TW: Child abuse, sexual abuse. Dwayne Johnson has incredible charisma and he puts it to great use here. If you watch this sketch, you basically never have to watch Venture Brothers or Robot Chicken because The Rock does every one of their jokes better. It’s outstanding.
And evil. It's literally evil.
9. Teacher Fell Down (2018)
This isn’t just a stupid skit; it’s peak stupid skit. It’s so fucking unintelligent. So pointless. It defies expectations in that it has no jokes. Just when you think it’s going to get on track and give us a setup/punchline it just keeps being smart as rocks.
It’s a monument to Kate McKinnon’s ability to carry a skit based on nothing but pure Kate-McKinnonness. I couldn't just put "Kate McKinnon" on this list, but Teacher Fell Down is her Alesia. See also: Casablanca, all of 2016 when she played Hillary Clinton, and that 1-800-flowers one.
Man, falling in love is hard. No matter how minimalist someone acts, there are a hundred things that are required for them to open up, relax, and truly let a good thirty-minute comedy into their hearts. Community did that for me and in a move bolder than my character implies, I took the chance on Last Man On Earth.
Will Forte was a big help. I loved him on SNL and...yeah, okay, just SNL, but her was really, really good on it. I wanted to see more on him (just shy of watching MacGruber). I mean, he's another white guy at the center of a network show, but he can do the work.
Ah, The Spider, come in. I’ve been told so much about you.
That’s nice to hear. Thanks for seeing me; I’m looking forward to working for your lab.
Tell me a little about yourself.
I’ve got doctorates in physics, engineering, biology, and mathematics. I was Head of Research in Denver University’s Biology Department for seven years. I was Interim Dean of Sciences for six months. I ran my own research company for ten years. I’m UNITY certified. And I am widely regarded as a ruthless shadow of the night who prowls the rooftops of my city as a merciless spirit of vengeance.
Thank you. Can I ask you, as an unholy abomination of man and arthropod, can you make an antidote for your own poison…if you bite yourself by accident?
I’m…not poisonous.
Theoretically.
Theoretically, yes. Provided I had enough remaining venom to use as a basis.
Can you spin a web? If so, of what size or sizes?
I don’t do Spider-Man jokes.
I understand. If you used the teleporting device of Seth Brundle, but there was a common house spider in there with you, would you become half spider, half man-spider or would it not make much difference at all?
According to the movie, half my DNA would be overwritten with that of the spider, so yeah probably. Are we going to talk about my qualifications as a biologist, an engineer, and an administrator?
I’m sorry, the remainder of the interview will consist of The Spider questions. Now, are you attracted to spider women or human women?
Neither, I guess; male spiders often put their seed into a tiny web, which they then move to their pedipalps, which they then inject into the female’s genital opening.
So, what about a human woman who was wearing a fake spider vagina? Would you put your seed web into that?
Would you have sex with a monkey that had a human vagina?
This interview isn’t about me. What about The Outlaw?
The shapeshifting super-criminal with delusions about being my arch-nemesis?
What if you were somewhere, say a club or a bus stop or something, and there was a beautiful red head there giving you the eye.
…uh-huh…
She offers to have sex with you, but you think she might be The Outlaw.
Why? Can I tell she’s a meta or something?
No. You’re just feeling paranoid that day.
I don’t know. It’s hard to say.
She guarantees it will be the best sex of your life, and you’ll never know if it was The Outlaw or not.
I don’t know…yeah, I guess. If I’d never know.
It was The Outlaw.
Aw, c’mon!
It was The Outlaw. Deal with it. What’s spider porn like?
Pretty hot, but remember that depending on the species, the female will liquify and drink the male after.
Fair enough. When people dress in spider costumes and have sex, are they still called furries?
I don’t know.
Because you have those little hairs on your legs.
I…still don’t know.
That’s all the questions I have for you today. Thank you for coming.
