I too love the authenticity of the mirth. I also felt this about some of Evie's responses with Colbert in lockdown. She genuinely loved and laughed at the silly shenanigans. It made it so much more relatable and loved the genuineness of their relationship.

@@verdatum I was thinking about that too. What a great way to get by in from your audience to pay attention. It’s like the Easter eggs in a high concept show.

We've now come from a little 3 minute segment 6 months ago to this nearly 18 minute piece of heaven. I look forward to the feature length film in Fall '22...
@@christophercomtois7175 HA! I came back to reply to my own post to say the same thing. Seth knows, and he's baiting us. Well played, Seth. Well played.
omg I had to get to minute mark 16:00 and now I get it. I saw the card too soon and wasn't thinking about who won the Emmy - I needed Seth to explain it for me. 😆 😂
@@jocramkrispy305 P.S. I had paused early reading comments because I hadn't understood the joke on the card and wondered if I'd get any hints. Once I watched the rest, Seth made it obvious by 16:00 for me. 😄
My eyes are not good enough to tell for certain. My mother made many blankets, both knit and crochet, and I can't rule out that it isn't knit. I'll happily bow to anyone with more experience.
I wait for these every week, and whenever the show is on a break, I miss it dearly. It's fun, it's witty and it's hilarious. Inside jokes inside other inside jokes based on inside jokes that came from inside jokes. It's absurd, nonsensical and, honestly, fucking wonderful. And not having any audience during it is just the cherry on top. Please never stop with these, Seth. It's a delightful part of my week, and I'm sure most of my fellow jackals would heartily and readily agree!
Loved Corrections this week. Had hoped for Emmy win because I think it is incredible how Seth spins comments into gold each week. Thank you for making me laugh out loud every time.
Um... pretty sure they don't hand out Nobels for humor. Emmy, yeah. Perhaps even Pulitzer. Plus Oscar, of course. But not Nobel, unless it was part of a scientific study on some fascinating fact about humor that is life-changing. 😄😆😂🤣😂😆😄
@@MaryAnnNytowl we wouldn’t be holding up the badge of jackal honor if we did not point out that there is in fact a Nobel Prize for Literature with no exclusion for humor. Though most Americans who’ve won were on the serious side Eugene O’Neil, Hemingway, Faulkner, Bob Dylan though Sinclair Lewis did win it for wit and humor
To be fair, I haven't watch Carpool Karaoke, but I agree, Corrections was robbed. And if it wasn't going to be Corrections, it should have been Tooning Out the News because that's also great entertainment.
@@joehemmann1156 I’ve never watched it either but since it’s by James Corden it definitely sucks and should not have won, certainly not over Digital Inclusive Carrectiones!
Those of us with OCD, find the weekly corrections extremely satisfying. Admitting he’s made a mistake, while humorously ridiculing the folks who let him know he was WRONG, is one of Seth’s special talents.
My favorite part is Wally Lore. I would love to see all of Seth's Amazing staff be given deep fictional backstory. Funny like this doesn't just happen folks, Seth has cultivated the finest most powerful tech team.
Please please please keep this format, even for just once in a while. It's so refreshing compared to the crowds and band format. It's like the best bits of late night and podcasts.
Seth is classy: This week, he offered sincere congratulations to and praise for "Carpool Karaoke," which beat out "Corrections" for this year's Emmy, and he gave a long tribute to Norm MacDonald, who took a mean (but, as you'd expect from Norm, funny) swipe at Seth and his show recently. In a biz with a lot of jackasses, Seth seems like a grounded, good guy. And I always look forward to "Corrections." 👏👏👏
Corrections is a highlight of my week. I love what this show has become during the pandemic, you’re the only late night host who I think got better during this!
I think Colbert & Trevor Noah got better, too. But Seth and the team gloriously outdid everyone else. I dread the day Trevor and Seth go back to an audience. Sure it was nice to see how happy Stephen seemed to be in front of an audience again, I get what that gives (back) to a performer. But the whole HUZZAH! SHOW! EXCITEMENT! of it seems kind shallow and offputting to me now. Rarely watch it anymore. Much prefer this more... personal, weirder, in-jokey version
@@peerblickdicht8401 I like Colbert with an audience, but it is a little different. He’s more lively, delighted to be there, and interacts with the crowd a little. But I don’t think everyone feeds off an audience the same way.
@@peerblickdicht8401 Trevor Noah is funnier at home & w/o audience, BUT I miss his polished, well informed & engaging interviews. He is an awesome interviewer! I also miss 'Between the Scenes' when he sincerely interacts w/ audience & is brilliant w/o any script.
