David Spade Goofs On David Caruso And His Stupid Sunglasses
Saw this a while ago.
Was talking with steve_from_hb about how utterly unwatchable CSI: Miami is, and how Caruso, in a departure from a proven formula, insists on making himself the only star of the show, as well as the too-perfect hero who really, really cares, but don't kid yourself mister, he'll kick your ass too.
And what's with him always walking off of camera on his exit line? He's decided to make the exit line mindnumbingly literal. "I'm going to nail you hard, Ricky," (he's always interrogating a punk named Ricky) and then whoosh! Walks out of frame. Every. Single. Time.
He's trying to say, "I am David Caruso. Your mere camera cannot contain me. Your petty framing cannot hold the awesomeness that is I."
And here, David Spade goofs on our favorite phone-mail Cassanova, Pat O'Brien, kissing David Caruso's ass. Or as David Spade says, "going balls-deep on David Caruso."
Is this a goof, or a real promotional short for CSI: Miami? Whichever, it illustrates everything that's so freaking annoying about the show. CSI has a cheeky macabre goofball realism to it; this piece of crap is nothing but Horatio Caine looking heroic, empathetic, and/or heroically empathetic.
I wish I could link Jay Mohr doing his David Caruso impression. He did it on Dinner For Five. Basically, the key to doing him is refusing to look at the actor you're having a dialogue with. Just look down, or away, and then, maybe, once in a while look up heroically, or empatheically, and/or heroically empathetically.
But I can't. The internet hates Jay Mohr.
