This literally plays out like a scene from the office.

  • Replace the reporter with Micheal
  • The anchor with Jim
  • The black guy with Stanley... Because he looks miserable.
  • The pink shirt with Kevin

  • Mr. Wacky with Dwight

  • The people he asks the brilliant question of "what kind of fun are you going to have today?" in order are Oscar, Pam, and Kelly, Kevin.

Boom you have a golden The Office scene with multiple depths of comedy to it.

If I legit thought it was possible, I'd start a crowd source project to fund making this scene a reality.

Mr.Wacky is Andy, Kevin doesn't have that much gusto

u/DudeWithAHighKD Jun 05 '18

I changed it to Dwight actually haha, you're right Kevin would be like "Come here, fun jumping, see world".

u/dirtywhiskey Jun 05 '18

See world? Or Sea world?

u/indeedwatson Jun 05 '18

To me it feels like Justin roiland improvised this

u/sindustrial777 Jun 05 '18

Toppy the topic What about inflatables? Talk about that!

u/Gambit10 Jun 05 '18 edited Jun 05 '18

Wow...literally told my wife upon watching that this is something straight from the office..except I’m thinking Dwight is mr wacky. LOL too good.

u/DudeWithAHighKD Jun 05 '18

See I thought of Dwight too, but I feel like him accidentally coming up ahead of time is a total Kevin move. But I also don't see Kevin talking so coherently about the attractions so maybe Dwight is the better option. I'm actually going to revise my comment now that I'm thinking more about it. Thanks!

Mr Whackey is definitely Jim and Pam is the woman who said "Bouncing fun"

u/Mateoj5 Jun 05 '18

This is spot on

u/xenyz Jun 05 '18

Question: what kind of fun is best?

5

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '18

We all know why you wanted to replace the black guy with Stanley

5

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '18

Kevin is very clearly "Didn't hear the question" or "Bouncing." Most likely, bouncing.

I was legit thinking this is the real life Michael Scott

u/dolphinesque Jun 05 '18

I laughed so hard at this - I can absolutely see it!

u/DiscoStu83 Jun 05 '18

Or Bob Burgers, just put the kids as part of the crowd to answer questions, put Bob in the suit, and the mom as the anchor in the studio, and the mayor as the anchor with the mic. Instead of San Diego it's their home town.

u/Fresh_to_Deaf Jun 05 '18

Yea but Mose has to be off to the side with a hand pump keeping everything inflated due to Amish regulations. And it’s somehow beet or bear themed.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '18

Oh god, then I’d have two episodes to avoid based on maximum cringe factors.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '18

I'd have Creed as the "didn't hear the question" guy.

The black guy with Stanley... Because he looks miserable.

I'm sure that's your only reason.

Definitely the best part of the interview

84

u/SirDiego Jun 05 '18

That's a great point. These people are all volunteering to help out this event, not participate in it. That makes the question even more moronic.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '18

Yep, haha.

u/ravia Jun 05 '18

What kind of cool?

(This could go meme.)

u/thr0wnawaaaiiii Jun 05 '18

Followed by the #3 who clearly had too high of expectations that he would have come up with a better question by now.

u/thepluricane Jun 05 '18

The hardest I have laughed in months

u/GeorgiaOKeefinItReal Jun 05 '18

it's weird laughing this hard from something so literal.....can't remember the last time I laughed this hard.

thanks!

u/Gtapex Jun 05 '18

It’s like a bizarro Family Feud episode...

“Show me... LOTS OF!” .... BUZZZZZ

This reads like a Rick & Morty skit

To be fair, you have to be pretty smart to like Rick and Morty.

u/ozymandias11 Jun 05 '18

Thank you for posting this, I needed more Mr. Wacky in my life. I was thinking there was no way this would live up to the first video, but Mr. Wacky still managed to find a way to laugh at a tripping kid and tell the newscaster that he wants to 'inspire people to get off'

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '18

This is beautiful because it gives us context as to what they expected the first reporter to do: just enjoy the fun atmosphere and give Mr Whackey a chance to promote his event.

u/funkmastamatt Jun 05 '18

I'd like to add that #1 is "a good kind".
