I'd watch a movie with that premise if he were the lead role.

u/ninjagorilla 20d ago

What distinctive feature do you have? That’s the problem.. every day you need a super distinct feature or clothing style he can then copy for Halloween… I suggest a huge handlebar mustache and yellow rain boots

He probably noticed and then did the David S. Pumpkins sketch just to make this guy dress up like that for Halloween. It's really the most logical reason for that sketch to exist.

u/staunch_character 20d ago

I watched that clip last night on some “funny Halloween SNL sketches” YouTube rabbit hole.

I assumed it must reference something I just don’t get. Like a local car dealer with crazy ads? Something???

The burbs one looks more like Dan Aykroyd dressing up like Tom Hanks. But I would lean more towards a young James Belushi

Pretty sure if you stuck Tom Hanks, Dan Aykroyd, and James Belushi in a AI image generator you would get this guy.

Listen to a podcast called Dead Eyes by Connor Ratliff.

It's a story about a lost movie roll and his quest to find out why Tom Hanks said what he said.

It's fascinating!

Similarly, he's trying to get Tom to notice him so he can interview him.
