Probably, but it does beg the question if Sparks and Night know who Tate Donovan is or if both these things got made and no one was like, "you know that's already a guy, right?"

 

I asked for the SpongeBob weights at my gym and got laughed at:(

 

Jokes on you I know Tate D from an incredible This American Life episode. We’re not the same

 

He basically became Dwight.

 

He’s worse

 

I feel like him and Chris Pratt are the same person now

 

I hate how comedy as a film and tv genre is at such a lull that so many good comic actors basically only do commercials and/or podcasts now.

like Ellie Kemper starred in a huge streaming comedy 6 years ago, huge career high, and the biggest thing I have seen her in post-pandemic is being the spokeperson for Kohl's.

Also lot of good recent SNL vets seem to only do commercials now.

 

I had no idea this was originally a real media thing. I thought it was an Internet 1.0 meme.

 

It was both. It was a tv scene that became one of the first viral Internet meme things.

 

Is Ally McBeal good?

 

The Burger King song is probably my favorite memory of early Internet. That or YTMND.

 

Dancing Baby was a HUGE cultural moment.

 

I don't really remember it too much, but think that Disney+ She-Hulk show minus all the superhero shit.

 

All I know about Ally McBeal is that Flockhart was always in the grocery store tabloid covers with Harrison Ford.

 

I tried to watch it last year. Only got a few episodes in but it was fun. My parent's loved it back in the day.

 

a show with that cast has to at least be watchable

 

Ally McBeal is one of those shows I remember airing as a kid but have no clue what it’s about, what the tone is, who is in it, etc. It’s like a name on an empty file in my pop culture knowledge. Dancing baby coming from it is both a shock and the only thing I now know about it lol

 

what if I didn’t watch that

 

Then I dunno it's the only thing I can compare the tone to lol
