(bubbles burbling) - [Vic] Oh!

(triumphant music)

Wow, what an entrance.

- Hi, I'm Tamar.

- I'm Alex. - I'm Bruce.

- And this is "Last Looks".

(bright upbeat music)

- Well, well, well.

You're back. (chuckles)

I'll get you cleaned, and then I'll kill you.

(upbeat music)

- Alex, you had pitched bubble superhero,

because we were trying to come up

with a kind of like, useless superhero.

- [Alex] We finally just decided,

what if it was a stupid superpower?

- [Tamar] And then we landed on Bubble Man.

- [Vic] Thank you. (laughs) - (laughs) Yeah.

Ah, I gotta get another one of those.

- [Paul] The origins of this idea were

Hollywood Boulevard-style person in a costume

who you take a photo with and he charges you a dollar.

Like cheap, cheap, cheap superhero look.

- You know, I thought the most embarrassing thing

was the fact that I was gonna be in spandex,

but it's not. (crew laughs)

The most embarrassing thing is

how short this cape is, bitch.

(crew laughs) (Eugene chuckles)

- [Tamar] And it was a really interesting challenge,

because we have such amazing looks,

we have such an amazing costume designer.

How do we make it not look like a mistake

that it's bootlegged?

Like, how do we make it look cheap on purpose?

- She was like, "It makes you look like a superhero."

And I'm like, does it?

(groovy music)

- This is a work of art.

Can you talk a little bit about it? (laughs)

- I'm so excited about this one.

First, we brought in the actor for a digital scan

at Autonomous F/X, our friends over there,

and 3D printed the actor's face.

Then we did a rendering of this.

This one took quite a bit of engineering,

so we brought in Ian Goodwin,

and what Ian did was engineer in a way that it would stay,

because if you feel, this has quite a bit of weight to it.

- Oh, wow!

I did not realize that this was this heavy.

- [Alex] If you could use three words

to describe yourself right now, what would it be?

- Top heavy?

(Bruce laughs)

- [Alex] So we can't necessarily glue that

to his head or the cowl piece.

- [Bruce] So this understructure,

this was built with a couple of screws protruding.

Then this is fitted with the latex piece

that's gonna go over this.

- [Alex] And the genius behind it

is that there's two bubbles hidden within

the structure that are the screws that

once we apply the foam cap, - [Tamar] Whoa!

- we can physically screw on.

- And they screw into this.

- [Alex] And so if you notice, there's a lot of holes.

Since we couldn't see it in person and Ian couldn't be here,

if we needed more on the day,

we can add - [Tamar] Wow!

more bubble structures throughout the piece.

- This thing by my lip is another bubble.

- [Alex] He had provided some extra small globes.

The ones that you saw sprinkled along the face

and the hairline, those are glass.

They're more hollow, more light.

They could carry the weight of just a glue drop.

- [Tamar] And then talk about the face.

- This was another thing that was a uh-oh,

but it turned out (Bruce chuckling)

better than we wanted. - [Tamar] Okay.

- Initially, that was an appliance that was supposed

to be blended off seamlessly around Eugene's face,

but his eye spacing was different

than the pre-made appliance.

- Here's the thing that's crazy.

My eyes shouldn't be this close together.

It takes away my whole fucking thing.

Should my eyes be a little bit closer together

now that I see it like this?

They shouldn't.

- I think we ran into this challenge on this season

more than any other so far.

When you're getting a generic piece,

you don't know the general size of it,

it's just a piece of rubber,

and so then when you go to fit it on the person,

it either fits or it doesn't fit,

and you have to work it out in real time.

You have to figure out what the hell to do. (laughs)

So, we ended up turning that into a more of a mask,

more of an obvious superhero mask.

- But, real talk, there's something over my eyes,

so am I gonna be allowed to see?

- [Tamar] Well, I guess TBD, right?

- Ah, man.

I know these people well enough now

(crew laughs)

that I'm never gonna open my eyes again.

- It's very clear. - [Alex] Right?

- Yeah. - You look great in it.

- Should I- - You do look great in it.

- Okay, I'm just... - [Alex] Yeah.

So, there's actually two prosthetics glued together.

Gabi put this together and called it a meat mask.

- [Gabi] The Meat Glasses.

- [Alex] The Meat Glasses. - I don't like that anymore.

(Alex and Bruce laugh)

- Oh no!

Oh no, the office is on fire!

- Get out.

Get out of there.

- I wish we could, but the door is blocked!

- So I'm stuck in here, too?

I'm outta here, man.

(bright upbeat music)

- Eugene Cordero, first time on "VIP".

? Eugene Cordero ? ? Eugene ?

- Do things sometimes not feel clean

when they should? (chuckles)

I'm here to help.

- When we're ideating with the performer,

I am always very happy when they choose to be like,

no, this is what my real character looks like.

This is who I am.

They're not like a mascot in this costume.

- (chuckles) I hate when people swear.

(crew laughs)

So then I wash your mouth out with soap.

- He is so brilliant.

He was a long-time teacher at UCB

who literally was like, so booked and busy,

he wasn't teaching classes anymore, even,

by the time that I really started my improv training.

It is such a gift getting to perform with an improviser

that is so much more superiorly technically talented

than I am at improv.

There was nothing I didn't throw at him

that he couldn't immediately process

through his point of view.

It was door-to-door the easiest improv set

I've ever done in my life.

No. - I didn't realize

how good of friends we became on this.

- We didn't become friends, and I'm not endorsing this.

- How much do you make on this?

- No, I'm not telling you how much I make on this show.
