Papyrus - SNL 

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.

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?

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

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

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 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"

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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8PdffUfoF0.htmlsi=x93_2928X4WZbP11

Avatar 2 logo is Papyrus in bold

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

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

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! 👍

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.

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

Real big drama and conflict there! I would have taught that in cinema schools

Literally!

Kenough!

You mean it wasn't Kenough

LOLLLL@@kavyasingh2309

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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...

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

Good call!

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.

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...

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?

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....

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!

FaHus15 that was by far my favorite part!

Favorite part

That part gmfu too 😂😂😂

Agreed. Absolute favorite!

same here XD I get so triggered

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

@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.

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.

( 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

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?!

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

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 😂

A. Joseph omg lmao 😆😆

Was that a nod to Undertale or was it just trashing comic sans?

A. Josep

@@cleverusername9369 It's been almost 13 years and I'm still not ready for it.

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

You're aware of how script writing works, no?

@@crisgriffin3042 No, Undertale is making jokes about the font, not the other way around

@@ytmndan they are 💀💀💀 wth do you think they are..... some actors come from snl

@Sturgeon Missing my point entirely.

@@javonanthony1224 "Some" actors, not "real" actors.

Not really, sometimes they still have terrible writing and the good actors make it seem less so

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'

@@daybidbanderbecht5299 This skit is like a flame for rookie graphic design months. Yeh it's worth a chuckle but pick a different font and move the fuck on.

Why? It's a good font, fits the avatar vibe well

wait what.... i don't get it...what's the deal over this?

@@ShesThe1yup It's a font which has long been considered extremely 'naff.' Using it for a mega-budget movie franchise suggests both laziness and lack of taste on the designer's part. Gosling's character is angry because the designer has done next-to no original work and has perpetuated the font's usage.

Funniest part. He's just so outraged at something so small it's hilarious.

@@Mopark25 It isn't a small thing if you're a graphic designer, or if you're in advertising. You know that fonts make their own emotional impact. And for a movie that spent as much, and made as much, you'd think they'd pay extra to create their own "tribal yet futuristic" font.

Was it laziness... was it cruelty...

@C J Paying for royalties for permission to use parts of an original work in your own is completely different than using a stock font every single person has on their computer.

@@Mopark25 The fuck you talking about? That was a huge deal in the design world.

The over-Papyrusing of America has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. I've even joked with my colleagues about it (other designers).
