Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on this one. I’m torn.

On one hand he is free to wear what he wants and feels comfortable in to wherever he wishes however, it also seems disrespectful to show such contempt to the Oscars and, to his colleagues who have all bothered to make a huge effor

Even if I knew nothing about the past events it's obviously comedic OP.

How can you think this was serious?? It's clearly part of the show. Confused

MaggieBsBoat · 03/03/2025 08:01

I honestly think the OP is a DM journo wanting us to do some work for them on a Monday morning

Babsgranddaughter · 03/03/2025 08:02

Obviously scripted (and as said by PP you can hear his mike rubbing against his clothes) but a bit subtle to be satire, bit odd with Conan laughing and just... not very funny.

FridayNight1975 · 03/03/2025 08:07

I’m shocked anyone thought this wasn’t scripted.

Conan and Sandler are very good friends and what Adam Sandler wears to events has always been a joke.

FridayNight1975 · 03/03/2025 08:10

OP. you also realise that the the set didn’t fail during the Ben Stiller presentation,
that was a gag too.

MiniCooperLover · 03/03/2025 08:12

I would say it was a set up and he was in on it. He wasn't up for any awards, he was sat at the end of a row and his wife wasn't sat with him so it made it very easy for him to 'storm' out?

Of course it’s scripted and a dig about president Zelensky not wearing a suit to the Oval office. As if anyone would turn up dressed like that to the oscars.

Whoosh…..

It was a clear “fuck you” to Trump. 🤣🤣

You understand this was a very pointed (and rather nicely executed) dig at Trump and chums/show of support for Ukraine?

I can't figure out if you do know that and are just being disingenuous?

AliasGrace47 · 03/03/2025 08:21

It's like when I thought Kirsten Dunst, one of my favourite actresses, had been insulted by Amy Schumer. Lots of other Dunst fans did, too... But it was all scripted.

Sunrisers · 03/03/2025 08:22

Just a heads-up for anyone interested—local indie cinemas are screening No Other Land if you’d like to catch it on the big screen. Plus, Channel 4 is airing it tomorrow. They just won an Oscar!

Oh OP,............mate...........😂

Samung · 03/03/2025 08:27

It was scripted to comment on the Oval Office fiasco and in my opinion didn't really work. Very wooden too.

I thought it was deliberately wooden.

Never heard of Adam Sandler so not bothered.

Yeah, you can't spot a "joke"

KenAdams · 03/03/2025 08:32

I think this has gone over the heads of Mail readers

The last 30 years living under a rock must have been cosy!

Why do people post this sort of thing? Do they not value their time more?

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 03/03/2025 08:35

Adam Sandler sounded very ‘throaty’ there. Is that his usual voice? I’ve never heard him speak before, he sounded like I do when I’m off sick!

I answered the question, that's all. I like my rock, thanks.

A skit is a riff on something that's already been performed or viewed.
A sketch is original material.

Isn’t this a dig at the twat who told off Zelensky for not wearing a suit in the Oval
Office?

Edited

Absolutely! It was an obviously scripted part of the show.
