given the genre "Buddy Film". All entries had to have 3 things in common: A character named Bethany (or Benjamin) Grimes who is a professional organizer, use a set of keys as a prop, and have the line "You are not gonna believe what I just heard." We also decided to make ours a musical. This film was conceived, written, composed, recorded, shot and edited in 48 Hours. Matt Pollock
Pretty good. But why is "Bob" such a funny name? E.g. if it had been "Ted's office" or "Bill's office" it wouldn't have been nearly as funny.
I'm not making a joke, and I'm not bitter (right now). I am seriously asking why it's objectively funnier that it was called "Bob's office" versus some other name.
