Endless Drive memes aside, Ryan Gosling is one of the most versatile working actors today. Who else could do both Blade Runner and Barbie? Maybe Tom Hardy, but still. A sketch from Gosling's appearance on SNL back in 2017, Papyrus, is regarded as among the show's best for the central performance and its willingness to ask the hard-hitting questions- like "why the hell is a major blockbuster's logo just a default Microsoft Word font?"
Just this past weekend, Gosling returned to SNL, and with that came a followup that explores how the Papyrus Guy – and the graphic designer who drove him to ruin – are doing seven years later. Spoilers: not great.
The digital-only short explores the implications of Avatar 2's logo this time, and even features the return of since-departed SNL alumnus Kyle Mooney (who is right up there with Tim Robinson in the 'Too Good For This Show' club, IMO). It's just as absurd, just as well-acted, and even just as poignant at the end. Just like with Avatar itself, the sequel might be better than the original.
