Perhaps inspired by his gig writing the Fresh Off the Boat theme song, Danny Brownâs new music video for his song âAinât It Funnyâ joins the long, grand sitcom tradition of navigating serious topics around an omnipresent laugh track. Instead of abusing caffeine pills or getting trapped in a discarded refrigerator, however, director Jonah Hill uses the backdrop of a classic â90s multi-cam to address problems todayâs children might be facing, like being stabbed by a human-sized Xanax, bedding and murdering your family, or getting impregnated by Growing Painsâ Joanna Kerns. âIâve been destroyed, and if I destroy, maybe Iâll feel okay,â Uncle Danny admits to Gus Van Santâs Dad in the midst of his breakdown. âNone of us feel okay,â Dad reassures him as the music swells. And the audience roars on.
