I remember the first time I saw this and cried. And the second... And the third... And so on...

The most tragic comedy sketch I have ever seen. The two are incredible.

Having had personal experience with someone who had Alzheimer's, I found this to be tragic enough already, even though it was initially being played for laughs.

Then in the last minute... that was like a punch straight to the stomach. Very well done, by both of them. You are bastards for bringing tears to my eyes, but VERY well done. That was an emotional impact entirely unexpected in a comedy show.

@psmylie

Well I am sorry this upset you, but this is perfectly acceptable comedy. -Many of my older relatives suffer/ed from Alzheimer's. The only thing we can do is laugh about it.

@SubtleChaotic

Please don't misunderstand, I don't disapprove, and I did see the humor of it at first. Tragedy and comedy are the opposite sides of the same coin, after all.

I just wanted to mention that, at the end, the emotional impact of their performance was incredibly intense to me, especially after they'd been playing for laughs. They really did a fantastic job of demonstrating the fact that these two men, as silly as they can be, really CAN act, and do a damned good job of it as well.
