you just KNOW that this sketch came about because it had been legitimately bothering one of SNL’s writers. this sketch is equal parts comedy and therapy
I watched Avatar 2 yesterday. And they used papyrus FOR SUBTITLES!
@@feykro222 james cameron doubles down on papyrus because of this skit. LOL
I just learned that this was written by Julio Torres, who went on to become one of the co-creators of the show "Los Espookys" with Ana Fabrega and Fred Armisen.
@@feykro222 james cameron you absolute mad man
@@feykro222 There was an interview with James Cameron about this skit. He said when he watched it he told the crew "you know what this means, we got double down, everything is going to be papyrus"
“where do you even see this font?”
every middle school project on ancient egypt
well they wrote texts on papyrus. so...
why would he be looking at middle school projects on ancient egypt
@@undscvr why wouldn’t you
Guilty as fuggin charged.
@@undscvr why have i seen like 30?
The fact that this sketch ends with the word papyrus written in comic sans font is the true evil genius of whoever edited this and I can't believe people aren't talking about it more 😂
I've watched this so many times and I didn't notice that 😲 Absolutely brilliant
😅😅😅
I noticed, just didn't think that was the funniest thing about an SNL movie trailer with Ryan Gosling in it acting his ass off.
It’s the Best Part! It’s just chef’s kiss. I wish SNL was still this funny…
@@Ifailedeverything it's totally a cherry on top of a great sketch
All those back after watching papyrus 2😄😄
it's just such an amazing sequel....
Here!!!!
Didn't realize just how unhinged he looked in the second one until I came back to watch this one😂
You can’t beat the first iteration, I don’t think the sequel matches it imo
@@tlangdale1 sure, but the second one is a lot of fun
Ryan acted the shit out of that.
Bill Murray said the secret to SNL is not to be funny, but to be a great actor. Some of the funniest people, like Chris Rock, were the worst on the show.
I don't know. If it were me I wouldn't have to act. That's me in real life haha
Sup yep. Great comedic actors are not trying to be funny... whether it's on SNL or elsewhere. They treat the acting work in the same way they'd treat a drama. :)
@@SheaDepmore That's likely why this came across as so believable. Even if you didn't care about the font....I found his consuming passion endearing
Nah, they just said they were gonna get some b-roll of him living his normal life and this happened.
I will always love that Gosling acted his heart out in this one.
He naturally acts whichever role he plays
It reminds me of a real trailer for a moody mystery movie where a guy is hunting for his sister that vanished or something.
"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!"😂
“It wasn’t ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!“ 😂
It reminds me of his role in Fractured. I don't want to give spoilers but you will see it. It's a fav movie.
As an editor, I am aware of Papyrus font. Saw Avatar 2 a few days ago for the first time. When the in-movie subtitles popped up, I said "ah, papyrus" aloud without thinking much. My sister said to me "you saw the skit?" and I had no idea what she was talking about. Never saw it. Then she showed me it. Died of laughter. Absolutely brilliant.
lol that's hilarious. Love it when stuff like that happens
On behalf of Steven: "Right!!!Thank you!!!"
You're a liar and a thief
Omg… it happened… AGAIN
PAPYRUS 2
th-cam.com/video/Q8PdffUfoF0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x93_2928X4WZbP11
Avatar 2 logo is Papyrus in bold
Ken and Papyrus guy have got to be some of Ryan's best roles. He puts so much into being so grounded yet so eccentric
Did you notice that Kate McKinnon (weird Barbie) is in this too lol
Every Ryan Gosling role is his best role.
A place beyond the pines.
He plays it completely straight. That’s what makes it so good.
I think The Notebook is his best role but whatever suits you ig
The comic sans logo at the end is perfection. Best SNL skit in years
I know its not the case but i like to think of this as an undertale skit cause it fits so well
They didn't even use papyrus to to write papyrus 😂
Nothing has ever come close
It featured primarily men, that's why
@@KokoTheGorilla69 looks like your mouth features primarily dookie
A guy behind me in the cinema muttered Papyrus to his friend when Avatar 2 was about to start and I was creasing with laughter
When I was watching the film I noticed they kept the Papyrus font for the Na'vi language-translated subtitles, holding my laughter during these moments was difficult 😂
I don't see movies with people, but I am going to have to take "a friend" to Avatar 2 at the budget theater.
