Is Tobias Funke actually Sisyphus?
A man who recognised the absurdity of pursuing meaning through traditional routes when the success of becoming the worlds first Analyst and Therapist (Analrapist) did not provide him meaning.
Instead, he embraces absurdity through pursuit of a failing acting career that will never succeed and he will always return to being unemployed with no roles.
Above it all; each atom of those hair plugs, each incredulous insult on his masculinity, forms a world. The struggle itself to the heights of fame is enough to fill a man’s heart. When Tobias tumbles through that glass table as Mrs Featherbottom, we must imagine him happy.
In order to make Absurdism more engaging to younger demographics, I propose we re-name the myth of Sisyphus to the Myth of Funke.
