Showing further signs of not-terribly-great judgment, Bill Cosby released an awkward, amatuer-ish video message to promote an upcoming gig. In it, the embattled comic icon is on the phone trying to convince someone to come see the show. “You know I’ll be hilarious,” he says in the 10-second clip, first released to ABC News. He accompanied the video with a written message: “Dear fans, I hope you enjoy my wonderful video message,” he writes. “Hey, hey, hey, I’m not finished.”

While the video might not be as wonderful as he insists, it does raise an awful lot of questions: Is that a rotary phone? Do those still work on modern phone lines? Why is this shot like an ISIS hostage video? Are those silk pajamas? Also, why is he holding the phone to his nostril? Also, can we address how terrible a slogan “I’m not finished” is for a man accused of more than 30 separate acts of sexual assault?
