The fact that they wrote papyrus in comic sans is the finest detail

[hanasyslova]

The fact that this sketch ends with the word papyrus written in comic sans font is the true evil genius of whoever edited this and I can't believe people aren't talking about it more 😂

[starwarsbunker]

As an editor, I am aware of Papyrus font. Saw Avatar 2 a few days ago for the first time. When the in-movie subtitles popped up, I said "ah, papyrus" aloud without thinking much. My sister said to me "you saw the skit?" and I had no idea what she was talking about. Never saw it. Then she showed me it. Died of laughter. Absolutely brilliant.

“where do you even see this font?”
every middle school project on ancient egypt

[kikobbell]

you just KNOW that this sketch came about because it had been legitimately bothering one of SNL’s writers. this sketch is equal parts comedy and therapy

All those back after watching papyrus 2😄😄

Ken and Papyrus guy have got to be some of Ryan's best roles. He puts so much into being so grounded yet so eccentric

[MaybeAnnatar]

I will always love that Gosling acted his heart out in this one.

The comic sans logo at the end is perfection. Best SNL skit in years

[joshuasmith]

Best line: "Whatever they did, IT WASN'T ENOUGH!!"

That line is just asking to be memed

[kotchapakmaneechote]

Ryan Gosling's performance in this is stellar and hilarious as heck, that Comic Sans ending and that table flip is personal.

A guy behind me in the cinema muttered Papyrus to his friend when Avatar 2 was about to start and I was creasing with laughter

[darylmoon]

Steven Wingding brings this skit full circle. All time fave skits

[minseg]

The closing title "papyrus" written in COMIC SANS is a genius comedy nugget hidden in plain sight.

[chrisfitch]

“Well whatever they did… it wasnt… ENOUGH!!”
A single line worthy of a thousand Oscars.

The best part is, the person who did this is out there. They've seen this video. Their friends have seen this video. Their co-workers have seen this video. The person who approved their work has seen this video. And that person has called them and asked, "have you seen this video?".

never gets old. possibly the best sketch of all time.

I teach typography at a university. This is a “must-see” for every student. Brilliantly acted and brilliantly written.

[jackofalltrades]

I love that the papyrus font at the end is in comic sans.

Ryan's acting + the cinematic production made this feel like a film.
