Lost all respect for Tom Hanks after his insolent displays at Ricky Gervais's appearances at the Golden Globes. And now we learn the real deals behind the Globes, you can tell that Hanks is one of those people who take it way too seriously and are impeding efforts at reform.

Still can't get over the fact that he keeps asking them if they have any questions, and then immediately closes the door and refuses to answer them.

That's a brilliant idea; now I'm gonna make it my ringtone, too!

One of the things that makes it so brilliant is how "seriously" Hanks commits, as he always does. The sketch fails miserably if he doesn't commit entirely to the aburdity of it all. Kenan plays the cheesy employee perfectly, Kate and Beck are both nonplussed and confused, our beat boys never break character and get increasingly weird, then an actual, genuine (albeit comic and light) jump scare to finish it. Great build-up, amazingly written, skillfully acted, masterfully executed. Really, just a perfect sketch.

The greatest thing about this skit is that whether or not Tom Hanks liked it, or understood it, or wanted to do it, he goes all out with it. Very professional.

To be fair, the frustration of not knowing why or how this specific spectacle is being presented to them builds into a pitch of genuine horror and anxiety, which is then POPPED by David S Pumpkins' unexpected apparition in the elevator while their minds are spinning their wheels trying to understand what's going on. So, the Unknown did cause Fear, just not in the way we've grown accustomed to expect - which reinforces the truth of the statement, I would think.

The real scary part is how David can get between floors so quickly. It’s probably the same way he got in the elevator. I’m thinking either he can teleport, or he and the skeletons stow away on the outside of the elevator car and then assume their positions before the doors open. If the latter is the case, there’s probably a hatch leading into the elevator car that David can go through to appear behind the tourists.

He also had a 22-minute show, which usually included a musical guest and a few minutes of talking to the audience. He basically did about fifteen minutes of sketches each episode. If you take just the first 30 minutes of an SNL show, consider that it's all written and rehearsed in five days and with serious limitations on location, it's actually pretty impressive. Not as good as Chappelle, but he is the best of all-time for a reason.

Now, see, that is the secret to good scares. Get in their head with something that is minorly vexing, and silly. They will not be scared. Then just do that thing (for example, if it is a silly noise you make) record it as your ring tone, leave the phone in a place where the prank target is expecting quiet (sitting outside, for example) and call the phone after about 10 minutes of relative silence. Prank wars with friends taught me some things.

Yo we all coming back for this skit again huh

6 years later and we are still jamming to this masterpiece.

I'd say 13% of SNL skits are funny now that they have gone all-in on bashing Trump and becoming extreme progressive candy asses. And the tiny 13% of SNL skits that ARE funny are those prior to the election of 2016, and when they show very old SNL skits. Kinda like how Bill Maher used to have interesting shows with some interesting topics----but became a progressive and unfunny shill for the far left with every minute of every show bashing President Trump. Boring. I wish Christopher Hitchens were still around to give the mindless political hack audiences of both shows the finger.

"100 floors of frights, they're not all gonna be winners." The injection of reality is what makes this one of SNL's best sketches.

The skit takes several ridiculous aspects of theme parks -- low rent characters, low rent music, low rent production value -- and cranks up the absurdity to 1000. Absurdity in the hands of the right people is hilarious. Tom Hanks makes this skit work. All the players help the thing along, but he makes it work. The pacing of the skit is perfect.

This is actually a brilliant design for a haunted attraction. Start by giving them what they expect in order to lower their suspicions, hit them with the distraction that lowers their guard, overdo it on purpose to ensure the punchline is well set up, then hit them with the greatest jump scare of their lives... I'd totally pay $10 for that experience.
