I actually prefer when they put a 37-year-old in pigtails when she has to play a teenager in a flashback and call it a day than all this digital retouching.
@ihatejoelkim That the "teenagers" in Derry Girls were played by actors in their 30s contributed to the comedy. The funniest teenagers on the planet are people in their 30s doing a spoof of teenagers. Comedy gold. More shows should do this.
@ihatejoelkim They did this on Seinfeld!
@ihatejoelkim 😭😭😭😭lowkey cringe i prefer a diff actor
@ihatejoelkim Keri in the flashback clips in the americans pilot
@ihatejoelkim “Oh in your youth you were made entirely out of Mattel plastic? My condolences.”
@ihatejoelkim This is how they should do it
@ihatejoelkim If anything, more shows should lean into the absurdity. Like the Married With Children episode where instead of hiring child actors for a flashback scene, they just dressed the adult actors as toddlers.
@ihatejoelkim LIKE THAT ONE SITCOM, I FORGOT THE NAME
