“So they free the animal slaves and the kid slaves?”

“No, just the animal slaves”

The fact that I watched that whole video and never once said, "well they are stretching that for comedy," is alarming. It was dead on.

I didn't hate the movie...but that scene where he milks the big sea cow was the worst.

You know how phasma was underused in TFA?

Yeah.

We're gonna do that again. And then we're gonna kill her.

Because seriously, what was the fricking point of that scene?

After the cows “Hey, you seeing this?” look, Luke takes a drink and with milk dribbling down his beard gives a very confrontational look like “Yeah, I just did that. What you gonna do about it?”

I mean, did we witness some kind of alien #metoo in the making?

That's just nitpicky bullshite in how awful this movie was. They had to get the blue milk from somewhere, and while I didn't care where they did, I've got 50 plus issues with the movie before I get to that.

They chose that moment to point out the shitty humor throughout. Which is one of the main issues.

Was that trying to be funny? That did not register to me like the crap BB-8 did.

Is it wrong that I like the phone call prank?

The timing of it, like most of the "humor" in the movie, was horrible.

90% of comedy is all about timing...a fact that Johnson apparently doesn't grasp.

It's just out of place. For the moment and the character and then it doesn't work. No one in my theater laughed. Zero. Poe doesn't have a joke in him in all of TFA or the rest of TLJ. Hux being made to look like a fool in that way makes it feel like an Austin Powers scene. And finally, it just wasn't that funny regardless of who was delivering the joke.

It was too early in the film, imo. When you're trying to set the stage in a film like this, going with a gag routine early just doesn't work.
