[@cutthecreeper6154]

The fact that this character was able to sneak the cat on board, take him to space, keep him alive for 4 months without food or water while he was asleep, and then remove him from the bag completely unharmed makes me think he’s actually a genius.

[@zaydlogan882]

Cut the Creeper I was thinking the same thing

[@Greendragon434]

I guess he put the cat into hypersleep before he went in, himself. And managed to do it all on the sly.

[@slushpuppie19]

Well, he is one of the country's top scientists!

[@MidoriJane12]

Cut the Creeper he *is* one of earths top scientists

[@SpeedwagonZaidan]

Ironically there is a precedent for this. In Alien, which I believe a lot of the characters in this sketch were modeled after certain characters in that or similar space movies, Ripley has her kitty cat Jones sleep at the bottom of her hypersleep pod. And while Kirby is like insane, the idea of bringing pets into space is a classic morale boost for the crew and I'm really confused why no one else liked Kirby's little kitty cat, aside from the fact that he seemed like a psychopath.

Have an engineering professor just like this guy, no joke. He got his doctorate at Stanford. Every online lecture he mentions/introduces his cats multiple times and has a similar cooing voice.

@@Retro_Red Goats are the devil! Black Phillip! As a kid one challenged me and charged me after I had enough and I spit into demonic eyes and it fled. Roosters also are a pain and stalked me. So back handed the cock when he came at me jumping, and it hit this very old horse in the face which which spooked it so it started stomping and rearing. I was like FmL until the rooster jumped up and walked away. It did not fuck with me again, but felt bad for that old horse.

[@videosforpeople8197]

He gave some vague reasons as to why he was like Chris Farley, and I disagree with all those reasons. Chris Farley is big and boisterous. Only Moynihan could pull this sketch off. He's nothing like Chris, and I'm sure he doesn't enjoy being compared to Farley due to his obesity. If Kristen Wiig was in the part, you wouldn't say she acted anything like Chris Farley. Moynihan is nothing like Farley. Nobody ever will be,
