As a comic persona, misanthropy is as old as the hills. It’s effective because everyone is pissed off for large sections of their life, so they orgasm when they watch someone else in a similar mood. Why do people throng to films where the characters wipe out great swathes of the population with an Uzi? Probably because they are annoyed about having been stuck in traffic for the past month and their Subaru doesn’t come with an Uzi under the drinks-holder.
