Yeah it basically dragged cosmic horror away from the stagnation of Lovecraft's legacy (no, tentacles and foreigners are not scary anymore) into contemporary postmodernism and absurdism.
A few minutes ago in the same episode, he was whining about volunteering there. His wife had to drag him there. He is lying to impress Elon Musk. That's why they are laughing at his hypocrisy and trying to impress Elon Musk.
Apparently the episode is entirely about Elon musk being this charitable figure doing everything out of the goodness of his heart while being a supergenius on par with the show's main cast.
All the comments are just gushing over Musk and taking the entire thing uncritically.
That doesn't seem any more :cringe: than the Simpsons saying that :melon-musk: was actually a quirky alien that was saving the world so he could return to his space home. :so-true:
Still it paints him as somehow superior to the show's already hamfisted misunderstood geniuses. It paints him as both intellectually and morally superior to actual scientists and most of the comments are gushing over this being both true and epically wholesome.
DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS IF YOU CLICK THAT LINK HOLY SHIT
level 5 cognitohazard in there jfc
I love that SCP has infected the internet. It's such a cool piece of collaborative media. There have been short films made and they don't even suck!

That's a good point. I hadn't thought about it that way!
