Put Casey the Cop to work for you.

Charlie Chaplin says: "What I rely on more than anything else is bringing before the public someone who is in a ridiculous and embarrassing position.

"Thus, the mere fact of a hat blowing away isn't funny in itself. What is, is to see its owner running after it, with his hair blown about and his coat tails flying. A man is walking along the street—that doesn't lend itself to laughter. But placed in a ridiculous and embarrassing position, the human being becomes a cause of laughter to his fellow creatures. Every comic situation is based on that

"And comic films had immediate success because MOST OF THEM SHOWED POLICE MEN FALLING DOWN DRAIN-HOLES. STUMBLING INTO WHITEWASH PAILS, FALLING OUT OF CARTS, AND PUT TO ALL KINDS OF BOTHERATIONS.

"Here are people who stand for the dignity of power, and often deeply imbued with this idea, being made ridiculous and getting laughed at and the sight of their mishaps makes the public want to laugh twice as much as if it were only ordinary citizens undergoing the same transformations."

Casey the cop is already one of the great comics.
