Bluetooth Gag #4: Garry Shandling & Kevin Nealon
THE BLUETOOTH GAGS HAVE BECOME SELF-AWARE! This new Internet short from Shandling & Nealon really ratchets things up to the next level. The writers of this one seem to realize that all of America has seen this joke 50 times by now (hopefully here on my blog), so, instead of deciding that we’re all sick of it (which, of course, we aren’t!), they decide go the extra distance in trying to convince you that Shandling is talking to Nealon. “Why aren’t you talking to me?” Wow, that is some downright genius stuff, despite the fact that no one would ever say it over the phone.
Ultimately, I feel like this is a giant leap forward for BT gags. At one point, there are two guys on BT and one on his cell (I could do without that guy, to be honest… it’s BT or nothin’). It even features the historic first moment when the BT guy actually is talking to the other guy (“You’re going in and out… Kevin, you’re going in and out.”). I just thank the Lord that he chose me to be alive during this period in human history.
