Thinking about 'what if' scenarios is always fun, and when it borders on a conspiracy theory territory it's even funnier.

It's especially true when the sitcoms — the shows that have comedic premise — have people thinking about something darker lurking behind the seemingly cheerful facade.

Mixing comedy and tragedy together is quite logical — after all, even the Greeks many millennia ago decided that two were just the sides of the same mask.

So thinking about things that seem absurd at first but start making more and more sense as you delve deeper into the lore of the show and indulge in the proofs that the authors of the theory provide is extremely entertaining.

The contrast between the comedy and something darker is always vivid and makes the show stand out brighter during the rewatch when you have the context of any grim theory backed up by some evidence.

It adds an extra layer of entertainment, one that you definitely need if you are going to revisit a piece of media that you've already watched. It helps you pay attention to the details you skipped before and hum thoughtfully when you pick on them. Maybe we all are a figment of someone's imagination, too?
