i think it’s hilarious how the sketch starts with a room full of normal people with 1 weirdo but by the end it’s a room full of weirdos with 1 normal person
The actor playing the old man in this is Ruben Rabasa - an experienced veteran actor who has been in tons of stuff since the late 70s. He does normally have an accent, but he's playing it up even more than usual for this sketch. He's fantastic and steals the show of the whole series for good reason - his comic timing is impeccable.
I love how Paul just keeps saying that he didn’t flinch. And doesn’t dispute the idea that if he did flinch that it means he has to marry his mother-in-law.
A truly iconic sketch and I like the details they include for the deep lore nerds like how Paul definitely flinches when the bottle gets flipped and he's the only one to do so so it's pretty obvious he loves his mother in law and he himself admit it
It's been over a month now. I'll bet Paul is going to bed every night with his mother-in-law next to him and thinking, "Why, oh why, did I flinch when he landed that bottle?"
I think my favorite thing about this show is that more than half of the sketches veer wildly off course from their initial premise due to a surreal changes in social dynamics or circumstances. This skit is a prime example of that part of the show.
BINGO. It's absolute comic genius. The mood changes often with music, then veers into the most glorious non-sequitur promised land imaginable. Counting the minutes to Season 2.
@@brandongratta9040 my dad introduced me to this show and used that very sketch as an example of "scripts that are too weird to be anything but improv"
this guy was 81 years old when he did this role and it was the biggest he ever had up to that point. 40 years of acting roles leading up to this. long live Ruben Rabasa, my man.
I love how the bottle flip was the deciding factor that makes everybody lose their shit. "HE LANDED IT AND YOU FLINCHED, YOU HAVE TO MARRY YOUR MOTHER IN LAW!!!!"
@@ErvinJRoss haha oh hi! That must’ve been so fun to be a part of. And I wasn’t kidding. Your line was so subtle but adds to the comedic effect big time.
@@ErvinJRoss Ruben and Tim are the best at strange. That would’ve been awesome. Anything funny in particular you can share? I’m Ryan from Canada by the way
@@ryandelong6041 Nice to meet you Ryan! Fun story from set: When Ruben is supposed to say "I can't think because he keeps farting" he did not say that on the first take. The first take he said: I can't think because Paul fucks twice!" Everyone in the room loses it!
How any cast member was able to keep their composure during the filming of this skit (or any of this series) is truly a superhuman gift. I clutch my stomach in soundless, glorious pain from laughing every time I watch it. Unbelievable.
I think my favorite part after watching a hundred times is right at the end Ruben Rabasa's facial expression changes every time the camera angle changes while he flips the bottle
I laughed so hard at 2:23 when Tim yells “Yeah because he landed it and you flinched you have to marry your mother in-law!” This show is very promising
somehow, despite the fact that this sketch is full of adults discussing a product that is only usable by adults, Tim Robinson managed to perfectly encapsulate sixth graders and I’m here for it
IM SO HERE OF FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somewhere there is a guy named Paul who works in automobile design and someone from his office sends him this video cued to 1:59 every day. I bet they get really creative with disguising the link.
Some elements that makes this sketch ABSURDLY funny to me: -The old guy's accent -His DISRESPECT for Paul -"If this steering wheel fly off im TOAST" -Paul's face at 1:34 -The Mother in law joke being kinda actually funny and making some people laugh at his spontaneity -Paul's face again 1:48 -old man's facial expressions -"You probably love your mother in law" said by an INSANE man from europe is just hilarious. He sounds like a tv show character. Absolutely chaotic good
I am so obsessed with the details in this sketch. The pictures of some random early-2000's cars in the back for this cutting-edge car development survey ... absolute gold.
It is so, so funny that Tim plays a normal character in this, but as soon as everyone starts bullying Paul he immediately joins in on being unhinged. "The bottle made you flinch so now you have to marry your mother in law, Paul!!!"
An old man with ridiculous ideas puts everyone off at first until he bullies someone else and becomes popular with the other members of the group as they don't want to be targeted next. **US national anthem starts playing softly in the background**
I agree, that actor, Ruben Rabasa , is on-fire funny in this sketch, and is literally the focus of why it's so funny... But I looked up his other acting work, and since then, I can't help but wonder if his humor here is mostly rooted in his hilarious playing up a flamboyant and kind of clueless immigrant stereotype...? He speaks with the same, thick Cuban accent in all the other scenes I've seen him act in. And looking at the lines he says, there's so much less humor to me without his archetypal and theatrical delivery of stilted English... I love how the whole focus room rallies behind his crazy ideas in the end, but I can't tell if his behavior reinforces a negative stereotype of immigrants, or if it, in fact celebrates them? Is it a bit of both, a celebration and a mockery of flamboyant, clueless immigrants? Is that possible? I just wonder how the director directed his humor, and if they encouraged this stereotype out of him at all...
This is exactly how charismatic individuals rise to the heights of power and influence. The mudder-in-law has been a scapegoat for too long! Justice for the mudder-in-law!
The turning point is the joke he makes about designing a car with not enough space for your mother in-law. They laugh at it but Paul continues being a "teacher's pet" and then the dynamic changes
The sheer confidence to go for the second flip only speaks to this mans true power.
Actors do multiple takes. I don't think you understand that.
@@OmegaRedFan Wow, over 150 thumbs up before we found someone who does not understand the concept of a joke.
He dabbed preemptively too...
@@OmegaRedFan shutup paul
It was at that moment he truly had to marry his mother in law
The way he says "oh nice" gets me every time.
YES! And I UH STANBYEE
I quote it constantly and no one ever gets it lmao
For me it's the point where he points at Paul and says "Teacher's pet"
And when he says “he admit it”
I still say "oh nice" And chuckle to myself, alone.
i think it’s hilarious how the sketch starts with a room full of normal people with 1 weirdo but by the end it’s a room full of weirdos with 1 normal person

