Dynasty was already taken...
Definitely a Fargo "based on a true story" is the way to go. I also like the idea of expanding real life events to absurdity.
For example:
Dad decides to give Conor K a fishing rod, but when he opens it finds out it's dynamite. I expect a gag like this needs the setting to moved to Heuston, TX. Bringing home a dolphin and cooking it features somewhere. A culture clash gag would work here, with Dad being a southern patriarch and Conor K being a Yankee.
(To adapt and steal from Neil Gaiman) this might happen:
"I read the various drafts of the script as they came in, pointed out when they were getting too far away from our lives, pointed out when they were moving even further away from our lives, and, finally, enthusiastically agreed with the powers that be when they decided that the movie script had got so far from our lives that it would be best for everyone if the movie's characters weren't called The Murnanes, the film wasn't called Pedigree and we took our toys back and started again..."
Despite this, I am thinking about pitching it as "The Royal Tenenbaums only coarser, faster and funnier."
Definetly not a gross out comedy. Broad yes, Gross no.
