    I love that she doesn't understand the concept of a flat ceiling, but she knows what an a-frame is

      She’s okay with a roof, but a ceiling is just suspicious.

    I'd like to say when I watched this episode, I missed the prompt at the beginning of the scene and simply thought Jess had lost her mind.

    Ross' expressions at 3:28 when he says "And this is why I have rigged the ceilings" is so fucking funny to me. The wide grin, the raised eyebrow, the slow turn towards Jess, like genuinely it's one of my favorite moments of this show.

    "normally we broadcast from a barn" is so underrated like WHY A BARN WHAT DO YOU MEAN

    • @goodpeople25
      @goodpeople25 8 місяців тому +8

      3 months for someone to point out a barn doesn't typically have flat ceilings and that's why she prefaced it by saying she lives in an A-frame.
      And since they report on cornhole a barn is absolutely a suitable location.
      That someone is me.

      @@goodpeople25 thank you lmao. yeah i understood the a-frame part i more just meant comedically a professional news team just shacking up inside a barn was so absurdly funny
      i guess i was more thinking of this professional cornhole as like on a huge football field, in my head? so i wasn't imagining barn i was imagining a huge production team with in the back rooms of a football stadium.
      so when jess said barn i laughed because in my mind i was thinking the cornhole players are in the city in a huge stadium but for some reason the newscasters are in a barn. i'm gonna keep thinking that because i can't stop laughing over it 😭

      I just think it's impossible to a musical theatre nerd to sing the phrase "Look down, look down" to any other tune. It's instinct, and trying to go against it breaks the matrix,
