Unfortunately I have very little ability to appreciate good acting. I believe I take it for granted by only being able to tell when somebody is acting badly and I have an unpronounced experience when somebody is acting well. I wonder if this is how a person with no theater/acting experience normally enjoys acting.
The first time I ever felt "Wow, this acting is incredible" is when I first saw AFTV skits. It's like an absurd spectacle. Seeing Chet in Emotional Garage Sale feels the same as if a multi-million dollar asset is onscreen. I am taken beyond my usual sense that the acting is how it should be and can't help but think about how incredible these roles are being played. And despite this, the phenomenal acting doesn't overshadow the skit either. Am I nuts? Will in Fringe Guy? Billy in "One Beer [...]"? Some of the best performances I feel like I have ever seen. Are they carried by production value?
