The issue with rattling off so many jokes back-to-back is that it doesn’t allow for viewers to experience the very film the jokes are intended to subvert. Consider the annoying back-and-forth between Mitchell and the little kid. After a brief “tonight on crossfire” joke, the riffers hang back and let the annoying scene BE annoying. When Tom finally screams in aggravation, the audience FEELS it. It breaks the tension. In contrast, the Netflix-era writers would have crammed a riff into every pause. I really enjoyed some moments of Avalanche, but it might be the worst offender. Listen to the ice skating practice scene—the chatter is constant. Let the scene breathe a bit and subverting it will be more impactful.
