Best! Movie! Idea! Ever!
Ham was an ordinary, middle-class, white-ish 17-year-old in Middle America. He was insanely brilliant but otherwise unremarkable.
Ham loved stand-up comedy, worshipped standup comedy. Ham noticed that many comedians aimed most of their jokes around a (society perceived) negative aspect of themselves. Nobody ever dissed them for their “negative aspect”. (A lot of comedians start their night with an acknowledgement of how they look).
He decided to study the art of comedy, while transforming into a black-fat-trans-Jewish socialist who wears clothes really badly.
A decade later and Ham is the most famous person in the world. While his comedy wasn’t ground-breaking, it was self-deprecating on so many levels that nobody dared dislike him.
How badly he/she wore clothes become the biggest social media discussion ever.
Then, because he thought about it for ages and was a genius, decided to charge major fashion houses a fee to never wear their clothes.
Ultimately it was a protection racket, and each fashion house on their own decided to remove Ham from the equation.
From being on-top-of-the-world, Ham is suddenly a heavy, unfit, billionaire not-street-savvy target of the assassins from 100 corporations. Reverse Battle Royale.

Movie chronology:
a. Fat, sweating desperate Ham surrounded by assassins.
b. the journey from teen to his first hit comedy special
c. legal battle to charge for not wearing something
Repeat. a,b,c,a,b,c… until each reaches its climax – defeating assassins, brilliant joke at the end of the comedy special, and winning court case in a very PC way.

Defeating the assassins is suddenly an Ocean’s 11 type story, because we forgot that earlier on we knew he was a genius. Everything pre-planned and engineered.
This is the everything movie. Action, social commentary, comedy, (throw something quirky in) and an almost negligible romance, plus drugs, sex, politics etc.

And then the shock twist. He defeats the 100 assassins and becomes the most evil dictator of all time. Lesson learned people, don’t accept the odd ones. Or not?
Think Big Momma’s House x John Wick, but serious and social commentary (x Joker)
