Corrections

I've started reading the comments on the Corrections pages on YouTube. They are often as funny as Corrections itself. Also, the love is contagious. 

I liked how Seth was enjoying the bobblehead this week. He had to even drop the "Mack Tonight is creepy" schtick to do it, but do it he did.

I think the world needs more joy and non-cynical appreciation. It's hard because the world can be really terrible, but I think it's necessary and I like that I'm starting to see it more and more in unexpected places.

From the https://youtu.be/oWyYYT4wUSw?si=qU9JoxDIh9Fdn4bD transcript:

  • “Just mentioned a couple of Lego stories.
    Crossword.
    52 down.
    ‘Tiny building blocks.’
    The answer -- five letters.
    You know what that means?
    The answer is Legos.
    You [bleeped] up.
    Whoever made this [bleep] up,
    and now they're in for it.
    I mean, … We've seen firsthand how awful the Lego community can be.
    Whoever did this [bleeped] up.
    Now, I'm not saying whoever edited this should be scared, but when the Lego people show up at your house, you will crap your shorts.”

👆This is especially funny/ironic because in the immediately following Saturday NY Times crossword comments (similar to the Corrections letters), included are 32 mentions about whether CRAPPER was offensive or humorous, including:

Quote

With language in NYT puzzles increasingly incorporating terms formerly considered crass, I was dismayed by 8A, Crapper, and disappointed that the constructor was proud of it. Oh, sure, it's an old word, et cetera, but please, no more.

I'm not sure I'm going to like whatever the reveal is that Seth was teasing when he compared Jenny to Rachel Dolezal. Dolezal was not funny and she was not anyone I would be gleeful about.

I think it was more of a way to say people were guessing incorrectly about the twist (Amber coming out).  A misdirect. 


Exactly. He was saying that he wasn't referring to Amber coming out, but suggesting that Jenny was going to "come out" as Black. Yes it is a bit obscure and inside, geared to a relatively small audience of online nerds and hard to parse for the general public, but isn't that kind of the whole point of Corrections?

Seth's really whacked version of the Master of Ceremonies from Cabaret may be one of the most unhinged things I've ever seen. And I won't be mad if the ferret circus ends every Corrections from now on.

It did physically pain me what he did to that singing bowl though. I listen to singing bowls to go to sleep. (Highly recommend the YT channel Sleeping Vibrations.)
