    Him being behind the chair really convinced me he was in a dystopian world. This is a reference to the fact that Emperor Bezos would not allow his citizens to sit down in order to maximize their productivity and therefore the people of the future might not know what chairs are.

    @jokx4409 Год назад +48

    That whole pause to explain the skit ending is the best part of the whole video, that's where the comedy gold is, it's just so unexpected, such a MAJOR clash in tone you can't help but laugh, intentionally awkward while pretending it's not trying to be ("I know this is a weird way to end the skit") and yet it allows him to go deeper than he could've been without it. It also makes it seem like it's crucial for us to understand exactly what he's saying and that there were absolutely no other way to express this. He makes a valid point and it allows him to speak his thoughts clearly, etc. And then his explanation goes for too long compared to what it needed until it's ridiculous, and he cuts right when he's about to reach the point of no return of his hour-long rant.
