Wait help I don't think I get that snake oil thing? I've only seen the gif sets but I feel like I'm out on a great joke.
Aw, don’t feel like dummies dewdrops! I think it’s not something people under a certain age would even have a reason to know.
So the name of the product is “Serpessence” - literally “serp” (as in serpent, snake) + “essence”. Essence of snake. “Essence” is often a cosmetological euphemism for oil. In the video (for which I myself have seen only gifsets), Misha mentions he has solicited the advice of “Sweden’s best ophiologists” - ophiologists study snakes.
The reason the snake oil thing is funny?
If anyone would create a fake product solely for the purpose of making oblique sexual jokes and calling himself a quack, it’s Misha Collins.
EDIT: I saw the video and he even said outright that it was 100% snake oil. He’s not even trying to be subtle haha