I'm laughing at "creasing with laughter"! 🤣
What the fuck is creasing?
@@MinorityRespecter88 if you're from England as I am, you may sometimes describe uncontrollable laughter as creasing. Hope this helps! 👍
Best line: "Whatever they did, IT WASN'T ENOUGH!!"
That line is just asking to be memed
When a studio adapts something beloved by its fans, but it's just mediocre at best:
Biggest meme material is the "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!"
It. Wasn't. KENOUGH
Ryan Gosling's performance in this is stellar and hilarious as heck, that Comic Sans ending and that table flip is personal.
YES, the comic sans killed me dead 😂 so happy someone else noticed
I just watched thru to the end, omg that was fricking brilliant...
SNL Santa Baby with Gosling is first rate also
I always wonder how you guys can tell the font name by looking at it, its impressive
@@miralabualjadail4206 When CERN scientist announced that they had found the Higgs Boson, they used Comic Sans, and nobody took them seriously.
The fact that they wrote papyrus in comic sans is the finest detail
Oh and when they were scrolling through fonts it stopped at WingDings for second
What about 'pUNKASSBITCH' font? How people forget ...
I'm ashamed of myself for not noticing that.
I’m literally laughing at this comment
@@demetriushiscox944 it's all connected
“Well whatever they did… it wasnt… ENOUGH!!”
A single line worthy of a thousand Oscars.
Real big drama and conflict there! I would have taught that in cinema schools
Literally!
Kenough!
You mean it wasn't Kenough
LOLLLL@@kavyasingh2309
Steven Wingding brings this skit full circle. All time fave skits
This one is much better.
The closing title "papyrus" written in COMIC SANS is a genius comedy nugget hidden in plain sight.
One of Gosling's best roles.
It's a shame that he didn't win an EGOT for this role alone.
It really is. My favorite snl skit. He acted the shit out of that role.
He’s a real human bean
@@alexstark9071 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's literally me frfrfrfr
The best part is, the person who did this is out there. They've seen this video. Their friends have seen this video. Their co-workers have seen this video. The person who approved their work has seen this video. And that person has called them and asked, "have you seen this video?".
knowing how much control J Cameron has over everything on the film, it's probably him who choose de font.
If I were to guess what happened, Papyrus was probably used as a placeholder in drafts, storyboards, e-mails, etc. When time came to come up with an original font, Cameron and the graphic designer probably agreed that the Papyrus font already worked well, after trying some different designs. Perhaps they thought it would be funny or ironic to use a standard MS Office font for the world's most expensive movie, too. Papyrus is not a bad font though, in terms of shape, it gets a bad rep, probably because of the "damage" that's added to the font, and its frequent use.
Alternatively, perhaps the graphic designer secretly did a lousy job and got away with it.
@@ReddoFreddo yeah but I don’t think it’s literally Papyrus, they clearly modified it
@@LJScott Well sure, it's not LITERALLY Papyrus in the same way that Robot Rock by Daft Punk isn't LITERALLY Release the Beast by Breakwater.
@@ReddoFreddo wooosh!
never gets old. possibly the best sketch of all time.
Yesss😂
PAPYRUS!!
I agree👍🏻
His Santa sketch and the Adam driver oil tycoon career day one are right up there
It’s a top-10er for sure, but nothing beats More Cowbell and Schweddy Balls.
I teach typography at a university. This is a “must-see” for every student. Brilliantly acted and brilliantly written.
Ryan's acting + the cinematic production made this feel like a film.
Yeah that's the joke.
@@hiandrewfisher Yeah, I know. But without the skillful execution, it would've fallen painfully flat.
congratulations
you found
(magical sounds)
the point
@@noechoprime Clever, Andrew. My point was -- you can try to make a sketch feel like a film and 99 times out of 100 it won't.
