Zucker Brothers

Made films the shows talk about.

No film of theirs is counted, so what they drew on and who drew on them comes only from the lines with them at one end.

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Dr. Strangelove (1964): 1 line

  1. lineage (comedic influence) · them, directly: Dr. Strangelove ⇒ Zucker Brothers (the host's read). Speaker had a breakthrough that Strangelove must have been a big influence on the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams.
    “I did finally have the breakthrough watching this of how much of an influence this movie must have been on the Zucker Brothers and John Abrahams.”

  2. lineage (lineage): The Batman → Zucker Brothers. The film's stacked visual gags (a joke in the foreground and another behind) are the Zucker Brothers style.
    “And very Zucker Brothers, the like, Drebin can be saying something, but there's an additional gag behind him.”
