Transcript

00:00Hi, I'm Andy Samberg, and today I'm going to caption some New Yorker cartoons.

00:09Oh my god, this is loaded for me. There's a lot of harps. I mean, it's the New Yorker.

00:14There's a good chance the readership will know my wife. One of the harps fell through the clouds.

00:21And if you've ever dealt with a harp, which I have, they're heavy as shit. So you wouldn't

00:29want that to land on you. That's something funny, getting crushed by a harp.

00:35Maybe whoever that lands on is replacing you, because then they'll be an angel.

00:42Who makes the best harps? Is it like Lion and Healy? Do you want to do a Lion and Healy ref

00:47in this? I'm out.

00:50I'll be real. If that lands on someone, they're about to be squished. They're about to get

01:09squished. I'll be real. If that lands on someone, they're about to get squished. Which is not

01:15like super clever, but I like imagining that guy saying it that way. That makes me laugh.

01:20It's a mime one. There's a woman being sort of poked at and messed with by two mimes on

01:30the street. There's a gentleman standing across from them. You could infer they're a couple.

01:37They might be brother and sister. You don't know. He has maybe one arm inside of a jacket

01:43for some reason. Maybe like, I can sense your judgment, but it's our thruple and it works

01:51for us.

01:52Let's just do that.

01:59All right. I can sense your judgment, but it's our thruple and it works for us.

02:08Two sharks. One has a person standing on them and the other one is looking and the one with

02:18the person on them is chatting up the other one, the other shark. I'm not going to overthink

02:23it. Just going in. I'm about to chop this bitch. How much is the joy? How much is the joy?

02:30of it that I had it immediately? I mean, not like they have a lot of options.

02:59I like that he's still into the transactional nature of it though. I don't know what he

03:05has to offer depending on what her answer is.

03:08Okay. It's a pile up of cars. It looks like maybe the person driving the top car is on the

03:17phone, but I can't quite tell honestly, but let's just assume they are on the phone. That'll

03:22help if we can all agree that they are on the phone. Could be like a Postmates driver and

03:29they're like, just, just climb up and grab your wings. Something like that. Yeah. I'm right

03:37outside. It's got to start that way. That's how it always starts. I think I'm right outside.

03:44Yeah. I'm right outside. Just climb up and grab your wings. It was harder than I thought. I think

04:03I did like B minus material, which I'll take any day. I feel happy with that result. Yeah.

04:10B decir, right there.

04:17You can see this one in 4.5 blocks. I mean .

04:22Yeah.

04:24Yeah.

04:25Yeah.

04:26Yeah.

04:28Yeah.

04:29Yeah.

04:31It's a little a bit of...
