Painfully dead-on.

In our defense, when New York does a sketch comedy show, the underlying message is “look how superior we are to everyone else”. “I’m Chevy Chase and you’re not”, etc.

When LA does reality shows (which are just sketch drama with improv elements), the underlying message is “look at me look at me look at me look at me look at me affirm me”

And when Portland does a sketch comedy show? The underlying message is “Are we being ridiculous? I’m a little concerned we’re being ridiculous.”

(I was going to start “when Canada does a sketch comedy show…”, but most sketch comedy shows are actually Canadian in disguise.)
