    Really enjoyed Armison’s take. He almost portrays Fester as someone who’s gone so far around the bend that he’s looped back around around to sane.

      Hmmm, I agree they tried to get that angle, but as someone who’s wrestled with insanity, it’s a very … sane portrayal.

      Not that it’s Armisen’s fault. Fester is generally portrayed as a weirdly competent form of insane.

      Given his importance to the plot, it’d take some pretty creative writing to get to properly insane but still totally useful within the same screen time. (while keeping it Disney levels of light-hearted, anyways)
