I have two. The first one I can’t even believe it happened because it feels like bad writing to contrive the perfect circumstances.

I was in a tiny local comedy thing and we did these Weekend Update-style reworkings of local news. Someone was working out a skit that involved a bear and asked if anybody had a bear suit they could borrow. Turns out, they were pretty sure someone else at the comedy theater, a guy named Juan, had one. Someone asked, “Would it fit me?”

I had to say it.

“Guys, Juan size fits all!”

The other was waaaay back, watching The Matrix at the student center in college. It had been out for a while and everybody had already seen it, but getting to rewatch it for a couple bucks on a big screen was worth it even for a poor college student. It comes to the scene where Agent Smith has Morpheus chained up and is interrogating him, then he describes the way humans consume and spread and destroy everything around them. Smith says, “Do you know what else does that?”

I call out from the crowd…

I’m not the kind to talk in movies, but again, I had to say it.

I regularly do something similar to the second one: depending on the vibe, when a Lord of the Rings rewatch is happening, I'll often answer Elrond's "Welcome to Rivendell" with "...Mr. Anderson."

It’s so hard to see Hugo Weaving as anything but Agent Smith. Elrond just looks like he’s gone undercover.

Especially during the Council of Elrond, when Merry and Pippin burst in and it cuts to his reaction shot. You almost expect him to spontaneously grow a pair of Ray-Bans out of his head.

And then pretty soon the whole Council is just Smiths.

These are both brilliant. I applaud you!