And he still didn’t get all the corrections! I was waiting for a correction about that flubbed Johnny 5 line! Short Circuit was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It deserves proper referencing. 😄
I totally saw the "cue cards are a part of him" bit coming.....but that didn't make it any less f×cking hilarious. You and your writers are top-notch, Seth, truly...
And the correction was erroneous anyway. When thanos snapped, everyone who disappeared went with the clothes on their back and came back the same. So the cue card would've gone with Wally
I was mildly enraged seeing Seth toss it to the side! Also, since it came out with Wally at birth, perhaps it’s like a piece of the umbilical cord? I know my mom had kept a piece of my baby brother’s cord after he was born. Slightly gross, but there you go..
just watching the development of this bit over the last year has really felt like seeing Seth (and the show) really mature and develop the ability to inhabit an absolutely unique and remarkable - and hilarious - brand of humor. Corrections is the funniest thing on "TV" every week.
Correction: I'd like to make a small plea for the history of poetry here. "Parody" comes from the Greek "parodia," poems written in epic meter but treating subjects unworthy of epic (i.e., mock-epic). The variety of parody that you appeal to in this segment, in which the words of an original are modified to comedic effect (e.g., Weird Al) was, according to Aristotle, invented by the poet Hegemon of Thasos. So the first parodist was a poet!
Correction: The movie "Ring 2" is an actual movie, the sequel of the Japanese movie "Ring", for which the American "The Ring" was a remake. Hideo Nakata directed "Ring", "Ring 2" and "The Ring 2".
Was it ever dubbed or subbed in English? I couldn't find anything about it, but i didn't do an extensive search. In case it really wasn't, the movie only has a Japanese name リング2, which is read as "Ringu 2". While it is meant to mean "Ring 2", it technically isn't called that.
@@Naryoril it's the romanization of the japanese phonetic spelling of an english word. Ringu totally means "ring". Does one pronounce the last letter in "ringu" unless one cannot pronounce english properly?
@@transsexual_computer_faery I remember when I first saw that the Japanese film was released in the US under the title "Ringu". That was such a weird lazy move. I rented it that same day thinking it was going to be so much better, and I knew it was super hyped in Japan. And I watched it with some friends, and even though we were/are all a bunch of weebs, at the end we all kinda looked at each other and were like "Was it just me, or did that film kinda suck?" In terms of low-budget horror, I much prefer the original "Rec".
This auto-played after “A Closer Look.” I realized it was Friday just as it started loading, and my girlfriend in the other room just heard a gravelly “YES!” as the TV made my wish come true.
Add me to the growing chorus of fans begging you NOT to ever bring back an audience! As enjoyable as your show was pre-pandemic, its current vibe is just... more enjoyable! (And Carreckshuns has it all over Carpool Sudoku!)
I am very much looking forward to Seth's next attempt at making sense of anything knitting related. Or better still, he actually might start a knitting podcast, expert that he is, or is he? I mean, holding knitting needles downwards through a finished crocheted blanket with no live stitches anywhere, he must be a fiber genius!
I like that the graphics department called it "Carrections." Also, I'm sure your fan from the knitting community pointed out that the picture you showed has you with knitting needles jammed into a crocheted blanket.
@@reneeschwider6136 The blanket is crocheted. You crochet with a single hook. But they've gone and jammed two knitting needles into it. Knitting and crocheting both make things out of yarn, but in very different ways. It would be like if you had a picture of a cake in a skillet on a stovetop. Like yeah, you can cook food on the stovetop, but a cake needs to be baked in an oven and certainly not in a skillet.
@@reneeschwider6136 This was an old photo of something else Seth did years ago...& it's come back to haunt him now! 🤣 I haven't looked for it yet, but I'm wondering if it was something for SNL...maybe around the 4th of July & about Betsy Ross. 🤔🤷♀️ Gotta love his expression in that pic though, huh?! 😄 Oh! I found it! It was for GQ. Cool. 😎✨🇺🇸
Corrections: Actually, the last blockbuster store didn’t close in 2019. There is one that is currently open in Bend, Oregon in the year 2021. Seth just needs a writer from Oregon at this point.
