I knew CSI was trite, but this clip shows exactly *how* trite it is. Formulaic bad acting and formulaic bad writing.

He just tries so hard!

In the movie "The Nines" Ryan Reynolds does a pretty spot on impression of Caruso in the clip for his fictional tv show "Crime Lab"

Why does he work so hard at making sure his lines are delivered anywhere except to another character. I swear he finds the emptiest space on the set and talks to that.

WTF?

hahaha

"looks like *puts on sunglasses*... something... caught her..."

He loves to throw on those sunglasses to deliver a punchline.

A little small, but a lot easier than hearing the scream over and over again.

Oh good god that's annoying after a while... here's a hypothetical: what if he already had his glasses on and needed to have a dramatic response? Would he pull out another pair and shove them on top? Just take them off? What if he had a different tick for emphasis, like smacking his lips or snapping suspenders? What then?

Awesome. Thanks to a very entertaining seven minutes, I never ever have to watch CSI: Miami.

After the cop blows up, Caruso looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid.

You made it through all seven minutes? Stronger man than I am. Two minutes thirty and I was done.

Then you missed this: "The verdict is in . . . but the jury is still out."

I imagine a brilliant improv format where the players do a deconstruction of a random clip from that reel.

I think we tried to do that as a line game once. It hurt.
