I enjoyed this, despite the awful TikTok sound quality, because the presentation was very straight-ahead, and it was executed with intensity.

Bonus points for the Water Country ref, too.

Question: If the Green Goblin has taken over Water Country as part of a fiendish plan to lure Spiderman there and finish him off once and for all, is the coupon I got at a participating McDonalds still good for discounted admission, or should I just go south to Water Wizz instead?

Hot take: Willem Dafoe as The Green Goblin is the poor man's Gilbert Gottfried as himself

Better that than as Bobby Peru* from Wild at Heart.

*Oh, yeah right! Like, I'm gonna link that horrendous sight direct. Google it yourself, sickos!

I prefer "Sad Dad" William Dafoe: "It's good to have something to fall back on. That's why I became an electrician."

I am gratified to learn that although they were apparently short-lived and are now defunct (hello MySpace!), "The Deep Sound of Bobby Peru" was a band name.

This made my day! I'd love to see him do the entire Water Country jingle, now that it's stuck back in my head for the first time in 30 years.

The entire Water Country jingle should be a standard voice acting exercise.

I enjoyed this and, as a parent who has watched way too much Spidey and His Amazing Friends, would also love to make my purchases based on a JP Karliak endorsement.

Andrew Farmer is a delight. Please improve your day by enjoying his 31 Aunts for Halloween series.

I loved this and have been tormenting Alisun with it all around the house, randomly, with ads we both remember from our whole lives, if we were married she'd probably ask me stop or divorce me.

HAVE A COKE AND A SMILE, SPIDERMAN!!!!!!

he'd be wise to enlist Hydro Man's help.
