Billy Bob Thornton

I see this guy come out and I lost my mind.

I was screaming, crying, laughing, you know, with some of the shit he did because he just came out and just said, I'm going to do the stupidest shit you've ever seen in your life.

And people are going to laugh.

Yeah.

And it's like, you know, and what he would just do the whole excuse me or whatever, you know.

And so here's a guy coming out being over the top laughing.

and putting arrows through his head, shit.

And people couldn't get enough of it.

And before he did that, nobody else had ever done that.

And all of a sudden, here you got a guy that is doing it.

And that became more the norm for a while.

It's like it spawned a lot of other people.

It's like when we did Bad Santa,

There hasn't been anything like that.

And the next thing you know, after bad Santa, there's bad moms, bad teachers, bad grandpas, bad next door neighbors, you know, bad guy who works at the dry cleaners, you know.

And so and those will last for several years, you know, where you where people are kind of getting that in their heads.

And naturally they're influenced by it.

And that brand lasts for a while.

Absolutely.

And it's so wild because, you know, when you mentioned that thing about the big arenas and stuff, another thing that's scary to me about comedy is, like, if you're not in a room where everybody gets every nuance, that would scare me.
