link to Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon interview
I caught this on TV earlier and... I'm not familiar with the guest but, I don't understand why Fallon and the audience here are so... giggly. Where's the joke? It upsets me because I'm assuming the featured hoodie here is meant for people who suffer from anxiety and/or sensory overload.
But I'm figuring something flew over my head and I'm just not getting it, so I'm asking - what is the joke?
I don't get the joke here.

Re: I don't get the joke here.
i don't recognize an outside joke, people just think it's funny because the hoodie probably looks 'ridiculous' to them, and the concept of a relaxation hoodie is also 'ridiculous' to them. especially since its pink and pink is funny color to remove all seriousness a thing has xd
so yeah it most likely is people laughing at something that they have no concept of.

Re: I don't get the joke here.
Considering Jon Glaser mentions that he'd be wearing it in a season finale of some sort, I think it's just an advertisement for the hoodie. I looked up the actual hoodie and it is designed for athletes to relax in and costs over $250. The company probably gave them some hoodies so they would come up with a joke about it to entertain the audience with the unusual product and possibly cause them to do some research like I just did. Here it is if you want to see for yourself.
Re: I don't get the joke here.
Oh, thank you! I guess that makes a little more sense... though it doesn't seem that "unusual" of a product to me. I couldn't tell what name was written on the hoodie in the video, either, so it's cool to see the official description for it.

Fallon's laughing because he laughs at everything.
The crowd's laughing because they're cued to.
The joke is that doing the interview in that outfit and in that style subverts the expectations of both people dress in suits and talk to each other with the desk between them.

Re: I don't get the joke here.
do you kids really not know who john glaser is or what? you had to at least have caught him in parks and recreation if nothing else
there isn't anything deep about this like at all
jon glaser is doing a mockumentary comedy show called john glaser loves gear, where he's a fictionalized alter-ego version of himself that loves "gear" and gadgets as in equipment for sports, camping, pets, to space to anything while acting like a bizarre egocentric jerk. he does actually have a passion for gadgets, but if you want to understand the show's comedy purpose, read here: http://www.indiewire.com/2016/10/jon-gl ... 201740520/
basically he's the michael scott (the office) of gear
interview is a glorified promotion and people laugh at anything their favorite comedians do, cued or in real life watching for real

not trying to be... accusatory, butLamby wrote:do you kids really not know who john glaser is or what?
these seems kind of really... condescending
everyone has different interests in television or media in general, so not everyone is going to be familiar with actors who played certain roles
or could even just be bad at remembering names
it's Interesting? i guess, that it does kind of extend on that, but...

Re: I don't get the joke here.
i'd think at some point someone world at least search his name to see what he's about at the very least, idk
i mean i'm not saying that magically would answer the question, but best way to understand a comedian or artist is starting there, it's better than giving tsui an answer that isn't really the answer imo, that's all