@@tcatl2603 I'm gonna have to see some citatations on that chief.
"like a thoughtless child, just wandering by a garden, yanking leaves along the way."
Cuts deep into his soul 😅
Wait until he sees the subtitles in the new movie :P
🤣This line is the crux of the entire skit. Legitimately amazing writing.
Reminds me of a line in Prometheus by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832): "Und übe, Knaben gleich, Der Disteln köpft, An Eichen dich und Bergeshöh'n!"
i have done that as a kid XD
My fav line!
"I know what you did!" has the same energy as "And I'll see you on the Malibu Beach!"
Good call!
Please, SNL, you must make a sequel to this sketch for Ryan Gosling's new appearance! New Avatar movies deserve to have this revisited.
Boy I've got good news for you
They have literally just released the second sketch 🥹
THE SEQUEL WE’VE ALL BE WAITING FOR IS FINALLY HERE!
Aged very well
The sequel to this sketch is equally as good. Avatar 3 needs to happen for no other reason than to keep this going.
"they're making more??" the line and the delivery.. so trivial yet so genius.
It's that little crack in his voice like he is trying to appear calm and normal, but he's on the verge of a breakdown.
@@wordsofcheresie936 So they fixed it??
@@RamonIce88 It looks... similar.
It works perfectly with Kate saying "the movie from like 9 years ago?" and then second guessing hearing about it and having to look it up.
thanks for making me think I had a fly on my screen I was all swiping at it and now i feel dumb. well done
I love that the papyrus font at the end is in comic sans.
The joke being, Papyrus is the 2nd most hated font in the world. The first one is Comic Sans.
Undertale
Nicolas Corso no
@@spicypeppers2019 u have bad time
The cycle keeps going...
This truly never gets old I always come back and watch it
Same 😂
Best part for me is that Papyrus was already a bit of a joke for me. I used to annoy my wife by pointing out every time I'd see Comic Sans or Papyrus in any sort of professional signs saying how crap and amateur they were. Then we saw this clip and I felt a huge sense of fulfillment, like it's not just me, someone else gets it. Now I come back to this clip every time I see a sign in Papyrus. It's still just as funny each time.
Gosling has to be an all-time great SNL host. He’s in multiple all-time sketches like this and the alien abductions lol
Just watched Avatar 2 and the second Papyrus popped up on the screen I knew I had to come back here and see this jewel for the 1,000th time. Truth never gets old.
SAME!! Had to resist the urge to just yell “I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!” during the opening credits.
Just got back from Avatar 2 and when "1 Year Later" faded on in glorious papyrus font I freaking lost it.
Avatar 2 actually developed a completely new font, and did so on response to this video.
The title treatment was new yes, but the captions were completely papyrus. I was like WHAT! After this whole sketch they’re still using it.
@@AndrewCortesi why would they change it based off a sketch?
It happened again. I thought it was behind me, but I had to watch the Papyrus sketch again.
Every time Avatar comes up!
whoa dude this literally just happened to me too!!!!!!! i wasn't even on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watch this once a week lol
Well whatever you did IT WASN'T ENOUGH
Not this again...
Clearly one of the best psychological thrillers of all time 🙌
"Live his insane little life" 😂😂😂😂😂
If I ever get into a car wreck, the first thing I'll ask the paramedics is if they remember the Avatar logo
Brilliant😂😂
"Sir, do you have any major allergies?"
"PAPYRUS!!!!!!!!"
I legit laughed out loud. Ive only ever written this comment once on another reply: I rarely comment and I also rarely laugh, usually even when I say lol or haha lim just sitting there staring stupidly at the screen with a grin on my face. But I laughed out loud at your comment.
Yeah, it was tribal yet futuristic!
Lmao then say to some on looker. i know what u did!
always loved comedy that revolves around the most absurd and silliest concepts possible and the actors playing it completely straight.
you'll love British comedy then!
In that case, I’d recommend ‘A Touch of Cloth’
Blade Runner 2049 set, 2016
Gosling: “how would you like me to say ‘Goddamnit’ when I find out my human memories are real?”
