I am Talking Directly to You
Good morning. Look at this. Now that they've figured out a source of 1.21 gigawats Doc is pretty confident that they can send Marty back to the future. He is so confident that he turns away from Marty and points directly at the camera as he proclaims this. Marty is in the background thinking 'Hey, Doc, I am over here.'
Uh-oh. I think Doc just broke the 4th wall. That's a theatre term. Go read Our Town, you'll understand. It's by Thorton Wilder.
I think Marty should give Doc a Hi-five right about now. I think the moment calls for it. I know they didn't have Hi-fives in the 1950's. But they didn't have rock and roll or skateboards either, so it's cool Marty, go for it! But don't get all crazy and try to pull a 'Slap-me-high, slap-me-low, to-slow' gambit. Doc's definitely not ready for that!

That drawing is terrifying. It looks like a post-op, transvestite version of Michael Bolton, but in the form of the troll from the NES game Shadowgate.
Marty arrives in 1955 on November 5th.
From Wikipedia...
"The high five, although not known by that name, actually appeared as early as 1955, during the November 15, 1955 episode "The Eating Contest" of The Phil Silvers Show. On an episode that aired Nov. 3, 1966, Dean Martin gives Louis Armstrong the High five after singing together."
Creepy, right?
Also, there needs to be an "Eating Contest" of the Chat Show.
Maybe Marty did introduce the hi-five to the world. crazy.
eating contest. great idea. it's on the list.
