What this was
On 7 November 2020, four days after the US presidential election, Rudy Giuliani held a press conference about the Trump campaign's legal challenges. It took place in the parking lot of Four Seasons Total Landscaping, a small business in northeast Philadelphia, in front of the garage door. Reporters noted the neighbouring premises: an adult bookshop on one side, a crematorium on the other. While Giuliani was speaking, the Associated Press called Pennsylvania, and the election, for Joe Biden.
It first appeared in 2020, during short-form and streams.
The comedy is structural rather than partisan: the gap between the stakes of the event and the venue of the event, discovered live and in public, with the result arriving mid-sentence. It produced an instant and enormous volume of jokes across every platform, and the widely-shared theory that somebody had meant to book the Four Seasons hotel.
The landscaping company embraced it, sold merchandise, and became a minor Philadelphia landmark; a charity fun run and a concert have since been staged there. It is now the standard reference point for a plan that goes wrong in a way nobody could have designed.