Same. What I've noticed it that the jokes are less "pandery" - it feels as if seth is just trying to make the crew laugh not virtue signal and elicit a cheer/applause from the audience - which the us audiences are all too eager to do. It's especially evident now that all other shows have gone back to live audiences. This is the only late show that i still watch, i just cant go back to the mindless cheering and applauding Inbetween every punchline (often disrupting the flow of the jokes)
I once spent a night as a wind-shield wiper: we were on a road trip through Europe in a VW Van with the Sziget festival as end destination. When we drove through Slovakia it started to pour excessively and we figured out another one of the van's many flaws, but we couldn't delay lest we miss the start of the festival. So we tied a piece of rope on the wiper and looped it through the windows and I spent a couple of hours kind of doing that motion you do when drying your back with a towel... Maybe not the safest solution, but man that was a good summer.
Awesome story! Wipers-related... My parents met when they were teenagers (married 47 years). My dad got a new car & the wipers control was a pedal/control on the floor. He told my mom it was controlled by tapping the dash in a really specific way... Every time he tapped it, he also pressed the control with his foot. The wipers worked. Every time she tried, he did not - the rhythm wasn't right, she was too gentle, too harsh, not hitting the right spot, had to 'double tap'... and so on. That part of the story is better acted out, but use your imaginations, I'm sure you'll get there. It's survived almost 50 years & it's still hilarious.
One time my mom was on a trip with her brother and the exact same problem occurred. Luckily, when they pulled over they found a squeegee in the trunk. So my uncle spent hours hanging out the side of the car being the windshield whipper so mom could drive.
Already loved this segment, but having a correction featured is just amazing. Glad all those other L's were missing so it made sense to mention the Doritos graphic.
I love your corrections they are the best laughs all rolled into one. You’re graphic team is first class at trolling you. And I appreciate and love them for it. Keep up the great work graphic team!!!
Single greatest segment on the internet today. Had me in stitches by the end. I really do hope you enjoy doing this as much as we do. You'll always be tied for first in our hearts.
YOU WANT A JACKAL CORRECTION, HERE'S ONE. When talking about the films made in Astoria, Oregon including The Ring 2 and how they wouldn't know what you were talking about if you asked for it at a Blockbuster, you said that the last Blockbuster closed in 2019, when in fact, there is one, and only one, remaining and it is in Bend, Oregon! If people wanna like this so they can see it, that'd be dope haha
Happy to support your correction😂...there is a doc called THE LAST BLOCKBUSTER currently on Netflix, it's about the store in Bend and the demise of Blockbuster
Well it is pretty cool esp when it's a singer you like and you can't deny it's popularity. At its core it's a very fun idea. Now did it deserve to win this year?? Of course not
This show is a goddamn joy [EDIT: And I think part of that is bc there's no live audience. PLEASE do it this way forever! The silences are indeed golden.]
correction: the last blockbuster did Not close in 2019. there's still a blockbuster in bend, oregon and it's a big (arguably film?) tourism site (and in the middle of a joke about film tourism in oregon, seth, come on)
I recently purged my coffee mug collection down to a reasonable 16. (Yes, still a lot, but I had over two dozen, and I do drink a lot of tea) Nevertheless, I would buy a set of jackal mugs for charity in an instant!
Not technically a correction, but the "correction pickle" is essentially the same as Zugzwang, a chess term for a situation where there's no good move, but you still must act. Special bonus in that Zugzwang sounds like a German pickle brand. (To Americans, at least. To Germans, it would sound like an energy drink, since it literally translates as "compulsion to move" )
@@blauespony1013 Maybe your second reply means you already know this, but, just in case, ... OP is simply saying that people who know the meaning of a word will have different associations to it than those who only recognize what language the word comes from, and then make associations to what little they know of the language's culture. OP knows that Germans are hearing "Zugzwang" in their own language, with no need to mentally translate. A word that means "compulsion to move" does sound like a good brand name for an energy drink (except "compulsion" might have too-negative connotations)! I wonder what actual German energy drink brand names (and their English translations) are? Do you know any? ////Bunny kisses for all!
@@DelinahLovesHouseBunnies You will laugh ... Energy Drinks here usually have English names (Red Bull, Monster, LevelUp Gaming Booster, Rockstar, Energy ... I did not find one German name) and we do not translate "Energy Drink" itself. "Energie Getränk" would sound just too lame, I guess. Enjoy your weekend.
@@blauespony1013 Oh, my goodness! I figured the huge brands like Red Bull and Monster would be in many countries, but I expected you to have _some_ homegrown competition. One more sign that the darn global corporations are too big and powerful, preventing small business innovators from competing; we need some trust-busting, like during the previous turn of the century! Thanks for the reply. There's something new to learn every day! So _that's_ why Zugzwang doesn't make you think of an energy drink; all your energy drinks have English names! 🤯 ////Bunny kisses for all!
