    The writing on this is probably one of Joel's best written sketches, it's incredibly funny, Incredibly complex and very very clever. A dystopian world where very basic situations on earth are their Hollywood blockbusters, we don't know how high budget or low budget these films are, dax is nervous about playing something so simple (may i add, dax is incredible on this) , and the director has a deep struggling complex at home with his wife using dax to replay his trauma. Its just so so good how it all just subtly gels together. I can't ever stop watching this masterpeice

    "Imagine you haven't been able to club a boar for many years now, and fear that your best boar clubbing days are behind you. All you can do is mark time until the tribe gives you a gold watch, and pushes you out to sea on an iceberg full of other old ones."

      My party was recently at a wizards college hanging out in the dorms in the wee hours of the morning when a bunch of the students came in talking about their Offices and Operations session they finished. "I totally thought we were going to get written up when the boss showed up and we hadn't filed our form 293s." "Yeah, the way you slid the 293 cover sheet over the I-6 packet totally saved our jobs!"
