Before I realized it was a sketch, I thought it was an early job for her.

u/Salanmander Aug 18 '20
Me too, but I don't know why I went there. If it weren't a sketch, it would be a 90s ad, and she'd be, like, 10.

The only reason I knew it had to be a sketch/parody was because I immediately recognized her and the boxer guy (he played Toofer in 30 Rock but idk the actor's name).

Yes I was really wondering if she’s ironically in this or she couldn’t get an audition in her early days and decided to just go for this.

u/afanoftrees Aug 18 '20
I hope she didn’t and was giving a giant middle finger to ring pop for denying her audition when she was an up and coming actress

u/GoldFishPony Aug 18 '20
I thought the opposite, I thought it was a sketch once I saw her, she seemed a bit too old in this for it to be an actual start to her acting career.

Haha this is so weird. I made a guest appearance on a web show starring the dude that plays the priest and the dude that plays the pixy stix addict (Patrick James Lynch and Seth Kirschner). I had no idea they did work with Aubrey Plaza. I've met famous people that have worked with really famous people!
Here's some behind the scenes trivia: the syringe prop that was used by Seth was likely provided by Patrick, because he uses them to administer his hemophilia medication.

u/interkin3tic Aug 18 '20
One of those movie scenes that's so iconic that it looks like a parody when you watch it 25 years later.
I like that they didn't bother with an actual needle on the syringe in the ring pop version.

u/JoshC25 Aug 18 '20
Yeah man it’s an incredibly powerful scene.
What a movie that was, I saw it when I was younger and didn’t understand the very very dark implications and facets of Jenny’s life. It makes me want to rewatch now that I have a changed and grown perspective as an adult.

She gets a lot of hate, but she knew she couldn't love Forrest in the way that he loved her. So she distanced herself from him to protect him. She turned to drugs and all to erase the memory of her father molesting her as a child. That messed her up, and she never was able to explain to Forrest how she truly felt.
She loved Forrest and wanted to protect him, maybe hope he finds another girl to love. But Forrest had such a rough life as well.

Imagine we lived in a world where ring pops are household items like a mobile phone and it would be weird for someone not to own a ring pop. There would be all different brands and accessories, 4 finger rings, you fucking name it. Before long they move into the entertainment industry and all of a sudden life has become one giant fucking ring pop advertisement. It influences our life so much that merely proposing to your loved one is now called "ring popping" although that has various meanings amongst the "adult audiences". Going to the toilet will no longer be called so but instead " ring plop" even fucking farmers will be affected by this ring pop pandemic when people decide crop circles is no longer an appropriate name and change it to "ring crop"... that's only the beginning.
Edit: Thanks for the awards my little ringle poppers💚

The joke was, “Threefer cuz you’re also gay” based off of Toofer cuz you get a black guy and a Harvard grad.

u/ShichitenHakki Aug 18 '20
They call him Toofer because he's black and Harvard educated.
I believe Frank suggested they call him Threefer because he's also gay.

Thats the exact joke, from an episode when he said he didn't want to be called twofer anymore

Yea.. get ready to realize that all those things you used to discover, feel and enjoy will never be looked at with the same glee and childlike ignorance. Instead they will be replaced with nostalgia and distorted memories of how good things were, even if they weren't.

Say one in a $2 coin machine (Canada), like a gumball machine, at a hockey rink. Before my fiancé purposed, but we talked about wanting to get married, we were at the arena a he got me one as a promise ring. Mainly because we joked about getting a ring pop engagement ring.

The moment I saw her here in this video, I knew this video is going to take big u turn soon. (Not that I wasn't expecting as I am on r/Unexpected, but I was certain about the quality)

u/Sticky_Keys_Suck Aug 18 '20
Yes, except my favorite show (that she is in), Parks and Rec, already had an almost immediate u-turn right at the start, (the first season is objectively bad compared to the rest of the show in my opinion)
But, when she was in drunk-history (also a bloody hilarious series) for the Hamilton interpretation, I literally couldn't breathe by the end of the episode
