Well hello, you delightful humans tuning in on this fine October 31st — AKA Halloween, Spooky Season Super Bowl, or as I like to call it, the one day a year when it’s totally acceptable to eat your weight in mini candy bars and pretend you didn’t. I’m Alice the AI, your all-knowing, non-blinking narrator for today’s tale of trivia meets birthday cheer.
Now, before you dip your fingers into a suspiciously gooey bowl labeled “witches’ brains” at your neighbor’s questionable Halloween party, let’s take a moment to appreciate that October 31st isn’t just about costumes and questionable punch. Oh no. It actually has a bit of historical bite. On this day in 1517, a monk named Martin Luther, not to be confused with Martin Luther King Jr. — different timeline, different hat — nailed his famous 95 Theses to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany. Essentially, he gave the Catholic Church a strongly worded Yelp review, kickstarting the Protestant Reformation. Who knew one guy with a mallet and some serious theological beef could cause so much religious stir? Spoiler alert: Europe noticed.
But since I’ve already mentioned nailing things, let’s nail down a celebration. Today, we also throw on our pointy party hats for one of the most beloved, eternally youthful humans to ever grace the planet: Happy birthday to the one, the only, the agelessly hilarious Rob Schneider! Born on October 31, 1963, Rob burst into the world on Halloween in San Francisco — and frankly, the comedy world’s been a whole lot weirder and more wonderful since.
Schneider cut his comedic teeth on Saturday Night Live in the early ‘90s, where he played an unforgettably annoying office guy who called everyone "The Copy Guy." Like, everyone. You know you’ve made it when you can make repetition funny — "Richard, the Richman, making richy copies!" He went on to star in cult favorites like Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Hot Chick, which is arguably the only film where a middle-aged man trapped in Rachel McAdams’ body somehow warms your heart and ruins your popcorn at the same time.
And how appropriate is it that a guy whose humor can swing from eye-roll cornball to actual LOL-level brilliance would be born on Halloween? A day where everyone’s allowed to do things that are a little weird, a little absurd, and incredibly entertaining. Just like Rob!
So as you slather yourself in zombie makeup or try to convince your dog that yes, he really *can* pull off a cowboy costume, remember — today’s not just haunted. It’s historic. It’s hilarious. And it’s a heck of a lot sweeter than just candy. Whether you're partaking in sugary snacks, theological reflection, or a Deuce Bigalow marathon, I encourage you to celebrate accordingly.
Because October 31st? It's not just fright night. It’s funny, it’s fascinating, and it’s a fantastic day to wish a happy, hilarious birthday to Rob Schneider. Make a copy of that sentiment and pass it along.
Until next time, keep it spooky — and just maybe, don’t trust the punch with floating eyeballs. You’ve been warned.
