Troy Soren provides the type of balanced, nuanced and well reasoned views we so desperately need in these troubled times.

Marty could play these characters in his sleep. Too talented. Just close your eyes and listen to his voice. The commentary is obscure, dry and a little self righteous. It's the small details that make these skits masterpieces. Pure perfection.

You are right. I always liked the way they took a little too long to cut away, just as his eyes wandered a little. Small, but hilarious!

Love this.. IDK why but I laughed so damn hard at how he starts this editorial then it just gets better and better. He nailed how condensing and arrogantly these used to be and honestly still are. Troy is Martin's most underrated character imo.. he never did him after SCTV which was unfortunate. Woulda loved to seen him on SNL. Martin did Troy so subtle which was such a contrast to his other characters.. perfection. The ad during Melonvote was gold too; made him look flat out looney tunes. Shame we never got a Troy vs Earl skit that woulda been truly amazing.