The Randy Newman cassette tape story about Seth and Josh sitting on the roadside in the Festiva with no windshield wipers waiting for the rain to stop had me in stitches and tears at the same time!! Tragically hilarious.
Correction: when explaining why cockroaches have spiracles you said that it because they have Thier lungs on the side, cockroaches do not actually have lungs, the spiracles supply oxygen directly to fluid which then circulates around the bugs body supplying oxygen to its tissues.
Given that Wally typically uses 14 inch by 22 inch cue cards and if the cue card grew in relation to Wally's size, then as a baby, his cue card would be smaller than what you utilized. To exactly determine the cue card growth, you would have to decide whether to compare surface area or use a weight basis. Either way, the baby cue card should be smaller. Back up calculations available upon request. You have been jackal'd!!
@@yrtepgold Seth explains that Wally was born with the card. He goes on to refer to the cards as "the same as arms and legs". From this reference that would mean the card is biological in nature and as such should grow in reference to the size of the baby to the size of the adult. Adult cue card: 14in by 22in = 308in^2, Baby cue card: 3in by 5in = 15in^2 a growth rate of 20.53 for surface area and weight basis given the paper thickness and density is the same and constant for both cue cards. An average adult has a surface area of 1.9m^2. A new born baby has a surface area of 0.25m^2. (I found the numbers on the internet. I did not physically measure the surface area.) 0.25m^2 x (308in^2/15in^2) = 5.13m^2 1.9m^2 / 0.25m^2 = 7.6 growth rate 308in^2 / 7.6 growth rate = 40.53in^2 baby cue card or 5.44in by 7.44in I previously said smaller, but that was weight based with some assumptions. Only way to verify the correctness of this hypothetical absurdity is if Wally publicly weighs while displaying his birth weight certificate. The 20.53 growth rate is much closer on weight basis. In conclusion, I see where you are coming from but I am prepared to argue.
@@adamz8276 I think the card size can be whatever they want it to be, because each cell type grows at its own rate, and the card comprises an unknown cell type(s). Teeth grow at a different rate from liver, skin, nails, ... In fact, different _areas_ of skin, mucous membrane, bone, etc., grow at different rates, plus they react to stimuli; e.g., bone responds to weight-bearing exercise by growing thicker and denser, and palm and sole skin grows especially fast to compensate for all the friction. Proportions change from infant to child to adult! Since Wally is unique in having this feature, you can't know how the cue card size should (or should _not_ ) have changed in proportion to the rest of Wally's body as he grew up; that's like saying, "How long should his tail grow, infant to adult?" There's a wide range of acceptable answers that fit with what we see in other mammals, from bear or hamster to cheetah, and he could even be an extreme outlier, with a much longer tail than any other known creature. Your reasoning reminds me of those medieval painters who painted babies that looked like adults shrunken down with preserved adult proportions (they did it to represent the idea of Jesus as a homunculus).^ I like that you're trying to work it out scientifically, but you forgot that body proportions change quite a bit from infant to adult, and different cell types/organs grow at different rates. So there's nothing wrong with the cue cards having changed size/volume in proportion to the rest of Wally's body as he grew up. And I'm guessing he sheds them like snake skin in order to show new words on new cards?! Actually, *@Pete Reno* makes a lot of sense. If we assume Wally with his cue card organ is born functional, and a stack of chest-sized cue cards are comfortable for an adult to hold, then newborn Wally should hold a newborn-chest-sized cue card or smaller. Because infant arms are weak, it was just one cue card, not a stack, and it was as thin as typical letter paper instead of cardstock. Newborns have that grip/certain amount of arm strength, so I'm sure newborn Wally could hold up that "It's a boy!" cue card, which would be something like a fingernail (maybe not even requiring grip, since it's part of him, but requiring holding one or both arms up to display); then, he shed it when he had something new to say. (Which reminds me: Parents, teach your babies infant sign language! It cuts down so much on both parental and infant frustration when a 6-month-old can sign what they want.) ////Bunny kisses for all! ^ www.google.com/amp/s/www.thevintagenews.com/2019/02/19/babies-in-medieval-art/amp/ *Why Babies in Medieval Art Look Like Ugly Old Men* See the 2nd picture, "Madonna di Castelfiorentino," 1280s
Corrections is the best. My favourite late night stuff by far. I love the different feel of the humour, it just hits all the right notes and I can't help but laugh my ass off.
