Timothée Chalamet’s Absurdist Zoom Stunt Goes Viral in A24’s ‘Marty Supreme’ Push

The self-mocking Zoom sketch has become the campaign’s viral centerpiece, signaling A24’s bet on platform-native humor ahead of the Dec. 25 opening.

Overview

  • Chalamet posted an 18‑minute mock “internal marketing meeting” to Instagram, with A24 sharing the same video on YouTube as part of the film’s rollout.
  • The clip has drawn heavy viewership, with nearly 10 million plays on Chalamet’s Instagram and roughly 100,000 on A24’s YouTube upload.
  • In the parody call, Chalamet steamrolls a marketing team with outlandish ideas like making orange the film’s signature color, repainting the Statue of Liberty, and deploying blimps.
  • Coverage highlights the sketch’s satire of corporate-speak and awkward remote meetings, with some viewers initially mistaking out-of-context clips for a real call.
  • Marty Supreme is a Josh Safdie–directed sports-comedy loosely inspired by ping-pong player Marty Reisman, positioned for a December 25 theatrical release.
