"On Acid"
has become a kind of unimaginative shorthand for "but kerrazy!!!11!" of late but in this case DuffGardens has a real point. One of the funniest things about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the way he takes his hallucinations so seriously:
Terrible things were happening all around us. Right next to me a huge reptile was gnawing on a woman’s neck, the carpet was a blood-soaked sponge—impossible to walk on it, no footing at all. “Order some golf shoes,” I whispered. “Otherwise, we’ll never get out of this place alive. You notice these lizards don’t have any trouble moving around in this muck—that’s because they have claws on their feet.”
and you just know Dyer's complaining would push exactly this comedy button. He'd be overwhelmed by simple things and it would be wonderful.

yes i didn't mean on acid as in a whacky version
literally on psychedelics and struggling with a simple concept - i think it was when he said Brexit is a "mad riddle" that gave me the idea. you dont wanna describe things as a mad riddle if you want to be taken seriously. (unless you're on acid ).