Villeneuve: “I want you to scream it like you’re confronting the designer responsible for Avatar’s Papyrus logo”
Gosling: “Say no more”
there is NOTHING silly about typographical crimes ;)
Someone should do more of that
1:41 “It wasn’t Kenough”
Gosling's hopeful delivery of "they fixed it!" line followed by the table flip is lights out...Love this quirky little film!!
The Comic Sans got me.
Props to Ryan Gosling, he brought his A game to a skit about a font.
( insert funny sans undertale joke )
Sketch* because skit means that it was done by amateures, this is profesionall
@@kallepronk7328 a vital point..
Ryan Gosling always does. One of the most brilliant actors alive today
Agreed he brought his A game good skit
The subject matter aside, that is some kick-ass acting from Ryan Gosling.
Steelmage99 ikr?? Then again he did “Drive” one of my all time fav’s. His quiet intensity to full-on stomping rage (elevator scene anyone?) in that film is just amazing!!
@@deniserossiter1059 ikr @ 1:19 i was thinking about the intro from drive.
One of my favorite movies ever.
Place beyond the pines is his best movie
what did you expect? he's a five-time, five-time player of the week. he's not some walk-on scrub... he's a player. he's a star!
@@themanagement69 yep....
Goslin driving trought the night with a blinkless look on his face Is so iconic.
This is the first and sketch I’ve cried laughing at in so long😭😭😭 “like a thoughtless child”💀
Shocked at how well this was directed and shot
Plus the great acting by Gosling, and the perfect smug face and expressions of the graphic designer, make this one of SNL's best shorts.
And that, my friends, is acting comedy. 1: 110% committed to the most absurd thing. 2: making a big deal of the mundane, to an absurd level. It's a twofer.
River Pinkston yeah dude it came across real good.
Right... Juxtaposed w/ the horrendous material their working w/, I would have to agree...
-23'
The small details...did you see how obsessed he was about the title face. Omg so good
"He just got away with it, this man, this professional graphic designer" I have never laughed so hard ever
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
"Was it cruelty?" :D
The fact that this is so accurate even to people who aren’t graphic designers but just know fonts a little bit and care a minimal amount about the right font being picked. The fact that this skit was written by someone who GETS it, or knows someone who gets it. Ryan Gosling seriously doing good reacting for an SNL skit, which elevates it beyond what it could’ve very well been with a lesser actor. The fact that the final Papyrus was written in Comic Sans. Amazing.
I have to thank them not only for the excellent acting here - but also for portraying my type of people - the nitpicky, observant types that are driven mad by things like this.
Ryan Gosling really needs to do more comedy. He is great at it.
He is really talented person. Not just a comediant
He was in a movie called The Nice Guys with Russel Crowe
@@zsg0110 I know! He was really good in it 👍
Have you seen Santa Baby yet? : )
@@jnt6239 yes! It is soo funny
😂
Best thing about this is my graphic design teacher was actually asked to design some posters for Avatar in like 2008 at the design firm he worked at, but he and his boss never heard back after they submit them. Months later, the papyrus poster comes out and they were furious. His name is also Stephen like Gosling's character in this video, so you can imagine how many people sent him this video when it came out lol
What was his response to the skit?
Why were they furious?
And did they mind the papyrus font? If so, why?
@@haelotny6523 I would assume they were furious because they went to the effort of doing actual graphic design work for the poster, but then the movie people ghosted them, didn't use the acknowledge the work they did, and - to top the insult off - used something that a child with a basic knowledge of Microsoft Word could have made?
I feel like this skit HAS to be based on a real conversation someone on SNL had with a graphic designer.
@@s_rofbear Not uncommon. Spike Lee stole the designer's work for his terrible "Oldboy" remake posters. The guy finally had to try and contact him through Twitter , where Spike Lee treated him like shit for daring to complain about not getting paid. The classic "You got paid in exposure" garbage.
Who just saw part 2 and came back?
This is one of the best skits in SNL history! So subtle and just beautifully funny!
