  • You are not a buzzkill, I think. This skit had a couple of things going for it:

    1. Halloween can always use more “mascots” and this is one.
    2. I admit that I originally didn’t like this skit, but my brother-in-law did, and I like him, so after watching it I always think of him until eventually it became something I genuinely liked.
    3. I quote lines from this skit to my SO all the time, so it’s become kind of embedded into my life.
    4. SNL during this time wasn’t very funny to me. I think that since SNL sucked during this time, even moderately funny skits ended up exploding in popularity just because they weren’t the usual onslaught of comedians stumbling over their lines and ruining jokes. Weekend Update was pretty funny, though.

    So in short, my friend, it’s not really funny. It was a moment, and you may have missed it. But let me say this, I think you’re cool for kicking off Spooky season…

    … Almost as cool as DaViD ESS pUmKiNs!
