Tim shouldn’t have yelled at the crowd like that. For all he knows, it could’ve been the boss of the company that he has a job interview at a year from now.

[@BillBrasky86]

[@JunoCommando]

I had to watch it a couple times to realise that the reason the woman on stage has already been pointed to, thus ruining the pointer brother's chance to demonstrate how to be pointed at....is because that's how they selected her to come on stage haha.

[@ace0425]

[@BlinksAwakening]

Yelling at Wagoo for doing the thing he's supposed to do that they sent him out to do is so stupidly hilarious to me.

[@pyenapple]

Just like Republicans in congress. Like, literally

[@naiyt9065]

This is me with most of my problems

[@jackbabb7123]

I think the funniest part about this is that each pointer brother is pointing at (about) 2 people per second. There are 3 of them, meaning 6 people are pointed at per second. 60 seconds in a minute means 360 people are pointed at in one minute. If there are 1,000 people in the “arena”, this act would take a little over 2 and a half minutes. Yet they choose to hinder their progress with indecisiveness, confrontation, and Wagu. It’s beautiful.

[@maxatrillionfatstacks]

The fact that the music cuts out when he's yelling at the audience and then it picks right back up when Tim enthusiastically says "Alright folks here we go" slays me every time. I've rewatched that part like 100 times and it makes me laugh every damn time.

[@hoover728]

The funniest thing is how everyone, including the Brothers, hate what's going on and could end it instantly but voluntarily capitulate to it as inevitable.

[@BioYuGi]

That amped up the humor for me, the idea that everyone could just put their hands down and lie to say they've been pointed at, but nobody does.

[@kyledouglas1394]

They also talk about the night and evening as if it were a late show but the guy in the audience mentions that it's before lunch.

[@JordanKoehler]

I’ve watched this probably 2 dozen times, but I only JUST noticed that Tim starts the show by saying they promise to point at everyone “by the end of the night tonight”. But the lady in the audience says “it’s almost lunch” before the show starts, meaning that this performance is meant to be several hours long.

It’s was most likely a song quickly composed just for this show and this skit.
