"Deep Thoughts" by Sean Pamphilon

I'm watching ESPN's 30 for 30 episode about Ricky Williams right now, and while the content is interesting and it gives a great first-hand account of why the polarizing athlete is the way he is, I can't get past the director. Sean Pamphilon is behind the camera asking the questions of the interviewee and commenting throughout the program, but all I think about when he speaks is the voice of SNL's "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" skits. I keep thinking he is at some point going to finish a monologue with how he took his kid to what he said would be Disneyland, but instead was a burned down building and how although the child was sad the joke was appreciated deep down by both.
