not actually that funny in practice but like it should have lowkey been hilarious... so im wondering how much of that comes from reading > watching the play, and also from how we as an audience in 2024 are used to fourth wall breaks and metaness and stuff. like when im reading its not funny. if i imagine the script being performed by the cast of community im potentially laughing my ass off you know?
