00:00I might have quite a weird opinion of it.
00:03I mean, it's only a thing which I've realized in the last few movies,
00:10the last few years.
00:11But I think when I was younger and I started getting into movies,
00:15I remember going into school, and if there was a big movie out,
00:19everyone would remember individual lines
00:21and do the imitation of the individual lines.
00:23And I felt like that had completely gone from culture for years and years.
00:28And I suddenly wrote, it's been replaced by memes.
00:32And I quite liked that.
00:33I always really liked it from Jim Carrey movies and stuff like that.
00:36I loved that.
00:37I used to know the whole of The Mask, Off by Heart,
00:42and everybody would do it, and Austin Powers and all these things.
00:44Everybody would be imitating these lines.
00:49And it's a tone of line, I think,
00:52which you can kind of tell when you become sensitive to it
00:58what's going to become a meme and the kind of delivery of it.
01:01Not always, but sometimes.
01:03And I think there's something about Primetime,
01:05which I could just capture.
01:07It's definitely to do with the show as well.
01:11I think both how Chris Hansen delivered the lines,
01:15and he obviously had signature bits as well,
01:17but I don't even think he realized the kind of catchiness of what he was doing.
01:22But then the weight of 20 years of community and fan service to the show,
01:28who've elevated these somewhat innocuous lines to mean almost anything.
01:33And it's kind of fun to...
01:37Yeah, just kind of...
01:39I don't know.
01:40You can kind of repurpose them again.
01:42And I think also you can never tell the audience how to feel about what you're doing,
01:50but you can hopefully give them stuff to be attached to.
01:54And I think the more attached they are to a movie,
01:58the more rewatchability it has
02:00and the more kind of endurance the movie has, I think.
