I like how the 2 guys at the beginning are just false protagonists.

[@elroma7712]

@ihate names maybe you're right a false protagonist is way more developed.

[@mr.oddlyfox6934]

i would classify them as supporting roles to the television, which i would say is the framing device. almost a pun.

[@Mecha_Hitler]

They're not false protagonists. You see them again at the end.

[@Ken-ru6or]

@@Mecha_Hitler 1. No you don't. 2. Even if you do the sketch is not about them, although it is set up like it is initially. They are false protagonists.

[@Mecha_Hitler]

@@Ken-ru6or you are not very smart, I hope this helps

[@bigfootsburneraccount9160]

The best part is how he looks out the window to check if the earthquake had stopped

[@RareHarmony]

I thought so too.

[@MajesticSkywhale]

"go check if there's any earthquake outside"

[@cypherusuh]

It's quite helpful if there's long-ass pole outside. Makes em much more obvious if the earthquake did stopped or it just lessen

[@theblode1337]

a wave of buildings suddenly ceasing to shake, cascading across the land

[@juliettest.laclaire8931]

I love how the earthquake barely matters by the end of the sketch but is absolutely integral to the punchline

[@MsFelinaFox]

I love the commentary for this sketch because when they were writing it, the earthquake went on so long it pretty much just becomes a different sketch

I still can't get over the fact that we now have WKUK in HD. I feel like an 1890s Parisian recoiling in horror at the Lumiere brothers movie of a train coming into the station.

[@misterdeedeedee]

i want someone to stabilize the all of the shots so we can watch everyone just randomly bouncing around throughout the sketch

[@loveandpeace9908]

I like that even though it's fake, I legitimately feel a sense of relief when the earthquake stops.

[@brandonthesteele]

I think that's the theme of the sketch, relief after dealing with a chronic annoyance. The earthquake made everyone really cranky and on edge, and when it stopped, everyone basically laughed off the whole indecency trial.

[@zombienova6]

I live in an area with hurricanes and I feel like this when the power goes out for hours or days and suddenly comes back on. It’s the best.

[@TheAndrewj96]

The ending to this sketch is unusually wholesome for WKUK.

[@bertfromseasamestreet]

Fan theory: The sofa moves during the earthquake and it is facing the opposite direction as the TV. Because the earthquake has been going on for so long, it can be assumed that the sofa has been spun around in the two day process. It hasn't been fixed yet because the quake is still going on and it would spin again.

[@bloodcountess81]

Genius! It always bothered me that the TV was behind the couch, but your logic is flawless!

[@ethanfaux5748]

Its those little things you notice after watching a wkuk sketch for the 1,000,000,000th time that makes ya laugh for no reason, like the fact the tv they watch the news on is behind the couch and table lol

[@Algarath]

My favorite detail is that the lipstick of the news lady is smeared all over the place cause it was shaking when she was putting it on.

That was a subtle joke-the defendant says he swore because the light hit him in the head. Then the juror says "fudgey stuff" instead of swearing when the light hits him in the head. Then the defendant's lawyers mutter "well, this isn't looking good."

The D&D series is actually probably a better sketch troupe starter tutorial than it is a fantasy role playing session. Just do what Trevor suggests you do in that, and you'll be on your way to sketch troupe gold faster than WKUK arbitrarily heel turns on an OwlBear.
