i think. ok. like. john mulaney and the mcelroys aren’t actually that funny in terms of their improv/the quality of their jokes. there are people with much better written comedy sets and funnier improv, but the way that they deliver what they say it what makes it good. they could read the back of a shampoo bottle and you’d feel like you just heard a joke

this is part of the reason john mulaney gifs aren’t nearly as funny as videos of him. you cant explain why his horse in a hospital bit is funny unless you’ve actually heard him say ā€œIT’S A ĤĤORSE. IN A H́OSPITALā€

can you believe after so many years of using french’s ā€œc’est la vieā€ because the nuance doesn’t translate, we’ve finally obtained a flawless translation with ā€œthat’s just the way it is on this bitch of an earth"Ā 

Thats ā€œit be like that sometimesā€ erasure

ā€œthat’s how it is on this bitch of an earthā€ is a line from act 1 of Samuel Beckett’s 1953 play Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot was originally written in French

French is better than any other language at expressing this sentiment apparently