My graphic design professor played this for us in class
carseat sounds like a cool guy
wait is that pearl in your profile pictures?
Mine did too; we all cringed when Papyrus was in Comic Sans lol
same lol
Mine too lol
As a Graphic Designer, may I just say that this was not an over reaction
We know. You're not alone... 😉
If they got payed for $5 Million for papyrus i would be upset too
Why? The entire movie was a ripoff of the cartoon Fern Gully... why should the font be any different. 😎
@@TitoTimTravels Fern Gully was bad though
@@TitoTimTravels James Cameron also ripped off Pocahontas too
The comic sans at the end truly is the cherry on top lmao
Ryan is brilliant!!! 😂😂😂
It doesn’t matter how many years go by -this sketch will continue to live rent free in my mind forever.
Much like...
Papyrus
And now that the trailer has dropped, it lives again
And we enjoy it's company, Papyrus is pure evil but this sketch is the stuff of legends.
@@007Julie get ready for a sudden deluge of papyrus, Avatar 2 is coming out in December.
@@cleverusername9369 It's been almost 13 years and I'm still not ready for it.
Is anyone else, very literally, blown away by the acting, production, writing and directing of this video. It's hauntingly beautiful.
Ben T
Gosling absolutely carries it though. I don’t think it would work with anybody else
The SNL crew really know how to deliver a quality sketch, not just in writing, but in production as well. I’ve seen movies that look worse than this sketch. Bravo SNL👏🏻 Bravo
Yes. They would do us all a favor by eliminating most of the live sketches and simply focus on the videos, which are almost universally superior in every way.
I kinda wish it left out the laugh track though. I also think it would have been better if we didn’t hear the table fall over when he knocks it over, would have been more dramatic.
But yeah this is still awesome
It’s good enough
Anytime anyone mentions a passion for graphic design or fonts, I have to share this video with them.
So far, it NEVER misses. Some of Mr. Gosling's BEST work.
I can't wait for Papyrus 3. If Papyrus was timid and Papyrus 2 was bold, what would Papyrus 3 look like? Would the Avatars live among timid Italians or bold Italians? "Sighing in Papyrus."
The graphic designer taunting him through the window as he passes by, mouthing the words 'papyrus' ....comedy gold😂
I think that was supposed to be James Cameron
My memory of the sketch was a different character totally oblivious.
@Robert Morris listen carefully at 1:27. Ryan referenced the graphic designer as "this man". The graphic designer got lazy and didn't wanna design his own logo🫢
He looks a bit like Bradley Cooper.
Is that Ben Stiller?!
as a graphic designer I have to say this is the funniest shit I've seen in my whole life. I keep coming back to this over and over again and every time is like the first. thank you SNL for this wonderful gift!
@Adrián Durán - he is also the son of an architect who designed every single piece of furniture in their house, down to a dining room table with a space for the potted plant his mother insisted on keeping with the table. She made him personalized doll houses out of cardboard because none of the ones they found in the store had all the details exactly the way he wanted them.
@@tejaswoman That's incredible!! I've always wished I was skilled at woodworking and construction so I could build my own house and furniture. The idea of being able to take an idea and actually create it in real life just sounds so amazing. Unfortunately, I'm scared of using most power tools, especially circular and table saws, so I doubt I'm going to be constructing anything any time soon haha.
I'm going to have to look up this guy and read more about him and his parents!! They seem really interesting and talented.
@@orchdork775
Just emulate Norm Abrams of the New Yankee Workshop...no power tools I'm sight yet everything turns out AMAZING.
@@efisgpr huh, I've never heard of that. I'll have to look into it
I didnt get this . Can anyone pl explain it.
Ken's therapist is weird barbie?
Hahahahaha
There is nothing this man can't do. He slays every time.🤣👏🤣
As much as I love Ryan Gosling in Lalaland and the Notebook, this has to be my favorite role of his.
it's kinda similar to his performance in 'The Nice Guys'
You guys should watch Lars and the real girl.
@@GirishKumarBhat that's a great movie
He should have won an Emmy for this.
But what about Santa Baby?
