Here’s How That Pier Scene In ‘La La Land’ Should Have Played Out

You can’t just dance with whichever lady you want, man.

La La Land” is poised to be the favorite at this year’s Oscars, going into Sunday with 14 nominations and grossing about $340 million worldwide.

So given the popularity of this film, how is it possible that no one is talking about this particular scene?

You know the one: Ryan Gosling’s character approaches an older black couple on the pier, hands his hat to the man, and then dances with the woman.

Well, we’ll let Jed Feiman and Nehemiah Markos of the comedy sketch duo Never Sad take it from there.

(OK, it’s not a real scene, but we kind of wish it were.)
