The incredible thing about HSR is that for anyone familiar with the source material, it seems almost impossible to take scenes out of context - it's so tightly written that you can see almost _any_ clip and instantly know the context.
@@woeiscamila it’s a bit different - with most “out of context” compilations you laugh _because_ the scenes have been removed from their context and the new interpretation(s) are funny.