This is how I feel about Now You See Me 2 not being called Now You Don't
Omg SERIOUSLY
To be fair, it kinda doubles as "Now you see me too"
I stannn.
Brilliant
I just recently saw it again and I cannot get over this
I love how they also kind of recreated scenes from movies Ryan acted in like DRIVE when he's driving through the night or THE NOTEBOOK when he's standing in the "rain", talking to the woman. Real work of art
When I’m feeling down I watch this. It always helps. Thanks SNL ❤
Almost 5 years later, the "THEY'RE MAKING MORE?" still makes me burst out laughing
And it looks like this WILL be the year! Set for a December release.
@@slojinPA Under the watchful eyes of Disney, which was inconceivable in 2009.
@@slojinPA so they fixed it?
@@fromthehaven94 Disney has it now? Was that part of the Fox thing?
@@danceyrselfkleen with the amount of time and money that has been spent on these sequels the pressure for these films to perform has to be immeasurable.
Kyle Mooney mouthing “PAPYRUS” out the window is pure comedy gold
Oh that’s what he’s saying, trying to figure it out for years lol
I feel like an idiot cause I legit thought that was Seth Green
I was waiting for someone to mention Kyle Mooney on here :,)
Nyeh
I thought it was Bradley Cooper
No matter how many times I watch this, it gets me every single time 🤣 ps Ryan nailed his performance
I’m so grateful to be alive at the same time as Ryan Gosling! I’ll never get tired of this video 😭 Please upload Papyrus 2 also on TH-cam 🙏
Clearly based on a true story. I knew several graphic designers, years before this sketch. They never failed to comment whenever they saw papyrus font anywhere. It's ridiculous.
Yes, Papyrus is indeed ridiculous. It must be stopped at all costs.
I honestly hate papyrus more than comic sans.
@@crunk1 Why?
I was in a Photoshop class in 2012 and the cute blonde next to me used papyrus on one of her projects. I was torn between telling her the truth about papyrus and possibly missing out on a date, or lying through my teeth just to have a chance. I went with the truth. Luckily, the instructor agreed with me. (And luckily the girl found it funny.)
@@EmpyreanLightASMR and what’s the truth about papyrus? Lol
The glimmer of hope in his voice when he says, “they fixed it”
I need a sequel to this.
Right?! Comic sans maybe 😆
Blade Runner 2049:
Had to re-watch this after the part 2 was out. What a masterpiece 👏
I constantly quote the way Ryan Gosling screams “it wasn’t enough!” Always makes me cry laughing
Your not alone 😂
Lmaooo that quote in his scream echoes through my mind probably like twice a day
You should check out his Santa Baby sketch as well. Some fantastic Ryan Gosling screams.
Except now it should be “it wasn’t Kenough”
Constantly??? Whatever you say chief. 🤣🤣
I love how the designer knows what's going on and he's so smug about it too
the perfect villain.. is one that doesn't care about PAPYRUS!
got payed bug money for a blockbuster movie logo by just typing A V A T A R in word with papyrus...any graphic designer would be very upset XD
And what about the sequels? They can't keep getting away with this!
@@svenpoletka5236 I'm afraid...they just added papyrus to the new logo too...or tried to changed it a bit...
@@minakomel They actually changed it, thank god.
probably the funniest SNL skit they ever made, just pure brilliance. It can't be topped
2:23 The Notebook but the notebook is filled with notes for the design of the Avatar papyrus font
“Whatever they did... It wasn’t ENOUGH!”
iLiked that part. I LOLed too hard.
Easily a top 10 SNL sketch imo. Not even a debate. Simple concept, great execution, brilliant acting.
I’m sorry, but could you explain the humor of this to me? Like is there some universal hate of papyrus I’m not aware of, or is the whole joke his over reaction? I’ve just always felt like I’m missing the joke on this one.
@@khoward9512 I'm responding a bit late but I think the joke is moreso about how expensive the movie was (cost hundreds of millions of dollars) just to use a cheap font for its title and marketing. So Ryan is pissed because this professional graphic designer was probably paid a lot of money to just carelessly choose a stupid font and "got away with it". Lots of people do hate papyrus though.
