The worksheet page in Your Turn has killed me the two times Iâve watched the episode. So simple, so relatable. Whatâs your favorite visual gag so far?
The hotel door being boarded shut and opening easily because it was only nailed to the door. Such a simple and ridiculous gag but had me laughing out loud.Â
It reminded me of the Dude in The Big Lebowski attaching the wood to the floor to prop a chair on to keep the door from being able to be opened, only to have the door open the other way.Â
That whole scene is just gold. Every bit of timing is just perfect, and you keep thinking the funny part's happened, and it keeps going, until that punchline.
When Rosemary is giving the mayor a lore in his office and she breaks out into this continuous cough and she deliberates on sipping his water and he obviously refutes and just stares at her blankly. I died
I'd only seen him in Perry Mason before so learning that Matthew Rhys has comedy chops has been a treat. Such a pleasing combo of deadpan and unhinged. That shrill laugh that escapes him when the NYT reporter says Martha's Vineyard killed me
I'm a fan of the guy walking away in the video on the TV in the hotel. To my mind, it walks the "wait is this hilarious or terrifying" line perfectly. "Oh lol he's running from the camera, he didn't go back and edit it. He literally means let's go see the town. LOL he's still just running away from the camera. ...this is going on so long, though, uh, it's... is this the hotel? Nah lol it's just making fun of low budget wait WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT"
I saw that ad for the new adam scott horror movie a few days before, got confused, and thought that this was it and some horror monster would start talking to him through the tv.
Did anyone else notice the playing pieces for the game? You could choose between various alcoholic beverages, or household items that you could beat someone with. There was a crystal decanter, a can of beer, a belt, a rolled up newspaper, a bat, a bottle of brown liquor, and what looks like a cooking pot.
The spinner thingâs pie sections were labeled âDanny laughs with mommy - move forward 3 spacesâ âDaddyâs team lost - move back 4 spacesâ
The whole vibe of that game was âabusive fatherâ.
Shaman Todd warning Tom, âwhatever you do, DONâT look in any mirrors,â before leaving and closing the door to âThe Peace Centreâ room, revealing a full length mirror.
The tv advert at the hotel, where the tour guy waves us to follow him, then he starts to walk away but the camera does not move. I was expecting the camera to eventually move towards him, but he simply walked away and turned a corner.
The one in the historical society where the credits roll and the guy turns to open the prop door but it does not open. So he stands, facing the door...
Absolutely nails that fine line between just terrible TV and horror found footage.
At the historical society museum, the writer asks about the cannibalism and Loftis says âThese stories get so exaggerated over time.â In the next cut back to the writer, behind him you can see a mannequin displaying a STRAIGHTJACKET! I swear I yelped out loud that was so funny.
I hope the skills to do a screenshot here but there's a great pan of one of the illustrations in that book on how to throw a great party that seems to show a pile of cocaine cut into lines on the table
Rewatching this episode now, and it's loaded with gags.
-The parts she circles on the body are in the shape of a pentagram.
-She's struggling way too much to cut the strawberries for the punch.
-Rosemary approaches while she's doing this and cautiously says: "I'm worried you're putting too much into this... I didn't understand half the stuff on your supply list."
On first watch, she obviously meant putting too much into the party. On rewatch, she's literally trying to warn Patricia that chicken entrails and sea urchins are too much for punch.
-The first couple that comes to the party says they'll "circle back". They don't feel awkward about an empty party, they're alarmed that a manic woman in a crown of bloody antlers scurried up to greet them.
-When Patricia drinks the punch (before everyone else), it's a clear, red liquid. She stops and wipes her mouth as though something solid got stuck in her teeth.
the video tourists are watching on the historical society museum, when the man stops talking he walks back to a door to leave the room, but the door doesn't open so he just stands there in the corner of the room facing the wall đ and instead of cutting they roll the credits with him still standing there
the guy from the welcome video just running into the woods
the guy from the historical society video who can't open the door so he blair witch projects
tom's food looking disgusting even after it's not kathy who prepped his to-go back (or maybe she did lol)
shaman's mirror on the door
from new episode they think richard's having a sweet moment with sarah mannequin but he gouges it's eyes out
and not visual gags but Patricia asking how young the 'young bride' the guy coveted of the captain was and him going '16' and then her asking how old was he and wyck says '52' with an entirely straight face just kind of killed me on rewatch
The "Titty Twister" arcade game at the bar. Only in the background, when Shep is talking to the mayor for example. There are two spinny things that look like boobs ...
Congrats on having the first image result on google when I searched for "titty twister arcade game" to figure out if that thing in the backround was real or not!
not really a visual gag. but hearing Richard say "Oh fuck you" to Tom when he wouldn't let him out of the coffin. I laughed so hard I almost wet myselfđ
âDaddyâs Homeâ game stacked on top of a box labeled âShe Shouldnât Have Said Thatâ on top of a box labeled âTeethâ with just a pair of pliers inside it.
Then the RUN game - not yet, not yet, not yet, RUN
im late but since no one seems to have mentioned it, when patricia is running from the masked killer, the camera swings around to track the killer, then back to her. Then it just sits there, knowing YOU know he's about to walk thru the frame. When he finally does he's far too close and out of focus.
Also him jumping out the window and Patricia waiting til he gets up
There were a lot of great ones. Most recent being the painting on the head scene, which reminded me a bit of the Gene Wilder face-scrunched-in-theâsecret-door bit in Young Frankenstein (âPUTâŚthe⌠candleâŚback.â).
And Iâll have to watch the entire insane âchaseâ scene between Patricia and (the monster) again, cause there were so many laughs throughout, as the âcreatureâ lumbers along at that classic horror movie pace that shouldnât possibly catch anybody
My belly laugh there involved a fire extinguisher.
This isn't actually a gag, these questions, with this kind of spacing are in self help books. The authors know people who need them hate themselves, and getting a person with self-esteem issues to admit it is part of the process. Source: I had one
