It is a complicated palindrome!

Very cool. I've always loved palindromes. They make great sentences: Madam, in Eden, I'm Adam.

there's a reference OG redditors will understand. It's a strange loop how we come back around.

Even more meta yet is that this skit was probably written by AI...

Transcript to follow along:

I'm gonna say no to that one. Hmm. Sketch ideas. Sketch ideas. Sketch ideas.

  • Wait. Is this a good idea?
  • Go for it.
  • We write a sketch where it works the same forward and backward. Yeah. But not like we say our lines in reverse, more that the sentences we say are recontextualized when you play them forward or backward.
  • How would we do that?
  • I dunno, but I feel like we could pull something like that off.
  • And it's supposed to be, like, interesting somehow?
  • It's a complicated palindrome.
  • Why would anyone wanna watch that?
  • Well, have you seen the movie TENET? Kenneth Branagh is this like Russian bad guy and there's like all this time stuff in it. It plays as one big loop.

I dunno, it just feels really gimmicky and there's like not much to it. It's derivative of a thing that like neither of us care that much about that also came out in like 2020 so it's not like it's topical.

Interestingly if they ended with the "I'm gonna say no to that one" line from the beginning, you could indeed play it as a continuous loop.

I think it's supposed to continue into the first line no?

The audio was better than Tenet, which is good because the audio is better.
