Only a Joke Can Save Us: A Theory of Comedy · Todd McGowan · p.165
Outside and Inside > Keaton as the Included Exclusion
Theoretical move: Keaton's comedy enacts an "included exclusion" in which excess is internal to the social order rather than external to it: belonging itself generates lack, and this immanent self-subversion of the social order constitutes a more radical comedy than Chaplin's comedy of external exclusion.
The initial excess in both cases produces a lack, but then the lack leads to a final excess.
