What is dead may never die.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's that time of year

any questions?

 

[HStallion]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

 

[MadLaughter]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

I imagine that the people involved know that they have tough shoes to fill going into this, so I'm excited to see how they try and approach a followup.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

Wouldn't this be his 3rd appearance?

 

[Random Human]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

Yup...

 

[Fox318]

I'm still amazed the gag worked the first time.

 

[OnPoint]

 

[SunDimension24]

Wouldn't this be his 3rd appearance?

[Lord of Castamere]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

Not having him appear would be the best way of handling it. Not in general, but tease and hype only for him not to appear in the video.

It'll probably be a copycat that he kills at the end. Hopefully, it's more random than that though.

 

[Eidan]

Wouldn't this be his 3rd appearance?

Yes.

 

[smokeymicpot]

What is he even from a local commercial?

 

[DeathyBoy]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

I mean they beat the gag into the ground first time round and it was funnier at the end than the start.

 

[LakeEarth]

any questions?

YES! SEVERAL!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

It's SNL, the gag was driven into the ground halfway through the sketch.

 

[Sanjuro]

The skeletons are a part of it.

 

[Gnome Scat]

I still don't get it.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

I don't think the gag will work nearly as well a second time around.

I'm completely in the weeds about whether this will work again!

(I agree)

 

[kvothe]

I am amazed that people still remember or care about this sketch.

 

[captive]

I am amazed that people still remember or care about this sketch.

it was a pretty solid episode. This one was dumb funny.

But Tom Hanks playing jeopardy as a Trump supporter was classic.

 

[Amagon]

I still don't get it.

.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I feel like driving this one into the ground is like half the point of bringing it back to begin with. Like, that will be the joke.

 

[zma1013]

This is going to lead into a "David S Pumpkins Saves Halloween" television movie isn't it?

 

[Ragelink26]

I still don't get it.

He's his own thing

 

[Lijik]

is he going to team up with human puzzle Kevin Roberts?

 

[ladyluthien]

I love Tom Hanks.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

is he going to team up with human puzzle Kevin Roberts?

*BEEEEP*

Hola bitches! Kevin Roberts just got to first base with a LADY!

 

[sixteen-bit]

it was a pretty solid episode. This one was dumb funny.

But Tom Hanks playing Black Jeopardy as a Trump supporter was classic.

FTFY

 

[Netherscourge]

So...

Who is David S. Pumpkins?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

He's his own thing

I still don't get it.

 

[Aeana]

I still don't get it.

The skeletons are a part of it.

 

[jaypah]

This skit is still funny to me and it really, really, really shouldn't be at this point.

 

[HotHamBoy]

This the kind of typical SNL "above average" sketch where you have something genuinely funny (David S. Pumpkins) surrounded by a hole heap of unfunny shit (everything else in the sketch). Like, I don't need audience surrogates explaining to me that David S. Pumpkins is nonsense.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

This is going to lead into a "David S Pumpkins Saves Halloween" television movie isn't it?

Nah, it'll be a theatrical release.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

Whoa, Hanks got an Emmy nomination for hosting SNL?

I didn't know that was a thing.

 

[Darth Pinche]

This skit is still funny to me and it really, really, really shouldn't be at this point.

I think that is what makes it work. it shouldn't be funny, it can't be dumber, but it still makes you laugh.

 

[HotHamBoy]

I think that is what makes it work. it shouldn't be funny, it can't be dumber, but it still makes you laugh.

But that applies to all the other SNL sketches too, minus the laughing part.

 

[Nafai1123]

If the skeletons aren't part of it, is David S. Pumpkins still doing his own thing?

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

I think that is what makes it work. it shouldn't be funny, it can't be dumber, but it still makes you laugh.

I think it only works because of that big, dumb smile on Hanks face the entire time.

 

[Dalek]

If the skeletons aren't part of it, is David S. Pumpkins still doing his own thing?

Hey look, there's 100 floors of frights, they're not all going to be winners,

 

[-tetsuo-]

Without that ending this will be terrible

 

[GulAtiCa]

Lol, I missed the 2nd appearance.

I loved the 1st one. Yeah, it was beaten into the ground badly, but it was so over the top that is made it hilarious. Esp that ending. lol

 

[Guevara]

While we're at it I'd like Louis C.K. to do more about sectional couches.

 

[Aselith]

Without that ending this will be terrible

"Without the punchline, the jokes not funny"

Correct...

 

[Garlador]

I feel like I'm going crazy...

... for David Pumpkins.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I feel like I'm going crazy...

... for David Pumpkins.

That's David S. Pumpkins

 

[Vinsanity.]

I mean, it wasn't THAT funny...

 

[sixteen-bit]

I mean, it wasn't THAT funny...

Still makes me laugh tho

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I mean, it wasn't THAT funny...

agreed and he almost got an Emmy for it

I don't get it

 

[Tookay]

agreed and he almost got an Emmy for it

I don't get it

Any questions?
