Twin Peaks - THIS IS WHAT WE DO IN THE FBI

[@nobodyspecial675]

That actor must have had so much fun. He reads that he has to snap in the script and practises something realistic, then Lynch has to say "No, crazier" like 10 times before he finally reaches this.

[@himwiththehair8118]

These two are in a sitcom all their own we never get to see.

Ren & Stimpy

[@moonriver2026]

This is the weirdest and funniest scene in the entire season and I still don't know why. I just laugh at how weird it is

[@pleggli]

I continued to laugh for about a minute after the scene had ended. To me it represents a common silly situation which many tv-series are guilty of due to sloppy writing. Scenes like having two professional colleague's in a room but for some reason one of them still needs to describe the basics of their work process which both of them very well should know. Lynch starts by going that route and then suddenly breaks away highlighting the absurdity of such scenes actually playing out as we as a TV audience at some level are expecting. It's funny because it's playing with our expectations on multiple layers, or something very similar..

[@NemoEtNihil]

The season is full of odd little references to Lynch's past work. Look up the "Okay, Paul!" scene from Eraserhead. I guarantee you this was a reference to that.

[@pimentocheese618]

Well given that his aide, who works for the goddamned FBI, asks "how are we going to find the right one?" I'm guessing this isn't the first major dumb thing he's said. I mean.... THIS IS WHAT WE DO IN THE FBI *slams desk angrily*

That's why I love David Lynch. Scenes in his movies can go from normal to terryfying, disturbing or absolutely hilarious in a heartbeat.

[@cagneybillingsley2165]

twin peaks and the x files are the only reason to like the fbi. in real life they're just a political tool invented by hoover and they continue to be such to day

To be fair, this is not the first time Wilson has pulled this shit.

[@BryanMack]

Funniest part of anything in the Twin Peaks world, I laughed so hard, then recorded it on my phone, watched it 5 times, and couldn't stop laughing. Here I am a few weeks later watching it again over and over again.

[@julian16xbit]

See you on the other side, Mr. Lynch

[@blabber1975]

Absolutely brilliant, the whole series was The work of a genius and I sincerely mean that. Just breathtakingly good

[@BIacklce]

This is what we call a stylistic callback to eraserhead

[@Eli62104]

Imagine you're an aspiring FBI agent and get the chance out of the blue to speak to the head of the FBI and you try to prepare yourself for this rare opportunity. Then, you pick up and he just yells every at the top of his lungs. Not cause he's angry with you. That's just how he normally talks. Imagine.

[@cookiedoughman45]

Hilarious scene, this felt so much like a scene right out of the first two seasons

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

This made me laugh out loud alone in my room when I saw it for the first time

[@insanelyheinousbeefer]

based on the absolutely bizarre delivery of "yooOOUUUU?!!", i'd like to imagine they made the actor do like 20 takes until it just devolved into something strange

"Put caution in the shotgun seat" is such a badass line

[@HudzunDunDunDun]

i love how robotic his table slams are

[@tf2whackyengineer]

I would love to see this scene directed. "Wilson... how many times have I told you... This is what we do..." David Lynch: "No, make it more hammy." ""No, even hammier." "Listen, I want it so hammy, it can't go near an orthodox synagogue."

[@RyswagPlays]

From what I can tell it's a homage to EraserHead. But in my head canon the actor did a joke take and Lynch just loved and used it.

[@shortwavespy]

I think I love it because it reminds me of Chris Farley.

[@barbaralobato3180]

The man yelling is Stan Rizzo from Mad Men!

[@bubbledreams6382]

I keep looking at the word "Return" in the description and in my suggestions, and I keep thinking it says Rectum. This is what Eraserhead has done to my mind.

I'm kind of confused. Is actually unprofessionals in organisations such as FBI ? Weired. 🙄

[@TouchTheGarlic]

If you’re coming to a show like Twin Peaks with any sort of expectation of realism, then you’ve fundamentally misjudged the situation. The show’s defining characteristic is surrealism.

[@അതുൽഭരതൻ]

@@TouchTheGarlic thats true. But this scene seemed like a normal one. That's why I said it. There are also many movies and series that tries to portray the governance system, realistically. So I thought there might be truth in it.

[@PCRevolt]

@@അതുൽഭരതൻ this scene is funny specifically because it's wildly unrealistic

[@dissuede6949]

​@@PCRevoltAnd somehow I can still imagine this happening in some office, somewhere in the states. Some stressed and fed up bossman absolutely losing it with one of his slightly dumb, albeit fresh on the force collegue. 😅 It just seems like this small and insignificant slice of pie.. err I mean life. It just happens all around us, all of the time. Here; captured beautifully without any context, making It seem weirder than It actually is.
