Monday night is Super Bowl LIV Opening Night, which means that press get to gather around and try to get the players to answer questions while, simultaneously, a bunch of other press dress up like fools and try to get easy laughs by embarrassing themselves.
But this year, a reporter in that second crew went above and beyond, and needs to be applauded.
You may say, Man, that is a whole lot of commitment to get one not very good joke off.
To which I reply: Yes, and therein lies its brilliance.
It’s one thing to dress up a fool. It’s another thing entirely, a beautiful thing, to dress up a fool all for the entire purpose of getting off one, awful, stupid pun. The purpose behind the costume changes. No longer is it just to grab attention. No, now there is meaning behind it. Sure, it’s an idiotic pun, but still, that is something.
Bless you, reporter, whoever you are. Bless you for committing to the bit.
Beautiful. Idiotic, but beautiful.
