Check out my answer to your other Commedia question... same thing applies here. We all know that Quagmire will say, "Giggity giggity giggity" when he sees a pretty girl. He is a stock character just like Harlequin was in Commedia!

Excellent example Annie! And excellent point - We answered a very similar question that you asked yesterday. Check it out. If you understand the principles of Commedia, you'll find that you see its influences in many places, especially silly tv sitcoms.
