I just don't get it, how tf is Jiminy Glick so highly regarded? Like the celebrities he interviews act like it's the funniest thing in the world when he interviews them. I get that he's impersonating a talk show host named Skip E. Lowe, but that doesn't make it funny.

I love Martin Short too, Ed Grimley meeting Tina Turner is one of the most underrated sketches in SNL's 50 year history.

It wasn't funny because Martin Short is a weird little sperg

Contrarian zoomer faggots.

Glick is objectively funny. You're retards.

>>213517388 (OP)
Not for everyone. I’ve certainly found that out when trying to show people these clips. I don’t know, humor might be subjective I guess?

>>213517388 (OP)
So what's his name, Skip E Lowe or Jiminy Glick?

>>213517388 (OP)
It’s funny because he’s insulting them to their face and all they could do is play it off and laugh because they’d look foolish getting mad at a fake Martin Short character. That was a great show, the skits were usually hit or miss (miss most of the time) but the interviews were comedy gold

McKean was great as his pretentious overly spraytanned bandleader too, they shoulda used him more in the show, he made the most of his little airtime

>>213517388 (OP)
He's funny as shit, especially the physical comedy like when he tries to sit in awkward positions while interviewing and lands on his face.

You have nobody to show these clips to. You also rely on other people's reactions to determine if something is funny or valuable, as if you have no agency whatsoever.
What caused you to end up like this?

Well here’s one of his best

Alcohol.

He's highly regarded because people think it's very funny. They think he's funny because he made them laugh at a higher rate per hour than other people

>>213517388 (OP)
The Ben Stiller one is great, what the fuck are you talking about?

All they had to do was talk shit about Martin short. People learned that about the Zach galafanacis show and he would melt once they fought back a little and it became so unwatchable.

Celebrities think it's funny because he's not just impersonating one dude, he's impersonating ALL interviewers. Celebrities get interviewed hundreds of times per year. It gets old quick and most of them all do the same tired shit, so getting a front-row seat to see someone take the piss out of interviewers and mock them is super cathartic.
