MODERATORS
Almost looks like they are trying to imitate Jesus' posture in the shroud of Turin, but the shroud was drawn that way just to cover Jesus' penis, so that they would not have to have it displayed. When an actual dead body is forced into that position, it just shows how unnatural it is.
You’d think they could have gotten a better mortician for the job. He looks weirdly stiff, kinda stuffed in there, and his face doesn’t look right(from this angle, anyway).
I'm a mortician and all we have been talking about is how shit of a job they did. We call those pancake hands because they're flat. They're also hovering, which is why they look so unnatural. They didn't use any dye, which is why he's that horrible color. It's called formaldehyde gray. I guess maybe dye is left out for some religious reason? But there is absolutely no excuse for those hands.
We all assume it was done by some old guy who only does embalmings once every 10 years, or however often a Pope is dying.
I'm a former mortician. The pope's body will be displayed in an open casket for a very long time so it practically needs to be pickled. That level of preservation comes at the cost of the body becoming as stiff as a peice of furniture and the skin having a greyish tone.
I thought they just gave it a fresh coat of paint at this point.
Weird way to respect the deceased.
He specifically did not want to be on display like this so there's no respect being applied what so ever.
I thought he looked like an anatomy specimen. It's kinda freaky seeing that outside of a lab.
It's because he's dead
and his face doesn’t look right
It's like they just left him there.
His hands are even floating above his body, not even resting.
He's casting heal serious wound.
Does the embalming fluid have to get blessed beforehand?
Only The Great Organist Dr. Phybes gets the blessed embalming fluid.
They should have used a plumbus
I was gonna play devils advocate here and say maybe they didn’t have one but … everyone has a plumbus
Launch down a chute 😂
I'll watch anything with Nate Bargatze in it. I actually wanted to vote for Mary's idea as well.
I mean he was dying to get up there
I hadn't watched SNL in a while. Funny joke, but the acting was pretty cringe. Do they always read off the cards so obviously now?
Well, now I want my body to go down a water slide after I die.
Straight into the flames, high speed cremation
If there aren’t water slides in heaven I don’t wanna go
If they don't have water slides in heaven, it's not heaven.
i saw a documentary about this called The Running Man (1987).
LMAO
his hands look fake in this picture. like they are printed jpegs of his hands on poster board poking out of his sleeves
Hands pointing down to where he wants the alter boys.
Are you a Trevor Moore fan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TxjrHPHypA
Damn! That one is new to me. Freaking great! Weird thing that I had to use a VPN to watch it. Apparently blocked in Canada of all places.
I guess he doesn't have to really cross his legs anymore. The rigor will take care of that intrusive water.