Correction - Possibly a British thing but when you do something accidentally here you would do it by accident and not on accident. You might do it on purpose though... e.g., if you were jackal baiting? Love this bit!
Sally, my ears hurt when I hear "on accident". The US has so many regional differences like this that we enjoy fighting over. For this one thing, I can agree with the Brits. Another one that my ears don't like is "waiting on line" instead of in line... Though I assume you say "queueing" or something!
@@sdence Ah queuing, the British pastime...For that we would say we're queuing but we'd also be waiting in line... Waiting on line sounds like you literally have to stand on a line... This confuses me... We have a thing with bread rolls. Depending on where you live you might call them rolls, barms, barm cakes, baps and buns. Language is fun no?
A year ago you wouldn’t have heard from the knitting community, because if you’re a troublemaker they just up and stab you dead. Now they have to yell at you via the interweb because of the travel restrictions.
Hmm, the snap didn't leave piles of clothes behind, right? and everyone came back with the clothes they were wearing when snapped. Plus like there weren't piles of pacemakers and glasses everywhere. So seems correct that wally took the card with him
The Pager for Captain Marvel was left after Fury was dusted. I think the answer is that clothes and accessories were dusted _UNLESS_ they had plot significance. So clearly Wally's cue cards had played their part. An argument could also be made that a cue card is essentially linked to it's holder. Which makes sense - a cue card isn't really a cue card without the guy holding it. Just some sign.
As a photographer, I can attest that the blurring seen in the skeleton Volvo shot is not necessarily an indicator of speed. You can get the same blurring with a slow car and a longer exposure, or a fast car and a short exposure. So I assume the Volvo was stuck in traffic and the photographer used a tripod to allow for a very long shutter speed with a tight aperture, possibly a neutral density filter. Since people tend to allow too much room when lining up in traffic it's quite possible that this car was still crawling forward despite no other cars in view. An astute photographer would in fact make a point to wait for the ideal circumstances to isolate the subject. As usual carrections is the highlight of my YT week.
You said that ‘we’re on accident doing jokes that good’. I cringe when I hear someone say ‘on accident’ instead of ‘by accident’ (although in this case you probably should have said accidentally). To try to better myself, I found my wife and asked her: ‘Seth said on accident instead of by accident. Is that worthy of a correction or should I leave him alone?’ She responded: ‘Yes it is. That’s despicable.’ So here we are.
Seth is just poking at Oregon jackals to get a reaction at this point. The last Blockbuster is here in Bend, and it opens at 10:30 every day. He just instigating now.
Came here to say this. You could go to The Last Blockbuster, confuse them by asking for "Ring 2," rent THE Ring 2, go to mass, hear a priest doing Sloth, drive to Astoria, watch The Ring 2 at the Goonies Jail, and then go to night mass & hear the same priest doing Sloth at the church he was reassigned to for doing Sloth at mass that morning.
00:39 I'm British, and have never come across someone that has a problem with the word transportation. It would probably be the norm to abbreviate it to transport for convenience, but transportation isn't wrong.
He said that at the end, so his favorite part of the week is the *end* of Carrections for the week. This is the longest time before he has to do another Carrections.
I live in Winnipeg Canada. The pandemic has been hard and sometimes i break down in tears. It is really embarrassing when people stop to see if I am okay. Funny thing is, I recently got a Mets hat and people have stopped asking why I am crying. 😢
Oh my god man! I'm laughing so hard my neighbor just popped over the fence and asked what's so funny? Corrections is easy to explain in the abstract, yeah ok he's going over all the flubs and small mistakes in the week. Watching every day, though, makes this a real joy. I see the small mistakes, maybe just a mispronounced word or something, and we all know that one jerk that will point it out and use that small "incorectness" to discount the rest of what you said because of it. They are everywhere. You hear them. You address them. You make them feel like idiots. Thank you so much. It's hard to say all that to a neighbor so here I am. Keep fighting the good fight
I can confirm that horses only breathe through their nose. It is so they can graze and smell at the same time to "keep a nose out" for predators :) I actually thought that when you did the horse smoking bit but assumed the jackals would come for you haha!
The authentic laughter of the crew is why I enjoy Seth Meyers above every other late night show.
Yeah
I agree, even when the laughter becomes authentic only when Seth stares at them a while
That rapport is magical.
yeah like they’re not super hyped and laughing at everything. and seth plays to the smaller crowd by going weird and specific instead of generic. some shows I like with a crowd, this one I prefer without
I too love the authenticity of the mirth.
