Papyrus 2 - SNL

8.6M views · 2 years ago · other · evergreen

A Saturday Night Live sketch, the sequel to the 2017 original, about the Papyrus typeface and the fixation it provokes. It is comedy rather than instruction, and works only if you already know what Papyrus stands for.

HN brings it up whenever a font thread turns to Papyrus, as the funny follow-up to a sketch they already count as a classic.

“It is such a classic, it got a sequel”
