I feel you but damn this was honestly too funny for me to even care 😹

[@saligonth]

The reason why I love Eric Andre so much is his acting feels genuine and hilarious. I'm cringing because he can honestly embarrass me with the realism. I feel like I'm watching some cracked-out Ronald McDonald, not an actor doing a prank, and it keeps me invested and entertained. He does some unreal shit to keep the funny going. Keep up the good work!
