“the captain was out of character in the sketch, he was too silly etc etc whatever other nonsense”
- skipped around the grounds with kitty
- pretended to direct the film with adam
- did a full rendition of it’s a long way to tipperary
- was in his element playing kitty’s fairy godmother
- describes fashion as “chic” “now” and “fabulous”
- was determined as hell to win twister and was literally so happy when he got to claim victory
- “there’s a hare! pom pom!”
- laid on the ground using his hands as binoculars
- wiggled his little tie at the “handsome men” line
- constant gay innuendo to which he is clueless
- knows all the words to modern major general and sang them at full volume followed by “lalalalala!”
- “i can see her posey! i can’t look”
- put his heart and soul into organising that wedding reception with the seating and the lights
- cut about with his jacket over his shoulder when he realised he could just take it easy because kitty taught him that and he’s allowed to grow and learn
he is and always has been capable of utter camp silliness and warmth, of expressing happiness, of being more loose and less serious - yes he has this inner conflict that he’s been unpacking and overcoming, but viewers are meant to root for him, to want him to be more open and less repressed and just have fun, not to expect him to stay stagnant like some sitcom characters do. ghosts has never been a comedy that doesn’t allow its characters to develop. get with it.
(and sure, there’s a general consensus around charity sketches like this that they exist outside of established canon, it’s just a bit of fun and it doesn’t really count, but cap was not ooc regardless.)
