In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny?

How the hell did the character get so viral? I've tried watching the skits several times to see if maybe I'm missing something, but for the life of me, I can't seem to see it. Is everyone just biased because it's Tom Hanks? Or is it actually hilarious, and I'm just struggling to understand the humor? Fall/Spooky season is my absolute favorite time of year, but am I just a buzz kill?

I don't get Tracy Morgan. His jokes don't seem that funny to me. He's extremely repetitive. I don't understand him. Then, one day I heard a comedian on a podcast describe him as a complete genius. He said Tracy's trick is he tells a joke that may be funny, maybe not funny, and you'll give him a little laugh. Then he repeats the joke ten times. It's no longer funny. You're just tired of hearing it. Then he repeats the joke ten more times, and somehow through the power of alchemy, it's now run full circle and is the funniest thing you've ever heard every time he says it. I think this skit has that same energy.

And one last piece of advice, Liz Lemon, from someone who's been on this side of the business for a long time:

I have five words for you:
I’ve actually tired to explain how Donald trump is the complete opposite of Tracy Morgan for these reasons. Trump is dumb as hell trying to sound smart. The first time you hear what he says it’s funny because it’s so unbelievable; then reality sets in and it stops being funny. Sorry for bringing him up, but this is too coincidental to not mention
I prefer it in the original Stewart Lee
That doesn't sound like genius.
Not to be crass, but it almost seems like he's gotten even more like that since his accident. Nowadays he says the most absurd shit, but just the way he says it and commits to it is funny.
