As an editor, I am aware of Papyrus font. Saw Avatar 2 a few days ago for the first time. When the in-movie subtitles popped up, I said "ah, papyrus" aloud without thinking much. My sister said to me "you saw the skit?" and I had no idea what she was talking about. Never saw it. Then she showed me it. Died of laughter. Absolutely brilliant.

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.
@julsmarino6512
9 ай бұрын
@@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.
@JaiWithani
9 ай бұрын
@@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.

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.

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.

The end with the word papyrus written in Comic Sans was the icing on the cake. This little skit is a gem.
I’ve seen this sketch so many times and just discovered a joke I never noticed before. At 2:03 Ryan says he sees the papyrus font on hookah bars, shakira merch and off-brand tees. Then it cuts to a faded montage of each of those things but instead of tees, it literally shows an off-brand tea company. It’s so silly but that really made me laugh 🤣
