Brian David Gilbert from unraveled has like… intense John Mulaney in a suit vibes in that the suit adds substantially to the comedy
but where John Mulaney is the 1950s radio announcer that is like ‘I used to do hard drugs’ and it’s hilarious, Brian Gilbert is like your unhinged college professor tasked to get to the bottom of a conspiracy in the field against his will
like, you’re a little worried that the studio trapped him in there with some water and exactly one printer, but that’s just what needed to be done for the greater good.
and you know there’s been a huge breakthrough when he starts the stress-induced stripping, like shit has gotten real and the weight of the truth has lifted the jacked off him, and that is Peak comedy
if you drew a ven diagram of griffin mcelroy and john mullaney, brian david gilbert would be in the middle
I will now forever have Kingdom Hearts Explained flashbacks at the words “ven diagram” because I still can’t believe it’s actually called “ven diagram”
this is all your fault
