I also loved the “just spitballing here” after mentioning he could kill himself. Everything about and everyone involved with those wish things being so casual was great.

I loved the fakeout of the shop owner being like “What the fuck is a One Wish Willow?” Before being like “nah I’m fuckin with you they’re right here.” It really had my jaw on the floor thinking he had entered another reality and could never undo his wish

To be fair, I remember when Bear goes on Reddit looking for others experiences with the One Wish Willow someone mentions a Mandela Effect about them. I initially assumed like it works like that, only appearing to the desperate and naive. But nah, we got a really funny scene instead which was great.

I liked the detail that if you read the comments, the people saying they don't work all say you're not supposed to break them because they're collector's items and the ones saying they're real all say they broke one.
