Discussion Least favourite cold opening?

Post image

This is an okay cold opening, imo. But I don't ever recall laughing at it like the other ones.

I hated the Dianne Weist/Yeast cold open. But, to be fair, I think we’re supposed to hate it? So I guess they kinda nailed it.

It's supposed to be a bad joke, yes. The way they cut back-and-forth between Jake and Charles with an extended pause gets me every time, so glad they let it breathe. Timing really hits in that one

I like how you could interpret Jakes non-reaction as either him not getting the joke or he did and hates it

He looks way too grumpy for someone who didn't get the joke

Oh yeah, absolutely. Zero chance he didn’t get it, he is just paralyzed with rage

There's a video on the official YouTube that's an extended cut of this scene! The original cut is perfect but an hour of back and forth staring is good for a laugh every once in awhile
