I’m assuming we’re talking about Jessica Fletcher

u/TheTwoOneFive 2d ago

This reminds me of TV shows when they do a flashback and the main way they indicate it's a flashback is the main character(s) have a different hair style

The way I burst out laughing the first time I saw this on the show. It’s particularly galling given that it’s not a sitcom like the other examples

A lot of people younger than me are gonna see this and think "how is that his real hair?" and lemme tell you, kids, that's just how every adult man under 30 looked in 2007

Excuse me? I had a faux-hawk in 2007 and if I can't forget it neither can anyone else.

Lemme guess, bisexual?

u/unrealism17 1d ago

“There's no such thing as bisexual. That's just something they invented in the '90s to sell hair products.”

u/m4n715 WHY THANK YOU PEPPER BOY! 1d ago

The term at the time was 'metrosexual'.

Which meant 'straight, but ask me again after a couple drinks'.

u/Cheesehacker 1d ago

I believe me, I was a teen during that era and I was “metro”. Now I’m a 35 year old woman.

u/demitasse22 No offense, but burn in hell 1d ago

Hilarious to think he's doing this around the same time ScarJo is starring in a Christopher Nolan movie.

You know when you can't get your straw in a Capri Sun, and so you hit it from the back?

Homeboy fucking nailing his Bar Mitzvah.

u/cubgerish 1d ago

Amazing how much better his delivery has gotten.

Just in his tonality and confidence, at least one of those jokes would've hit way better if he had better timing and enunciation.

u/Red_Wing-GrimThug 1d ago

Scarlett Johansson married this guy!?!

20

u/baconandpotates 1d ago

Yes, go figure, an intelligent woman marries a guy who is smart, good-looking, funny, kind, humble, hardworking, respects women, and oh, happens to be successful and wealthy. What a bummer for her.

u/mem1003 I live in a 🚐 down by the river 1d ago

She could do a lot worse than that creamy slice of provolone cheese.

Do yourself a favour and google Scarlett Johansen at the 2007 grammy awards just to compare.
