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?

    Nah, I’m a longtime fan of absurd shit like Tim and Eric that is rooted heavily in a public television vibe of “doing things wrong and cheaply.”

    I was never sure if this was trying for a similar vibe or what, but I’m definitely one of the people who firmly never understood it.

      Me as well. I crack up at nonsense type comedy like the eric andre show, and imo this snl skit is just plain unfunny
