When it comes to comedy, it may be too much to suggest that Alfred Hitchcock was the Danny McBride of his day-a guy in charge of putting a comic vision on the screen that is shockingly lacking in humor-but he most certainly made the correct choice is going with suspense over comedy as his genre of preference. That said, it cannot possibly be argued that no funny characters appear in Hitchcock's films. They just don't appear in Hitch's comedies.
