You'd think this is one of those things that's funnier without context, but I can assure anyone who has not seen Saw 3D that it is actually the context of Casual Jigsaw that gives him his undeniable power. It has not left my thoughts for eleven years, and I am burdened by the knowledge that for the entire 95-minute runtime of Spiral: From the Book of Saw my mind will be elsewhere, with Aggressively Casual Jigsaw. It is Bell's only scene in the entire film and someone decided he should look like Fred Durst's grandfather desperately trying to fit in at a Limp Bizkit concert. I speak, of course, of the scene in Saw 3D in which John Kramer ( Tobin Bell) arrives dressed like the fourth member of Blink-182 for no discernable reason. And yet there remains one particular Saw moment that still haunts me above all others, one that has, in the years since, become my own twisted Jigsaw game, both a test of willpower and reminder to cherish life at all costs.

That part in the original Saw when Cary Elwes says the name "Ali" like a newborn babe discovering the joys of human speech. The Saw franchise is full of memorably horrific moments that stick in your brain long after the shock of the latest plot switcheroo has faded away.
