Are you using an adblocker? I had this problem and had to unblock media from [adswizz.com] to get them to play. I assume it's because they're using it to inject ads instead of editing them directly into the podcasts.

This may be, strange as it may seem, part of what's driving this? There's a fan perception that Katie McGrath looked uncomfortable in that video and the juxtaposition of uncomfortable Katie McGrath vs. the rest of the cast who are clearly having fun is really bad because everyone knows that feeling of being forced to laugh along with people about something that bothers you. Double or triple that feeling for LGBTQ+ fans who sometimes have had to laugh along with something because it would be dangerous not to, and wow, that is like rubbing salt right into a gaping wound.

You know what I just realized? The age range here is 13 to 17, which means these kids were all born right around 2000, give or take 2 years. That means that if their moms had them at a reasonable age (let's say 20 to make the math easier) and their grandmothers had their moms at about a similar age, then their grandmothers would have been born around 1960, so even their *grandparents* might not have been fully aware of 60s fashion trends.

They've done a couple of celebrity versions already, though, haven't they? The Great Sport Relief Bakeoff and The Great Comic Relief Bakeoff, for charity. Maybe that's what he was talking about?

I hate Skittles commercials, but I kind of got the cloud one, I think - the old lady is taking her pet cloud on it's evening poop walk but it's taking forever so she stops and gives it a little pat to encourage it to go. Which it does, dropping a load of Skittles (because rainbows come from clouds?). The old lady calmly eating what amounts to cloud feces while the idiot gets zapped is just more of the patented Skittles gross-out insanity, though.

Maybe a slick elephant mobster in an expensive suit and sweet jewelry? An elephant for the direct connection to peanuts (and because we need a makeup), but then you impress the judges with a backstory that he can afford all that bling because "That guy, he always pays his guys peanuts." Maybe that's how he got his nickname - all his guys called him Peanuts behind his back because he was so cheap and it stuck.

I pictured the Tick-Tock guy as a nervous old clock with a bunch of rats nesting in his clothes. To reinforce the snitching thing, maybe the pockets could have been filled with shredded paper with gangster names, address segments, and speakeasy passcodes like the rats were gathering information for the G-Men. How cool would it have been if the model acted like he was trying to sneak handfuls of paper to the judges? Such a wasted opportunity.
