Jupe Recalls The Gordy Incident (Steven Yeun Scene) | Nope

[@spiderrocket8367]

Notice that he remembers the exact time for how long it lasted. That's some deep ass trauma

[@joechill6327]

He can't even tell what actually happened, he has to retell the comedy sketch because he can't handle the reality.

[@swagyolo413]

I think he can, but bringing it back up for himself causes him to recoil jump for a split second. I think he remembers it all but that even changed him so much, he’s who we see grown up.

[@SpencerfromEarth]

Nah, telling it through the comedy sketch amplifies the themes of the movie. What happened should be (and likely is) extremely traumatizing for him, yet he makes a shrine out of the incident and makes a spectacle out of the ordeal. When asked to tell the story, he talks about someone making a parody of it- the spectale. It's violent and terrible, but we make sketchs out of it and just gather round to watch.

[@Doze1202]

It’s made worse by the fact that when he describes the sketch as such: *Chris Kattan Gordy only attacks when “someone mentions the jungle”* When of course, we know it was really because he was triggered by the balloon popping. It feels like a way of filmmakers being alleviated from guilt by denying how it happened and villainizing Gordy even more than they should've.

[@heisensaul5538]

If this really happened on the set of a sitcom, it would 100% be lost media. The network would be keeping this footage buried and it would probably never get out. Gordy's home would probably get pulled from tv as well stemming from this.

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

Yup. Would be the same as Steve Irwin's last dive or Christine Chubbuck's incident. We would know about it, but never see the tape or finding out the exact details.

[@heisensaul5538]

@@Bothrops_Asper_89 It's possible we might know the details, but just never see it. Also, and maybe this is just me, but doesn't it seem kind of cruel that there was a Saturday night live sketch about this, or MAD Magazine having a cover about the incident in the movie's universe? I mean Irl people got really upset at Kim Kardashian for taking a picture with a baby chimp and putting it up on twitter right after the Charla Nash attack, so I couldn't imagine people not being upset with either MAD or SNL.

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

@@heisensaul5538 I'd like to think media wouldn't poke fun at something so horrific, but then again, SNL was making sketches about Heaven's Gate less than a week after it happened. And it was the mid 90s, around the same time the chimp scene took place.

I just noticed that the shoe has to be propped up because he can't make it stand on its own. Probably a reference to Jupe trying to control something he can't.

[@concept5631]

Can shoes even stand up like that on their own in the real world? How did the filmmakers even get it to look like that?

[@uyuyuyuya]

​@@concept5631 someone on another comment's video said that the shoe wasn't actually standing on its own and instead, it was attached to something else but since we're watching it from Jupe's perspective, the trauma of living that moment blurred some details from what really happened and Jupe sees it as a 'miracle'.

Scene is so fucked up Imagine if SNL made a popular skit mocking a school shooting, and we made the survivors constantly tell strangers about the most traumatic day of their life for money.

[@spockman4250]

Honestly, not too unbelievable. They made a skit mocking the Heaven's Gate Cult suicides shortly after it happened. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a skit about this if it actually happened.

[@Scarshadow666]

SNL (and several other pieces of art/media) have already done this with things like the OJ trials. And there's unfortunately still some people that do variations of that in some of the infamous parts of the True Crime community and with some of Netflix's documentaries (like when they released the Dahmer and Marilyn Monroe documentaries). 0_0

[@elmagnificodep]

SNL has done skits about serial killers.

[@chelseabradley3645]

Jupe is such a fascinating character because he’s so clearly relied on separating himself entirely from the reality of what happened that he spends the whole explanation talking about it through the lens of an SNL sketch.

[@fnafking4154]

Leave it to a Hollywood superstar to turn traumatic tragedy into monetary compensation…

[@denisehagwood4542]

Yeah because no other industry exploits tragedy for money lol. Insurance, healthcare, lawyers, news stations, i could go on.... Lol

[@axolotlsarecute6764]

tbh i feel bad 4 jupe since he proberaly got a lot of trauma from that experience. u see he tries to talk abt the fun parts of gordy and the incident and he doesn't emphasise on the bad part, only mentioning it once throughout the whole scene.

[@phils2086]

I find it quite unlikely that SNL would do a skit on this , especially when deaths were involved , but I got to say I think the way Jude describes it and then cutting to the actual events briefly hits me hard .

[@pokernightcoordinator6766]

Hmm, the Mad Magazine with Gordy on the cover says it was issued in July 1997 and Jupe also says that "Gordy's Home" aired in Fall 96. So the 2nd season would have aired in Fall 97--- but later in the movie when the Gordy attack happens, the movies says it was in "1998". Anyone else notice this?
