I loved this design from the moment I saw it, however, I loved it even MORE upon rewatching episodes of "Get a Life" on the vol. 1 DVD and seeing the one where Chris joins a gang, and has to set himself on fire at one point, to show the gang members he means business, hahaha (done with hilarious stock footage of some random guy on fire :D) he then says, upon completion of the initiation: "This is the happiest moment of my life!!... I just figured I would DIE after I set myself on fire, so this is an extra bonus!!!"

...probably grossly misquoted, haha but yes, people on fire = comedy. another example! when David Letterman had the guy on fire run across the stage!! :D ahhh good times.
