Earlier quoted context omitted.
I thought most of them were funny too. Startups are basically comedies, or at least seem so in retrospect. One thing I've learned from YC is that practically all startups are broken in some way, no matter what face they show to the world. And novel kinds of breakage are the basis of humor.
"Startups are basically comedies [...]" I've been seriously waiting for a Scrubs-style primetime comedy on startups and/or Silicon Valley-esque entrepreneur culture. Maybe one of these days, I'll get a pilot-writer and pitch the idea to a network...
Why write a script when you can just use reality? Give each startup in the next YC batch a video camera and get them to record the journey. They could either post it regularly as a video blog or save it all up and edit it into a lovely 2hour documentary. Would be great to watch and give outsiders a better idea of what startups are like. Kind of like 'Project Aardvark" [http://www.projectaardvark.com/movie/].
