obviously quite funny, but honestly really impressed with how the line between tragedy and comedy here is woven so effectively and thoughtfully, a feat that’s remarkably hard to achieve and nothing short of emotionally/personally really striking
there are a few audiences for this one, some of which overlap I’m sure
1. young female fans with an insane parasocial relationship to him and his personal life
2. general comedy nerds who are also, more often than not, annoying
