hello! i'm not sure if you've seen this clip but
i am on a Disney semi-rabbit hole (which i don't approve of for myself, don't worry) and i just found the first 30 seconds of this interview hilarious.
it's like—he enjoyed the gig and did well at it (clips of him BTS are much more lively than these ones) but he just can't be arsed to be corporately passionate about it for promotional purposes.
My response to this is so fucking late, I'm so sorry my dear
Firstly, here's the video:
youtube
I also adore how much bullshit he's spewing out in these clips, and how he is actively to the camera's face saying that he's doing these as a promotional requirement. The bold faced lie of John watching The Lion King as a kid was also absolutely hilarious. (For background, The Lion King came out when I was a kid, and I'm fifteen years younger than John.)
I do like this quote from John, which is very much the ethos he pretends he has with comedy: "We tend to favor structure in lieu of having an emotional reaction to anything." Much like John claiming to be "allergic to sincerity", this isn't entirely an accurate view of himself.
Thank you for the ask <3

happy birthday :D hope u have a lovely day and lots of favourite food/beverage/both!!
i'll send more later if the braincell cooperates, but a favourite line is Efink Murderdeath's "shit indeed" (e1 i think). Efink Murderdeath's name is one of the best running gags in the history of comedy <3
also Lilith's dynamic with her children is the best. we stan villainous gentle parenting and coparenting in this evil fortress :')
thank you thank you!!
and YEAH. her first name is knife backwards. her last name is murderdeath. i've talked about trans efink before but that's truly the most trans shit i've heard in my life and i love that for her <3
and lilith!!! she's such a good mom!!! that bit at the end where she tries to send her kids away and jason and jessa insist on staying and helping her... ugh it kills me. they're family :'')
