    i adore the self awareness tommy shriggly lacks. he is a self-improvement, self-help, mental health influencer (of nebulous influence?) who built his life through luck, nepotism, and overt harm to people around him, and on top of it all his signature catchphrase is to get people to APPLAUD HIM. not "give yourself a clap!", no, TOMMY needs the claps, TOMMY needs your approval

    At the risk of taking this comedy sketch too seriously, Tommy is like, literally every male self-help guru ever: grotesque physique, clearly miserable, self-congratulatory, horrifying past, and only successful due to luck and lucky connections, but yet thoroughly convinced he has the meaning of life
