Corrections

[DanaMB]

I’m not good at catchy titles… A place to discuss Corrections. 
 

Every time they play Animal Flubs it’s so stupid it makes me laugh, but then it is stuck in my head forever.

Good thread 👍

I didn’t like this week’s Corrections. Way too fast to enjoy it. Though the Negroni thing made me laugh. 

[possibilities]

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.

[DanaMB]

Do you think Corrections will really end at 100? I hope not…

[possibilities]

I also hope not. He does like to tease us. I am hoping it's just a bit and they will rebrand it as something like "Corrections: The Sequel" or in some other way the whole "we're ending it" is not true.

But I fear it is. Lots of things end that I don't want to end, so.... I am bracing to let it go in case it's really going.

[Lois Sandborne]

Teasing the end really does seem like a bit. Seth's having a lot of fun with it. Maybe it'll be like an April Fool's joke.

The slow talking at the beginning this week was fun. I didn't up the video speed but I bet it worked. Them randomly sticking "HAVE AN ESTABLISHED" in at the end cracked me up.

99.5 last night...

will next week by 99.6?

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 mean, if Seth wants to do 99 “Seth’s Version” redos that also cover recent shows, I’m down.

[ahisma]

I had to go bak and look because I missed it too.

I wish I knew how to quit you.

[possibilities]

I wish Seth would not say "very unique".

[possibilities]

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. 

[DanaMB]

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?

[SG429]

I think that being sick and cranky and just wanting to go home after a long week fits the vibe of Corrections. I like it.

[marina to]

I loved the suit/no tie look Seth was sporting this week. It may not have been for us, but I wouldn't be sad if that was the Corrections look from now on. Dude was hawt.
