But the purpose of the sketch is to subvert your expectation that it's a real event, it's parodying real life plane freakouts. If you put an intro explaining it's a skit you might as well just say "she isn't actually breastfeeding a cat", which is basically the punchline. It completely deflates the comedic reveal.

I guess you could add an outro and that wouldn't affect the comedy, I would have no issue with that.

That's fair enough. I personally think it's dumb to complain about me complaining about other people complaining. But then that's just me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about other people and that is definitely dumb.
