looks at the song's backstory. Warning, the photo that inspired the song is disturbing.
Ashton Kutcher is a classic silly dumb guy who was tired of being thought of as a silly dumb guy, so he became a serious guy in hopes that people would think he’s a serious smart guy, but really he’s just a serious dumb guy.
Sydney Sweeney reciting the entire Universal Studios tour guide script before Immaculate to prove she really did it as a job.
Apparently, Spielberg named the shark “Bruce” after his lawyer 😂
Love when Aaron Sorkin has a character respond to a question with “Did you ever hear the story about the mermaid and the goat?” and we hear the story and the first guy says “So, I’m a mermaid?” and the second says “No. You’re the goat.” And then we the audience are like oh shit
I lost my grandmother to Parkinson’s, it’s a horrible illness, and it’s very personal to me.

Why is Max a separate app from HBO Max? Surely they could have just made it an update so people wouldn’t be insanely confused during the transition, right? Patrick, you fool, trying to find logic in folly.
I think we can all agree that this is a much better promo format than the host talking to camera next to the musical guest and a random cast member while delivering a C+ joke to silence.

The joke is “Wouldn’t it be funny if Adam Driver’s monologue was just him fucking around and proving he‘s a chill guy.” All of it is written. The transphobic comment is a meta-commentary on sketch comedy’s history of putting men in dresses.
