I was laughing throughout this video. Matt Damon is one of my favourite actors and I’ve seen all of the spoof clips Jimmy Kimmel has done of him.
Although this clip has been done for a talk show it structures itself like the introduction of a villain in an action or superhero movie. It builds the suspense by not specifically revealing Matt Damon until the second half of the video. Instead beginning with a close up shot of a tv playing a montage of the clips of Jimmy Kimmel insulting Matt Damon on his show. When it finally cuts to Matt Damon he is hidden behind a hood and is laughing evilly before announcing that he is going to take over Jimmy’s show.
The strength of this video is that although it ties into the running jokes of the show anyone can watch it and have a laugh. This is thanks to Matt Damon’s overacting and the way that the video has been cut in a cliched manner. Nevertheless it is very entertaining as it’s not often you see an actor take the upper hand over a talk show host.
