How the hell did the character get so viral? I’ve tried watching the skits several times to see if maybe I’m missing something, but for the life of me, I can’t seem to see it. Is everyone just biased because it’s Tom Hanks? Or is it actually hilarious, and I’m just struggling to understand the humor? Fall/Spooky season is my absolute favorite time of year, but am I just a buzz kill?
That went viral?
It’s about as funny as most SNL, which is pretty much not at all. You’d think they’d get teleprompters that were a little closer to the camera at some point so it wasn’t so fucking obvious that someone can’t remember a line like “Any questions”.
They don’t use prompters but paper cards and their reasoning is that the script changes up until the last minute but that doesn’t make any sense as it’s easier to update text on a computer than to rewrite a bunch of cards.
They are superstitiously stuck in their ways at SNL, now Lorne says he’s not going to retire so I don’t expect it to get any better.
Let’s see you do better.
