I spent half of this week's subway rides trying to get "Lucas With The Lid Off" out of my head. Wonder how many others are suffering from the same.

Almost every Kroll Show sketch seems to be a completely on-the-nose parody of some genre of reality show, and the humor of a lot of them revolves around Kroll doing bad ethnic or drag schtick.

i read that as them suggesting that there's likely gonna be a CULTURE WAR (or RACE WAR, i dunno) so you should put your stuff in storage so it doesn't get damaged in the forthcoming riotsthose fucking ads tend to be very knowing and batshit

saw another one of those anxious "you're a real new yorker" ones from grubhub the other day. something like "calling the restaurant is like walking behind slow tourists."

im not sure what's worse, that or the equally anxious "im just too *real* to buy into the new york thing so i'm leaving" essays that pop up once in a while.
― ryan, Tuesday, 11 February 2014 18:48 (ten years ago) link
I think the former is worse. It's 10x more pervasive anyway.

God, I hate the storage ones (not typically on subway tho) that are like ''trying to raise kids in an NYC apartment is like trying to grow a tree in a thimble!'' Which maybe is supposed to be a chuckle for all us folks struggling to raise kids but it just seems like snobbery from people raised in giant suburban homes. Like, no, dickhead, growing a tree in a thimble is an absurdity, and raising kids in a New York apartment is something that happens all the time.
I assumed the French Aristocracy one was just like ''we're a REVOLUTION in storage!'' but I'm now leaning towards the forks reading.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 11 February 2014 22:07 (ten years ago) link
wait the French Aristocracy one isn't an oblique uranium backpack 9/11/17 premonition?
― action bronson pinchot (sanskrit), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 02:30 (ten years ago) link
When I saw this one I honestly thought they were suggesting you raise your kids in a storage box rather than an apartment, because their storage is so big.
― pariah newsletter (seandalai), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 15:58 (ten years ago) link
I knew what they meant but I didn't think it was very well thought out -- it sounds like an ad for moving to the suburbs rather than for storage.
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 16:39 (ten years ago) link
I think it means "you have all this kid junk filling your apartment now so you'll need to store some things to make room" but it vaguely pisses me off when I see it
the French Aristocracy one is just incoherent

But yeah it's hard to understand who it's aimed at or what the purpose is. Youtube is like a near monopoly on internet video content as it is, is it not?
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 6 May 2014 02:04 (nine years ago) link
Again, they're informing us that youtube stars are FAMOUS. it's a publicity campaign for "what youtube can do" to get kids to post content in the hopes that they too will become FAMOUS

God the smirky duckface cupcake is the worst. The only thing that cancels that out is the arid unrelenting blankness of Lucas, evading her gaze, shutting down the whole situation by his casual relationship to his own totalitarian presence.
