tv pitch: a completely average workplace sitcom except that it’s established at the end of the pilot that it takes place on the 90th floor of the world trade center in 2000. every episode the date is shown, just to build the sense of impending doom. the show is otherwise a completely generic the office ripoff. the intro sequence is a montage of airplanes taking off.
at the end of the second season, we reach 9/10/01. after six months of waiting, season 3 drops. now it’s 9/12/01. nothing has happened. the characters carry on as normal. fans of the series go insane. the show never explains what happened, and continues to pretend it’s a normal sitcom.
one of my favorite recurring bits that i do is when someone loses any non-phone object (keys, tv remote, debit card, vape, etc) and they’re looking around semi-frantically, i chime in and ask “do you want me to call it?”
once u have a pet for a while u run out of normal sentences to say to them and u have to make up more sentences on the spot. Currently telling my dog about his upcoming position as an accountant. they’re hiring him because he’s soooo little. so he has to be an accountant.
“when did we all become so performative” idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.
