We couldn't pitch the show without having created one, at least one 20 to 25 minute version of 'Broad City.' We wouldn't know how to describe it.

If people watch 'Broad City' very closely, we just drop lines about people we love, just to say we like them.

When we make the show, we are always talking about how the show is really in between what we make and what the viewer thinks of it.

You know all those young people watching Comedy Central love 'Frasier.'

I've been watching 'The Cosby Show' and 'Roseanne' a lot right now, and those work so well because they're not, like, jokey comedies; they are coming from real characters. We want our show to be like that. A family show.

We just sort of thought a Web series would be a cool thing to be able to send to our parents to show them that we were, in fact, actually doing comedy.
