137796, it's 100 percent schtick that comes from a 100 percent real place

the schitick is a persona (which is not real)
used to make a politcal point (which is real).
it's so fucking meta.
like in the thriller video...
when he starts off in the car, and you think that's what's happening.
but then it is revealed that's a movie,
and you think what's happening outside the theature
is what's happening.
but then it's revealed that that's a dream,
and you think what's happening the next day is what's happening.
and then the credits roll in a flashback to footasge you just saw,
and you think... it's all a video... none of it is happening.
but then that scary guy comes up from your nightmares in the last frame of the video...
and it resonates in a very much real place of terror deep in your heart...so much so that you really get the impression that the "not quite a joke" scariness of the "funk of 40 thousand years" was the real message all along.
so even if the video is a fiction,
the point Mike was trying to make comes across loud and clear.
"i'm not like other guys."
