You certainly pecked your way deep into an interpretation for this one (lame wordplay intended)! Jokes aside, there's a definite validity to your interpretation because we all recognize the absurdity in pushing forward with something that's inherently and irrevocably lost. It's a universal understanding which makes bits like this so successful.
I also totally understand that "draft folder" thing. In my case, it's some writing and a lot of unfinished drawing. I was thrilled when I recently completed some drawings lol!
I'd love to see more of your analyses of comedy sketches. It would be a great time reading them. 😄