I also felt this about some of Evie's responses with Colbert in lockdown. She genuinely loved and laughed at the silly shenanigans.
It made it so much more relatable and loved the genuineness of their relationship.

This is everyone's best part of the week, Seth.
Yes it is!
If Corrections is the only part of human civilization to survive this century, we will have done alright.
it really is
So true. I'm sad when there's no new Corrections on Friday.
A closer corrections!
This segment has really turned into a, "Did Batman create his villains or did the villains create Batman," situation.

My eyes are not good enough to tell for certain. My mother made many blankets, both knit and crochet, and I can't rule out that it isn't knit. I'll happily bow to anyone with more experience.
It is crocheted 😄
At this point he is just baiting the knitting/crocheting community. I think the graphics department is not the only one that likes being yelled at.
Honestly, not enough profanity in this correction. Just not a great representation of the knitting/crochet community.
Is the “crochet community” not a more militant breakaway faction of the knitters?
I wait for these every week, and whenever the show is on a break, I miss it dearly. It's fun, it's witty and it's hilarious. Inside jokes inside other inside jokes based on inside jokes that came from inside jokes. It's absurd, nonsensical and, honestly, fucking wonderful. And not having any audience during it is just the cherry on top.
Please never stop with these, Seth. It's a delightful part of my week, and I'm sure most of my fellow jackals would heartily and readily agree!
Loved Corrections this week. Had hoped for Emmy win because I think it is incredible how Seth spins comments into gold each week. Thank you for making me laugh out loud every time.
I suggest "Carpool Corrections," in which Seth is driven around by the skeleton in a Volvo while he reads this week's corrections.
But would it still be considered carpooling if with a skeleton?
@@barbarajoseph-adam8337 Yes, if the skeleton is driving. If the skeleton is in the passenger seat, you get a traffic ticket.
Did that skeleton have 8 cervical vertebrae? Hard to count the pixels. Anyone with HDTV want to confirm?
@@annekec4666 I'm watching on my phone. I can't see half the stuff people talk about in these segments. Still love then, though.
A skeleton with a Queens accent smoking a cigarette.
The joke about the priests was an Emmy winning joke, maybe a Pulitzer winning joke, dare I say it, a Nobel Prize.
Agreed. 👍I wonder how many people got it?
@@heatherdequetteville9184 at least 132
Um... pretty sure they don't hand out Nobels for humor. Emmy, yeah. Perhaps even Pulitzer. Plus Oscar, of course. But not Nobel, unless it was part of a scientific study on some fascinating fact about humor that is life-changing. 😄😆😂🤣😂😆😄
@@MaryAnnNytowl we wouldn’t be holding up the badge of jackal honor if we did not point out that there is in fact a Nobel Prize for Literature with no exclusion for humor. Though most Americans who’ve won were on the serious side Eugene O’Neil, Hemingway, Faulkner, Bob Dylan though Sinclair Lewis did win it for wit and humor
@@heatherdequetteville9184 Pretty much any Catholic currently practicing or escaped lol
Seth I too look forward to this segment, every week 🇬🇧.
“Corrections” was robbed! Should’ve won!!
You were one sentence away from saying "I swear it was rigged!"
And you know what, maybe yeah. Dominion should hand over their voting machines...🤣🤣
To be fair, I haven't watch Carpool Karaoke, but I agree, Corrections was robbed. And if it wasn't going to be Corrections, it should have been Tooning Out the News because that's also great entertainment.
@@joehemmann1156 Carpool Karaoke peaked with the RHCP, never gonna top that! It's been on the way down since then...
@@joehemmann1156 I’ve never watched it either but since it’s by James Corden it definitely sucks and should not have won, certainly not over Digital Inclusive Carrectiones!
@@MkurugenziMwenyekiti I think Hugo Chavez must of had a hand in it 🤣🤣
Those of us with OCD, find the weekly corrections extremely satisfying. Admitting he’s made a mistake, while humorously ridiculing the folks who let him know he was WRONG, is one of Seth’s special talents.
This is my favorite segment of all time. I hope it never ends. Genuinely, makes me laugh so much.
"Jackals raise my Hackles" :D my second favourite mug
Jackal Paws Tackle Flaws for #1?
@@Gildedmuse Yes, absolutely!
@@Gildedmuse 100% 😆
Same!
@@Gildedmuse that’s my absolute favorite
My favorite part is Wally Lore. I would love to see all of Seth's Amazing staff be given deep fictional backstory. Funny like this doesn't just happen folks, Seth has cultivated the finest most powerful tech team.
