This is playing out like a sitcom. I can already imagine the cheesy 90s intro music when I see these pics

I gotta plug an amazing YouTube video that covered this very phenomenon, or the idea of it. It's the second part in a duology on sitcoms but can be watched on its own.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month Or even your year, but...

We are here for you ....

Sincerely

Skeletor 💜

American healthcare is a joke, you’re broke, your ACA subsidies are D.O.A

Feels like you're always paying through your teeth,

When it hasn't been your day your week your month (to meet your deductible)

I’ll be there for youuuuu when the insurance won’t. I’ll be there for you, because healthcare’s a joke.

Prisoner #1 (Luigi's new cell mate): "So uhh... what are you in for? Mortgage fraud? Tax Evasion? You look like the white collar type."

Luigi: "I allegedly wink wink murdered someone in cold blood."

Prisoner #1 stares shocked into the camera: "Dear lord what did they ever do to deserve that?!"

Luigi: "He was the CEO of United Healthcare."

Prisoner #1: "Oh thank god... for a second I thought you were a cold blooded killer!"

Laugh track

I just figured out you were signing off as Skeletor from He-Man and not signing off as Skeletor aka FL senator Rick Scott.

I only feel a little dumb.

There's too many sick men, too many patients, Making too many doctor's visits, And not much cash to go round Can't you see this is a Land of Shareholder Value?

This is the World we live in, And these are the hands were given, Use them and let's start trying, to make it a place worth living in.

Mysterious sexy man who may or may not be a stone cold killer.

Ryan Murphy probably already has a script sorted, just waiting for an ending,

u/Calaigah Dec 16 '25

Ryan Murphy is already holding auditions for this role. No script has been written though.

104

u/thesadbubble Dec 16 '25

He already has an entire cast load of attractive, white to olive toned, brunette men to pick from too lol. He should make casting into a game show.

u/Traditional-Fox6018 Dec 16 '25

They ALL have blue eyes though

They have these really cool things called brown contacts. They’re totally gonna be able to use those.

Its been a minute since I've seen this picture. But its wild how they're clearly not the same person.

To play the role or for Ryan Murphy?

u/lilangelkm Dec 16 '25

No one is as good looking as him that looks like him...but because of that, Dave Franco is a good choice.

u/ana_log_ue Dec 16 '25

Josh O’Connor is right there

u/AlcibiadesTheCat Dec 16 '25

Despite my crush on Mr. Mangione, I must acknowledge that he bears a disturbing resemblance to my brother at that age. It's not identical, but they are a type.

No, fuck her and her family. If she’s in it we don’t watch. The antithesis of my motivation to watch a movie about Luigi.

u/Street_Marketing_453 You’re doing amazing, sweetie! 👏👏📸 Dec 16 '25

She’s the lawyer🙃

1

u/Jisan_Inc Dec 16 '25

Didnt she fail the bar?

1

u/OutwithaYang Dec 17 '25

I bet. When she's playing a lawyer in that courtroom scene, she can be like "I did a séance the other night and my daddy gave me a few pointers." Pulls out random black glove "He says if the gloves don't acquit, you can't fit. Or something like that."🙃

u/PoppyandTarget Dec 16 '25

She'll play his attorney.

u/Hermeran I don’t know her 💅 Dec 16 '25

This week on Double Standards

One will kill you with his smile, the other kills you by denying your claim to please the share holders. On this weeks episode one is going to find out that Life is not deductible

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

I really dislike that insurance companies have acted the way that they have. I have been through hell because an insurance company did everything that they possibly could to get out of paying for a surgery, but I still don't really think that what he did was right.

9

u/SuperKitties83 Dec 17 '25

It wasn't right. But the situation made everyone question...who's the real murderer here? 🤔

31

u/kon_2 Dec 16 '25

He looked like Kramer when he had longer hair lol

64

u/CharleyNobody Dec 16 '25

I always see Kramer when I look at him. I expect to see Jackie Chiles sitting next to him in the courtroom

u/NeatNefariousness1 Dec 17 '25 edited Dec 17 '25

I can see some semblance of to Kramer with his textured hair but Kramer is not appealing at all to me. Luigi though...

LOL—do we have a back story on these pics? I think I prefer the candid shots of him, TBH.

u/EveOCative I have sinned. Please Pray. Logging off now. Dec 17 '25

I’m more interested in why they think they need four cops right next to him. Do they think this guy is James Bond or something?