@@khoward9512 I think the humor comes from the contrast between the structure and the content. The short has the tropes of a serious, dramatic piece - the tone, the music, the imagery, the tortured soul struggling with a psychological burden they cannot bear, the thousand-year stares, the therapist, the frustrated spouse, the obsessive fixation. It's a well-made dramatic piece - all of the acting, production values, writing - it all speaks to a piece that is earnestly trying to convey a heart-wrenching story.
But then the content is about the most trivial thing imaginable.
So the humor comes from taking a small observational joke - "the Avatar logo looks like some guy just opened Word and picked the Papyrus font" - and using it as the core of a dramatic story of a tortured soul.
These two things - the core of the joke and the presentation - do not belong together. The presentation creates an expectation for the content (seriousness), and the content creates an expectation for the presentation (lighthearted, off-hand observation), and both of these expectations are continuously reinforced and subverted throughout.
Ur smart
Just like everyone hates Comic Sans - and there are plenty of memes, jokes, and sketches about it. Papyrus is considered the second most hated font. Helvetica is usually considered the most liked font.
Time for my annual rewatch of this masterpiece.
I do quarterly
@@maxymum7make sure you eat enough protein and get enough rest, to not lose any gains....annual is crazy already, quarterly is just pushing it.
The sequel is out guys !!
"He got away with it, this guy, this.... Professional Graphic Designer...His laziness....was a cruelty..." That quote in the voice-over, while crying silent tears was amazing
@James Bond "was it laziness? Was it cruelty?"
I love the way he says "IT WASN'T ENOUGH!".
ikr looks like it could be a scene from a huge movie lmao
I know, probably my favorite part of the entire sketch. 😂
God I keep coming back to this video every now and then. and I love it so much. I took years of graphic design / font design classes and I know if I got tasked a job I'd do something like this .
Who is here after watching papyrus 2 ? I can't wait for papyrus 3
That comic sans at the end though, just to be extra painful! 😂
yet funny
I have nightmares about Comic Sans
not the game character
Jigøku Shøjø oh the typeface is much scarier than the video game character 😂
rofl. i know right. genius... or clever, at least.
y e s
1:40 "IT WASN'T ENOUGH!!!!" Oh god that killed me, so much passion and commitment for type design
FaHus15 that was by far my favorite part!
Favorite part
That part gmfu too 😂😂😂
Agreed. Absolute favorite!
same here XD I get so triggered
I can't believe they made a sequel!
Papyrus 2
Papayrus 2 is coming! 😂
Don’t be fooled by the great writing and acting, the cinematography is also incredible.
And also the sliding car seat. It overshadows everything.
Firstnamelastname Joe Budden watched SNL? That’s crazy
I showed this to my teenagers. Both studying to become graphic designers.
Editing. It’s all in the editing.
@@Digrient Well, that and Ryan Gosling's emotional performance.
This is how I feel about "Ralph Breaks The Internet" not being called "Ralph WRECKS the Internet" instead.
sam wow, never thought of it... now I’m bothered
Wow Sam you ruined me
How could you do this to me, I can't un-see this
5 words: "now you see me two"
This has upset me since I saw the title. It's so annoying that they didn't do that
Anyone here again after watching Papyrus 2?
Papyrus in comic sans at the end; gold!
A. Joseph well obviously they are brothers
A. Joseph omg lmao 😆😆
Was that a nod to Undertale or was it just trashing comic sans?
A. Josep
Mary Bogue
It was trashing Comic Sans. Comic Sans and Papyrus are globally hated equally; thus, they made a final joke.
SNL really shines when they have real actors as guests.
@Sturgeon lol ok chief

Best part is they used Comic Sans for the title at the end
I thought its an Undertale joke. )
@@crisgriffin3042 No, Undertale is making jokes about the font, not the other way around
The most evil font of them all
I remember when Comic Sans was cool.
without comedy

Just watched the papyrus 2. Wanted to see where it all started 😂😂