Now THAT is a cinematic universe I’d care to watch.
That bit with Scorsese was great
I, personally, love the Schumacher backstory. Such a vivid character
Please please please keep this format, even for just once in a while. It's so refreshing compared to the crowds and band format. It's like the best bits of late night and podcasts.
Seth is classy: This week, he offered sincere congratulations to and praise for "Carpool Karaoke," which beat out "Corrections" for this year's Emmy, and he gave a long tribute to Norm MacDonald, who took a mean (but, as you'd expect from Norm, funny) swipe at Seth and his show recently. In a biz with a lot of jackasses, Seth seems like a grounded, good guy. And I always look forward to "Corrections." 👏👏👏
Wait what did norm say about seth and his show?
@@mhoney7899 Is your Google broken?
Now it says "Carrections" lol 😆
@@LittleTreeBlue If you search for the video where Norm is interviewed by an Australian Reporter for Huffington Post, you’ll see the Seth Myers bit
That blasé oink at the end of the "smoking pig" bit was hilarious. Was that something they teach at impression camp?
This show was absolutely hysterical! “It’s a boy“ I will laugh every day for the rest of my life anytime I think of Wally being born!
I laughed the hardest I have this week, this month, even, when he held up that little sign.
I was expecting some photoshop image, but the real piece of paper "saved by mom" was great.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🌟🌹🤗
How often does Wally's birth enter your mind...?
@@snowsim is yudoing x(9
Corrections is a highlight of my week. I love what this show has become during the pandemic, you’re the only late night host who I think got better during this!
I think Colbert & Trevor Noah got better, too. But Seth and the team gloriously outdid everyone else. I dread the day Trevor and Seth go back to an audience. Sure it was nice to see how happy Stephen seemed to be in front of an audience again, I get what that gives (back) to a performer.
But the whole HUZZAH! SHOW! EXCITEMENT! of it seems kind shallow and offputting to me now. Rarely watch it anymore. Much prefer this more... personal, weirder, in-jokey version
Yes, I find the show much more enjoyable. It has a more personal touch to it.
@@peerblickdicht8401 I like Colbert with an audience, but it is a little different. He’s more lively, delighted to be there, and interacts with the crowd a little. But I don’t think everyone feeds off an audience the same way.
@@peerblickdicht8401 Trevor Noah is funnier at home & w/o audience, BUT I miss his polished, well informed & engaging interviews. He is an awesome interviewer!
I also miss 'Between the Scenes' when he sincerely interacts w/ audience & is brilliant w/o any script.
“All in all, we had a pretty good week”
Video runtime: 17 minutes
You're right. Longer would have been better. ☺
And he still didn’t get all the corrections! I was waiting for a correction about that flubbed Johnny 5 line! Short Circuit was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It deserves proper referencing. 😄
I like how seth has that unique rainbow-hand-motion he does at least once every clip
NBC store: We desperately need "CORRECTION JACKALS" t-shirts and hats!
I almost teared up when Seth finally admitted that this is his favorite part of the week.
Almost.
No worries, my friend. I cried enough for both of us. 😢😭
He loves getting back at the jackals
correction: this segment is more of a "carwrecktions" instead of "carrections" lol :P
Nice!
Karirrections? 👀 I think that might challenge the show's PG rating.
I used to love Friday for the weekend, now I love I for Corrections!
Self love is important
That last sentence and smile at the end felt like a hug from Seth.
Mug should say, “JACKALS RAISE MY HACKALS”, for euphony.
Imagine the uproar that would have caused
I totally saw the "cue cards are a part of him" bit coming.....but that didn't make it any less f×cking hilarious. You and your writers are top-notch, Seth, truly...
And the correction was erroneous anyway. When thanos snapped, everyone who disappeared went with the clothes on their back and came back the same. So the cue card would've gone with Wally
Seth: "Thank you for lending this to me, Wally, coz I guess your mom saved it."
Also Seth: Proceeds to crumple the piece of paper and tosses aside
I noticed that too! Give Wally the respect he is owed, Seth!!!!
That irked me, too! That's a precious family heirloom!!
That's a piece of baby Wally, like an arm or leg. Maybe it's like baby teeth
8
I was mildly enraged seeing Seth toss it to the side!
Also, since it came out with Wally at birth, perhaps it’s like a piece of the umbilical cord? I know my mom had kept a piece of my baby brother’s cord after he was born. Slightly gross, but there you go..
As a proud member of the knitting community, I absolutely love recent corrections :D.
