      I think what makes it so difficult is as soon as I saw the listing, I knew exactly what it was going to be, and I found the jokes weren’t particularly better than anything I could write. And I’m not a particularly good writer lol.

      It basically ended up being exactly what I expected it to be, an SNL sketch gone a little too long. The premise seems too much like it comprises the entire humor of the show, and I’m just not sure how they can keep that interesting.

        Inside Job’s take on the moon landing is this:

        The real reason America went to the moon is that JFK had already tried every sexual experience on earth, and he wanted to see what sex on the moon was like. “We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because I am hard.” Unfortunately, the Apollo astronauts formed a free love hippie sex commune on the moon, and the government had to hire Kubrick to fake the moon return.

        If you don’t think that’s funny then I don’t think Inside Job is for you. For me the thing carrying the show is how relatable and likeable Reagan is as a protagonist.
