The True Comedy

The all time greatest, number one, best scene in the Importance of Being Earnest, is just after both the men have been defrauded and Algernon consoles himself by promptly devouring all of the muffins in Jack's household. The dry British humor and witty turn of phrase turn every line in IoBE into a bubbly laugh-factory. "Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs"˿ the True Comedy.
