This does not bode well.

Of course, this could all merely be for the purpose of creating some early-episode window dressing– quick cuts showing folks dressed like hot dogs and Vikings and Boba Fett– to ham-handedly drive home the notion that comedians are a zany lot who dress up like hot dogs and Vikings when they’re trying hard not to drag a razor across their wrist because they didn’t get that last spot at the open mike last week. Oh, those comedians are a complex bunch!
