- What a perfectly timed thematic video.
(groans) The scheduling turns me on.
(hooves clacking) (unicorn neighing)
What up everyone?
It's your girl, Superwoman, and the Emmys just happened.
And if it's your first day on the planet
and you don't know what the bloody hell the Emmys are,
it's an award show for TVs and stuff.
TV, not for TVs, Samsung doesn't win.
It's an award show for TV actors, is that what it is?
Excellence in American primetime television.
I know what I'm talking about, hello Hollywood.
It's very prestigious, very glamorous,
aka I wasn't invited.
But I have been to quite a few award shows,
and I've even had the privilege and honor
of being nominated for some categories.
Mm-hm, yep, like best cameo for a dog.
Shut up, zoomed in Lily!
I'll come and smack you so hard imma feel it from back here!
And let me just say,
as someone who has experienced this firsthand,
being nominated for an award
and sitting there as they announce the winner
is so uncomfortable.
I want you to imagine this.
You can win or lose at any second
and you have to be equally prepared for both scenarios.
Now, if you win, it's not as big of a deal
because your natural reaction is probably gonna be perfect.
Oh my (gasps), oh my God.
(wheezes) Oh my God.
That's fine, but if you lose,
you can't actually react how you feel, don't play yourself.
Don't be dumb.
You're an actor, and in this moment
you need to act better than ever before, fam.
You can't be caught slipping like this.
- [Announcer] And the winner for best comedic scene is
Donald Glover! (applause)
(claps bitterly)
And the winner for best dramatic scene is
Donald Glover! (applause)
And the winner for best female supporting role
is Donald Glover! (applause)
- So here's how to properly lose at an award show.
And trust me, I have lots of experience.
Number one, the nod.
That's right, just nice and easy, okay.
We wanna start off slow,
before we try more advanced techniques.
It's important to not go too intense.
Don't slip a disc.
- [Announcer] And the award for best actor in a TV series
goes to Donald Glover! (applause)
(loud buzzing)
- Also, make sure you're nodding in the right direction.
You're not a walrus.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(loud buzzing)
- One or two nice nods does the trick.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(light chime)
- Wow, what grace.
Number two, why is my bandana slipping off?
Oh my God, you know why?
Because your performance is slipping, okay.
Number two, the clap.
That was improv.
Slightly more advanced than the nod,
the clap implies not only are you a decent human being,
but you're coordinated.
You know what I mean.
Make sure you clap several times,
not just once or twice, or you'll seem sarcastic.
- [Announcer] And the award for best actor in a movie
goes to Donald Glover! (applause)
(unenthusiastic clapping)
(loud buzzing)
- And remember not to clap as if
you're arguing with your ex.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(flippant clapping)
(loud buzzing)
- Three or four claps is where it's at.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(steady clapping) (light chime)
- I know this sounds stupid,
but you'd be surprised how hard it is
to clap like a normal human being
when there's so many cameras on you.
You wanna look normal, not like you're making rotis.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(palms slapping rapidly)
- Once you've mastered the clap,
it's time to move onto number three, words of support.
Now the key here is to look genuinely happy,
and not fake and plastic.
You need to convince the entire audience
that the person that won is your best friend
and you are ecstatic for their victory,
even if their performance was mediocre or whatever.
Now it's important to keep this tame.
- [Announcer] And the award for best director goes to
Donald Glover! (applause)
- Yes!
Go Donald!
(shrill yelling) (loud buzzing)
And you don't wanna whisper.
It looks sketchy and TMZ will run with it.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(loud buzzing)
- Subtle and compassionate.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
- Well deserved, well deserved.
(light chime) So well deserved.
Well deserved.
And pro-tip, you wanna keep saying these words
until the camera is on you, okay.
Because if the camera doesn't catch you saying these words,
did you even say them?
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
- Well deserved, so well deserved.
Well deserved, well deserved.
So well deserved, well deserved.
For sure, so well deserved.
Amazing, amazing job.
Number four, (sniffling) happy tears.
Now this is a little more advanced,
but if you got nominated for an Emmy (coughs)
you can handle it.
Now this choice shows you're bigger than this moment,
you're bigger than this nomination.
You are bigger than this award show.
It shows that you have a deep appreciation
for the craft of acting.
You are crying, why?
Because art.
Don't go too overboard.
- [Announcer] And the award for best writer goes to
Donald Glover! (applause)
(hoarse wailing)
(loud buzzing)
- And remember, you still need to look good.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(guttural bawling)
(loud buzzing)
- A single tear is the way to go.
- [Announcer] Donald Glover! (applause)
(light chime)
- And you want to make sure
you prepare in advance accordingly
with some waterproof mascara, okay.
Don't be an animal, this is a classy event.
Number five, combine all.
Why is my banda--
You know what?
Now it's time to prove to everyone
why you were nominated for an Emmy,
by combining all of these things
into one showstopping performance.
- [Announcer] And the award for best music video goes to
Childish Gambino! (applause)
(claps gently) (light chiming)
- Oh my God, what a showstopping performance!
If only you were Donald Glover but alas, you are not.
Don't worry, there's always next year,
where Donald Glover will also win.
But yo, at least you're invited.
(deep thud)
(delicate twinkle)
Oh, so this video's not on the trending page
and another video is?
(claps forcefully) Well deserved.
If you liked this video, give it a big thumbs up.
My last video's right over there, make sure you watch it,