This is true Roldy, Roldy this is very true!
I’m forcing my friends through sheer repetition. Hopefully it works but I think it’s a good idea and I stand by it.
I understand you. And in a way, I'm kinda your best friend now.
I have played it so many times, my wife is reciting it in my face, but we replace "car" with "......" ideas.
It’s my favourite sketch in years
When Tim's playing the straight guy, you know it's about to go off the rails
EVERY time
😂
I love how Paul just keeps saying that he didn’t flinch. And doesn’t dispute the idea that if he did flinch that it means he has to marry his mother-in-law.
yeah well he knew the stakes going in
His first concern doesn't go to how ridiculous it is, but to the fact that he's losing social standing. This shit is heavy.
Yes I love how in this show all adults immediately ascribe to playground rules for everything
Everyone jumps on the crazy train.
Well he’s educated

I have to practice the bottle flip so I can be prepared for future meetings at work.
“Marry your mother-in-law, come on”
I never noticed before that Paul never actually says his name? The old guy just goes “Shut up, Paul” and everyone rolls with it

@@yessir.7937 yeah, I didn't think it was funny at all, until that very brief moment the OP mentioned, It made me slightly chuckle.

The seductive way he says: “You probably love your mother-in-law …”
I think the best part for me is the dab that the old man hits for absolutely no reason at all
The little hand gesture he does is so good at 0:44.
The calm “marry your mother-in-law Paul “ always gets me.
Marry your mother in-law. Come on.
Somewhere there is a guy named Paul who works in automobile design and someone from his office sends him this video cued to 1:59 every day. I bet they get really creative with disguising the link.
"I cannot think any good car ideas because this guy *keep farting*!"
"Ok, let's just try and focus on the car"
The look Ruben gives right after
this old man is A GENIUS. I laughed so freaking hard.
ok, just learned his name is ruben.
“Oh nice!”
Gets me every goddamn time.
Some elements that makes this sketch ABSURDLY funny to me:
-The old guy's accent
-His DISRESPECT for Paul
-"If this steering wheel fly off im TOAST"
-Paul's face at 1:34
-The Mother in law joke being kinda actually funny and making some people laugh at his spontaneity
-Paul's face again 1:48
-old man's facial expressions
-"You probably love your mother in law" said by an INSANE man from europe is just hilarious. He sounds like a tv show character. Absolutely chaotic good
The exaggerated dab before the bottle flip kills me everytime
The editing on this is perfection. At 0:56 it cuts to the old man in mid-sentence for a split second for no reason.
"Alright, maybe we should lay off Paul."
(Two seconds later, laughs loudly at joke at Paul's expense)
Makes you wonder what he meant by "lay off"...
The acting of the woman next to Paul is the secret ingredient elevating this sketch
Paul Sucks!! His car would probably have a steering wheel that slips out of his hands when driving
Is that what the genius old man was saying? I thought he was talking about a steering wheel that flies out of the car, never to be found again.
Uh no. You got it wrong. I’d be embarrassed and delete that comment.
it fly off and you toast.
TEACHERS PET!
He probably already married his mother in law and farts in the car next to her.

I like how he dabs. It's a good gesture. It should be brought back
The way his body shakes and voice cracks when he says, “you flinch PAUL!” kills me every time
The fact that his facial expression changed with every single "replay" of the final flip is what gets me.
The old man's lines are like a Mad Lib written by a 7-year-old

The cybertrucks design makes so much more sense now 😂
This is the best thing that has ever been created in my 34 years on earth, and before it. Sorry Beatles, you probably love your mother in law

Love this behind-the-scenes look at Tesla’s design team
Everyday I uncover a new layer in this sketch
I love how Paul agrees if you hit the bottle flip and you flinch you have to marry your mother in law, his only argument is that he didn’t flinch.
Tim has a bunch of sketches about the weirdo rising above by pinning everyone against someone else. It's politics 101
