Snake5555555555 10/27/18 4:34:22 PM #209:	Okay I think everything is back to normal now. 41. Teddy Perkins (Atlanta episode) (20.5 points) Nominated by: Johnbobb (3/6 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06WBWEeoGFk" data-time=" Importance: 4.5 Fear: 7 Snake: 9 In probably one of the greatest stand-alone episodes in television history, Donald Glover analyzes and examines racism, masculinity, and abusive parenting housed in a short-form psychological horror tale that simply chills to the core as soon as the titular Teddy Perkins shows his unsettling plastic-looking face to Darius and the audience. The comparisons to Get Out and Michael Jackson write themselves, but I think there's so much more to it here. Let's start at the beginning. Darius heads to Teddy's mansion to pick up a free piano with colored keys, and gets invited in to stay for a couple of minutes before hauling it off. before the episode even gets underway with the real psychological stuff, Teddy offers Darius a huge ostrich egg which is a seriously disgusting scene, but also represents the cracks in Teddy's persona and tales as well as his psyche early on, while also showcasing Teddy's twisted upbringing as the symbol of fertlity is defaced and shattered. Through pictures we can see Teddy used to have black skin, shows how far away from his old self Teddy used to be. Teddy locking up his brother Benny in the basement shows not only his bitterness to his family members, but also represents Teddy locking up another part of his self, the parts he loathes and wants to keep hidden. Much like Get Out, Teddy puts on false airs and becomes something he's really not. Teddy Perkins is also a much more cynical piece than Get Out is; though Get Out ends on a positive note, Teddy Perkins can only escape his situation with even more violence which perpetuates his vicious cycle even more. And this all comes still despite Darius' very inspiration speech towards the end which is full of optimism and hope. It all just goes to show that sometimes our personal darkness is simply inescapable. There's so much more than I can even begin to decipher here, as Teddy Perkins is a seriously deep episode of television, and one that works as both allegory and simple Gothic horror story, as the best horror tends to do. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://imgur.com/a/OcdhKKR <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:911275764] in Snake Rank...
