      In a newspaper (yes, I still read them online) interview hawking their book, Keegan-Michael Key and Elle Key too said this is the best sketch comedy routine of all time. For me, it's Chris Elliott's characters on Letterman together with Letterman's annoyed responses. The more austere the set, the better the comedy - think Honeymooners.

People here seem to have credited the editing, set, etc. But I think this sketch is 100% about timing and all the credit goes to Cross, Odenkirk and Starburns. Anyways, I laughed and that's the acid test.

    Could anyone tell me if the idea for this sketch comes from Mr.show or if it's a version of a sketch with an even older origin? Let me explain, I'm Italian and some Italian comedians have re-proposed this identical sketch in an adapted Italian version, and I thought it was the result of their brilliant mind...but instead now I discover this from many years ago! So I was wondering if there really is an "original" version, and if so who is the original author who has inspired so many comedians (all over the world, not just in Italy, I know of a Russian version of this sketch more or less also that of the 90s)... but at this point I would like to go even further back and understand who the original brilliant mind is who staged it for the first time in history

  • @PromptStreamer
    @PromptStreamer Месяц назад +2

    I love how meta this skit is. I actually think it counts as “infinitely-meta”. It doesn’t just have one layer that replicates a layer below. It technically has infinite, like when you put two mirrors facing each other. On level 0, an actor comes into an audition and performs something. He performs an actor coming into an audition and performing something. But there is always room for another nested level: the actor he performs as is performing as another actor in another audition. And that actor could also be performing as an another actor performing in an audition.
    It’s honestly really interesting stuff if you study mathematical logic. One reason is that the lower levels are indistinguishable from the higher levels. It’s like there’s a “limit at infinity” where all the layers seamlessly superimpose on each other and become indistinguishable. You can kind of come full circle to then interpreting it as there only being one single level, unifying infinite identical levels.
