the original draft was something like a larper going “yeah no i already mastered the stairs lil bro, good luck on your fitness journey though”
and in an even better world he walks off and does the most insane bullshit you’ve ever seen
haha i dunno, i don’t think i’m ready to do anything like master the stairs, i’m still pretty new to this….. 😅 is there like a stairnovice or something?
like basically you will never see cameron diaz say “we, of course” and picture her going down a slide there
but you can easily picture a frustrated guy who is baffled by someone not knowing his favorite movie at all
you only need a little mental nudging to that sense of “you haven’t seen this classic!?!?” to someone who couldn’t care less (compare “we, of course” to a joke about a slide)
but then the sigh at the end? tell me you wouldn’t sigh if someone didn’t know lupita! it’s brilliant.
i have watched this on loop numerous times the last few days, and i’m still genuinely in awe….
they couldn’t let this post flourish because its power would destroy the ecosystem of recontextualization humor
like……………… most of them (esp many of mine) need obscene stretches to get the joke off, but even the good ones can get the joke easily without considering the tone
obvi the show’s context is serious but their tone is close enough to an exasperated conversation about a film
