In 5 years, there needs to be a brave sitcom made about a person just going around and experiencing "normal" things. Set in 2007, "Normal Things" will be the parody that catches the zeitgeist in a way that previous attempts failed.
Instead of being a serious documentary, it will be a serious comedy.
No laugh track, wisecracks or gags.
The sheer absurdity of it will be divisive, many will simply not get it.
But it will be a bold statement on the reality of daily life, winning a Tony for its stage interpretation, and the lead actor becoming a meme in the format of the new little stickers (that move!) smartphone chat apps let you attach in response to messages.
I'm just gonna resign from making up bits because reality is becoming impossible to parody.
Making parody of reality would be making it “normal” at this point.

Thanks for listening to my elevator pitch.
Just make up incredibly mundane bits about every day life. Garisson Keillor made a living off of this.
