Hi, guys.
Welcome to another Studio C React video.
Yes.
We're going to react to Lady Shadow.
Lady Shadow.
Which is a sketch that Matt wrote.
I--
I did.
Yeah.
So, I'm just remembering that "Lady Shadow"
was not the name that I intended for this character.
It is the first one I wrote--
Really?
But I wrote, "Lady Shadow,"
and then I put in parentheses, "We'll change the name later,"
and we never did.
That's too perfect.
Yeah.
This is my favorite part.
[chuckles]
I love that dummy.
Such form.
You just melt into the ground.
I know, right?
Um, so the idea--
The original idea for this--
One of our writers in our earlier seasons,
he came up with the idea for, um,
Captain Literally.
Oh, yeah.
Gregory.
Uh, who was with us in our Divine Comedy days
back in college.
So he pitched the idea of a woman giving birth in--
I think the original setting was in a restaurant.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and, uh...
And I thought,
"What if we raise the stakes a lot and maker her, like,
a secret agent who's pregnant instead?"
And so that's where Lady Shadow was born,
so to speak.
That's pretty awesome.
I mean, uh,
I definitely think it heightens it.
Right?
[both laugh]
I really had a hard time at the beginning of this sketch
and you can tell.
I half smile quite a bit.
Oh really?
And honestly, it was because--
Especially in the early days of filming the show,
I was not accustomed to people laughing.
[laughs]
So people laughed really hard when I came out,
and I was like, "Oh, they're laughing."
Mal, we're finally funny.
It, uh--
It really is a great look.
Yeah.
They made me very pregnant.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, you're about to pop.
But yeah, and--
'Cause the first season of Studio C,
we filmed everything twice,
so the crowd hated the sketch by the time we finished filming it.
"We're done with Lady Shadow!"
So it wasn't all the time, but...
Stacey's so great.
I like that the, uh--
The wood for the dock just falls over.
Those pillars are not very secure.
Well, you know.
Or Stacey's just massive.
That's just a--
[both laugh]
I feel like this would be you, though,
in a real situation.
You think that I'd be this bad at fighting?
Well, no, you'd be better at fighting,
but I think that you would still do it even if you were pregnant.
I think so too.
Although let's be honest--
I think that I would be shaped more--
I think that if I were really pregnant
and not just padded to look pregnant--
You'd show differently.
Yeah, I think I would show more in my entire body.
[both laugh]
That would just make you all the more powerful.
I look like probably like a giant slinky or something.
[both laugh]
I don't think you know how pregnancy works.
I understand it.
The baby's all over you.
It's inside your whole body.
In layers.
Mm-hmm.
I like that.
Um, this is my favorite part, though.
Where you can't reach the disc?
Yeah.
Oh, I gave it away.
Well, now it's ruined.
Sorry, guys.
Didn't mean to spoil it for you, but she doesn't--
In a moment,
you'll see she doesn't quite reach the disc.
We didn't have floors during this season, right?
Yeah, we didn't --
'Cause in later seasons,
you'll see that we had carpet or laminate that looked like wood.
I was trying to channel a cat on that one.
Oh yeah.
Very cat.
I was going for it.
I'm just watching Jason here.
His eyes are open.
I guess he died.
No, he's awake.
I think he's just playing the role.
Well done, Matt.
No, you well done.
No, thank you for writing it.
It was a fun one to do.
Thank you for watching, everyone.
We hope you enjoyed it.
