Ok, so there was a scene on the OC where a character got shot and killed and that “mmm whatcha say” song was used in the soundtrack

and then SNL did a parody of the scene because it was ridiculous

and now, years later, we’re all still laughing at the same joke because it’s hilarious.

I HAD NEVER SEEN THE ORIGINAL

I THOUGHT SNL HAD COME UP WITH IT

What was the director of the OC thinking?! Like, yeah, Imogen Heap was pretty big at the time, and “Hide and Seek” is a fantastic and incredibly unique song (one woman, alone, with a little autotune. That’s the entire 4:30 of that song, and surprisingly it works very well), and a very emotional one. I would even say it COULD work in the original scene, but it doesn’t. Something about it feels off. I don’t know if it’s the framing, the way the slo-mo is used, but something about it just reads as “funny” when it should read as “HOLY SHIT I JUST FUCKING SHOT SOMEONE!”
