"I woke up this morning Sunday and my email was full," said font artist Chris Costello. The riff went over well - the video has already racked up 1.7 million views - but how does the creator of the Papyrus font feel? CBS actually tracked him down and asked. With news that Cameron's long-gestating Avatar sequels would finally begin shooting, you can see why Torres felt the need to vent his feelings ASAP (and with the help of a committed thespian like Gosling). The sketch comes from Julio Torres, who previously wrote last year's masterpiece "Wells for Boys," and as clearly not stopped thinking about Avatar. "Like a thoughtless child wandering in a garden, yanking leaves along the way." "He just highlighted Avarar, clicked the drop-down menu, and then he just randomly selected Papyrus," Gosling's character tells his therapist. ![]() And he can't shake the thin, scroll-like title treatment from his mind. In this guy's mind, there's no greater crime than typographical laziness. "Papyrus" starred host Ryan Gosling as an everyman stricken with a debilitating infatuation: he can't get over that the Avatar logo was just the word "Avatar" converted into the Microsoft-Word-issued Papyrus font. But clearly some people are thinking about it. The science-fiction epic Best Picture nominee and the highest grossing movie of all time, and yet between Marvel mega-franchises and the Netflix takeover, it's rarely brought up. Then there was the second-to-last sketch of the night, a pop culture fanaticism and obsession disorders that probably went over the head of anyone who hasn't thought about James Cameron's 2009 blockbuster, Avatar. Saturday Night Live's Season 43 premiere was filled with the staples: a Trump-skewering opening, a mock commercial, Keenan singing songs like a pro, and excuses for Kate McKinnon to act like a lunatic.
