1. Why is this so magical?
I have no idea. Don’t make me ruin magic by explaining it.
OK, fine. It’s probably because it has the magic formula: Slightly rhythmic nonsense + “Break it down” moment + Extras who are actually kind of flirting with being the main characters.
2. Should I laugh or cry?
Some of both, probably. Any good metaphor will do that to you. The giggles are because you noticed the incongruity, and the crying is because you noticed the incongruity.
Gene disguises himself as a NYC cab driver, but he’s really in the business of observing metaphors, and hot damn is he good at it.
3. Is this creepy or hot?
I’d hit it.
(And I’d probably take a shower immediately afterward.)
4. What does it mean that font names are so hard to tell apart from cheese names?
Meaningless. Absolutely meaningless.
On second thought, it could mean that font designers are not people you want to have as your friends.
5. Why is this so interesting?
Is it? Are you sure it isn’t just you? Looks like a normal living room to me.
The culture that is Washington, D.C.
