The Asperger syndrome

From the first seconds, it's clear to me that in real life I'd hate to work under such leader's orders, so I focus on how the phlegamatic subordinates would tolerate him. Actually this creates a fair amount of comic tension and prepares very well to the sudden crash against the doors ! So yes I laughed. If you add to that being treated like a kid having to copy menus, the others' placidity feels the more strange, and thus funny.

Here's my fav de Funès sequence... I find him as Fourchaume funny because even if there's an extremely low probability the others will buy his fake deathbed comedy, yet he's crazy enough and perseveres (the comic tension builds there in the fact somebody should notice this is all fake), then the fact Castagnié would reach summits of naivety to the extent of buying the story and crying adds to more comic tension
