how to break vic

if you’re confused about what’s going on, this is a show called Very Important People where comedians get a surprise transformation and have to make up a character on the spot for an improvised interview. the first episode is on youtube but these ones you can watch if you subscribe to Dropout!

Straw house - destroyed ✅ Sticks house - destroyed ✅ Mom's face - stepped on ✅

The thing that makes Zac so funny is that he, too, has no idea what's about to come out of his mouth

there is something magical about the way Ally said, "He stepped on my mom."

"I invested it and turned it into sixteen thousand dollars" -Tommy Shriggly.

Also love the part where Vic asks Tommy what job he would do and he says "the military" without missing a beat

Zac's inflection on "$16,000" is the best. it's like Tommy Shriggly is just SO PROUD of the way he lost $84,000

i love that there are two examples of absurd violence presented seriously lol

“That was AS dAHrk as it gets”

Ally's episode is so special because it still feels like there was no reason for them both to break, but watching Vic just crack like that fucking sent me. Also I love Ally but rarely see them outside of their DND roles where it fees like they're playing alternate versions of their chaotic self so seeing them in this costume with the full prosthetics was WILD bc of how low-key the character seemed.

god, zac’s tommy shriggly episode was just too funny, idk if they’ll ever be able to top it

“He stepped on my mom” Should not have been as funny as it was. That really got me for some reason 😂😂😂

the $16,000 is still my favorite single moment from the season thus far

Zac, Beardsley, and Vic all get that the humor of this show isn't just the absurd character the guest has invented, it's also the setting of a daytime talk show a la Oprah or Ellen. "Combat veteran who's here to show us the power of positivity," and "cute innocent victim of a horrible tragedy *telling us their story*" are exactly the kinds of people you'd expect to see interviewed on a show like that. But then the characters themselves zag so dramatically from the beats you're expecting of that interview. The combat veteran is an unindicted war criminal. The heartbreakingly sweet trauma victim is a dangerous conspiracist prepper, and also their story sounds pretty unbelievable. These aren't uncomplicated figures, they're profoundly dangerous, in ways this forum is fundamentally unequipped to handle. So it isn't just the humor of these characters' ridiculous appearance and mannerisms, it's also the satirical humor of a pat daytime show script making an unplanned veer into extremely grim reality. There's so many different contradictions and shifting foundations at play here, yet everyone's still trying to play it off and treat this like it's normal, most of all Vic. That's funny.

i love zack's "as dyuark as it gets"

honestly the funniest part to me is the way he leans forward on his chair at 0:20

The part where Zac says "16,000 dollars" with such emphasis that he makes it sound bigger than $100,000 kills me.

personal favourive moment is when vic asks zac "dream profession if money wasnt a problem" and he without hesitation goes "being in the military" ... GOD i laugh everytime i rewatch that.

Zac’s absolutely no hesitation answer of “the military” as his dream job is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

"And from there, everything was gravy" meaning the only thing he could afford to eat was gravy
