Comedy is hard to translate into other languages which is why successful comedies have themes that are universal and humour that comes out of character development. A new Italian comedy starring longtime comedy duo Ficarra and Picone is one of those kinds of shows. Out of the van spill a couple of guys with guns, plus two guys in vests that are tied up. As the one of the gun-toting guys tells the guys in the vests to get on their knees, one begs for his life by talking too fast. We go back to how all this began. Salvo (Salvatore Ficarra) has fallen asleep watching his favourite crime drama, whose finale was going to finally reveal the killer. His wife Ester (Anna Favella) wakes him up and not only tells him he’s watching too much of this show and pays more attention to that than her. Meanwhile, Valentino (Valentino Picone) lives with his mother. Salvo and Valentino own an appliance repair business. They’re called to an apartment by a man to repair a TV. Unbeknownst to them, a killer invades that man’s apartment and shoots him dead. When Salvo and Valentino get there – they find the body and freak out. Valentino somehow manages to touch the gun that was left there, and when Salvo finds out what’s going on, his knowledge of crime scenes kicks in.
