Here Mike has revealed the true tragedy of his life. In this day and age, it is *so* difficult to self-destruct in a unique and memorable way. Mike has chosen Adam Sandler movies. The tragedy is that there are only so many of those movies that can still be made, and afterwords, he will be left with nothing. The clock is ticking, and those movies are just not doing the job. He is faced with the choice of living in the dull grey Hell that his life has become, or to end it all in a more conventional way that will simply blend in with all the others, forgotten almost immediately by all except those who love him... yeah... those who love him... The point is, as Freddy Kruger pointed out, being forgotten is a bitch. This is the true doom that Mike faces with each failed attempt to court Lady Death at the hands of a Happy Madison film. I wish him luck in this endeavors.

[@FarewellChorus]

0:51 I'm watching this video for the first time, and this entire exchange feels like a discussion of the nature of religious faith. They're being lead by forces they don't know much about, and which do not respond to them. They can only hope that they're going the right way. Jay at first worries that they're being lead to damnation, but Mike posits the existence of a paradise. Jay catches on to the idea and starts coming around, and Mike reaffirms his own faith, proclaiming "I *know* there will be hotdogs". All this without any real information about the vehicle or the entities driving it. Helps that the people in front look like members of one of several proselytizing religious groups. Edit: fixed spelling

Griffith's 1930 biopic of Abraham Lincoln, and the problems you guys described with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter are in Griffith's older supposed classic, too.
