By In 2017, Ryan Gosling hosted “Saturday Night Live” and delivered one of its most famous sketches of the past few years – one tied to the marketing of James Cameron’s “Avatar”.
The three-minute sketch starred Gosling as a man obsessed with the fact that the “Avatar” logo used in the film’s poster and trailers utilised the common Papyrus font.
That obsession leads him down a dark rabbit hole, to the point of stalking the graphic designer outside his home. Pulling in over 22 million viewers on YouTube alone, the sketch drew multiple essays about the actual history (such as an interesting one at The Ringer).
It even drew comments from Cameron himself who told People: “If Ryan gets his panties in a bunch over it, then so be it”.
Returning for his third SNL hosting stint last night, Gosling has now delivered the sequel – “Papyrus 2” – which was now been released online following its NBC airing.
The nearly seven-minute short film tackles how “Avatar: The Way Of Water” changed its logo to something seemingly more distinct – only for Gosling’s easily triggered obsessive to discover it’s simply ‘Papyrus Bold’.
The piece is even more elaborate and far bigger scaled than its predecessor, check it out below:
