Initial point summary- Comedy film opening

A group of friends are  seriously discussing the crazy night partying they had last night, though with the excessive amounts of alcohol drunk, their stories are filled with superhero’s, aliens and the general surreal.
The scene would start with a close up shot of one of the friends shaky hands as they pick up a half empty glass of water. It then shows him drinking the water, and putting it down as someone else walks into the room. They begin a discussion about what happened the night before, as neither can really remember, though one is sure they remember a superhero partying with them, and the other is sure an alien was with them. They then argue about it, before calling in another friend, who claims they’re both wrong, and that the party ended in some sort of weird movie style surrealism, and that they ought to clear up their flat, though the others want to go and find out what really happened.
Five of the comedy film conventions I’d keep the same in this are the humorous exaggerations of characters and situations, have the scene aimed at more adult situations, satire, traditional representations of character types, and language used, however, I would change the way comedy films study institution or more serious topics.