You are easily angered and swear a lot?
And apparently y'all hold a hell of a grudge.. lol..
@@thesubhumancomedy I'm with you on this one...
Hey, say that again but as a member of the knitting community 😂😂😂😂
Ooo, can you confirm? Another comment says that flag blanket is crocheted, I think it may indeed be knit, but I'm not certain.
@@verdatum That's definitely crochet.
just watching the development of this bit over the last year has really felt like seeing Seth (and the show) really mature and develop the ability to inhabit an absolutely unique and remarkable - and hilarious - brand of humor. Corrections is the funniest thing on "TV" every week.
Correction: I'd like to make a small plea for the history of poetry here. "Parody" comes from the Greek "parodia," poems written in epic meter but treating subjects unworthy of epic (i.e., mock-epic). The variety of parody that you appeal to in this segment, in which the words of an original are modified to comedic effect (e.g., Weird Al) was, according to Aristotle, invented by the poet Hegemon of Thasos. So the first parodist was a poet!
Correction: The movie "Ring 2" is an actual movie, the sequel of the Japanese movie "Ring", for which the American "The Ring" was a remake. Hideo Nakata directed "Ring", "Ring 2" and "The Ring 2".
His imdb is quite infuriating, I reckon
💯 This is the kind of thoroughness that sets Jackals apart. Thank you for your service. 👍
Was it ever dubbed or subbed in English? I couldn't find anything about it, but i didn't do an extensive search. In case it really wasn't, the movie only has a Japanese name リング2, which is read as "Ringu 2". While it is meant to mean "Ring 2", it technically isn't called that.
@@Naryoril it's the romanization of the japanese phonetic spelling of an english word. Ringu totally means "ring". Does one pronounce the last letter in "ringu" unless one cannot pronounce english properly?
@@transsexual_computer_faery I remember when I first saw that the Japanese film was released in the US under the title "Ringu". That was such a weird lazy move. I rented it that same day thinking it was going to be so much better, and I knew it was super hyped in Japan. And I watched it with some friends, and even though we were/are all a bunch of weebs, at the end we all kinda looked at each other and were like "Was it just me, or did that film kinda suck?"
In terms of low-budget horror, I much prefer the original "Rec".
This auto-played after “A Closer Look.” I realized it was Friday just as it started loading, and my girlfriend in the other room just heard a gravelly “YES!” as the TV made my wish come true.
🙂
You making me realize today IS actually Friday and the week from hell is ...al...most...over.
Add me to the growing chorus of fans begging you NOT to ever bring back an audience!
As enjoyable as your show was pre-pandemic, its current vibe is just... more enjoyable! (And Carreckshuns has it all over Carpool Sudoku!)
Yeah, other late night talk shows that have returned to audiences just don't feel as funny with all the over-the-top laughter
At least film corrections after the audience leaves
Yep leave the audience to Amber.
"I had no idea I was doing that" seems true more often than not around here. I love Seth 💐❣️
I am very much looking forward to Seth's next attempt at making sense of anything knitting related. Or better still, he actually might start a knitting podcast, expert that he is, or is he? I mean, holding knitting needles downwards through a finished crocheted blanket with no live stitches anywhere, he must be a fiber genius!
Agreed! The knitting needles on a crocheted blanket are the real problem
I wept
It made me twitch.
I like that the graphics department called it "Carrections."
Also, I'm sure your fan from the knitting community pointed out that the picture you showed has you with knitting needles jammed into a crocheted blanket.
I love that they purposefully spelled it Carrections! 🤣 what's about the blanket? I'm confused about that
@@reneeschwider6136 The blanket is crocheted. You crochet with a single hook. But they've gone and jammed two knitting needles into it. Knitting and crocheting both make things out of yarn, but in very different ways.
It would be like if you had a picture of a cake in a skillet on a stovetop. Like yeah, you can cook food on the stovetop, but a cake needs to be baked in an oven and certainly not in a skillet.
THANK YOU. ITS CROCHET!
@@reneeschwider6136
This was an old photo of something else Seth did years ago...& it's come back to haunt him now! 🤣 I haven't looked for it yet, but I'm wondering if it was something for SNL...maybe around the 4th of July & about Betsy Ross. 🤔🤷♀️ Gotta love his expression in that pic though, huh?! 😄
Oh! I found it! It was for GQ. Cool. 😎✨🇺🇸
@@purpleiguana208 Yes, you are Carrect! I should have caught that 😂
All "Corrections" are gold, but this week's episode is gold+1. Props to the Graphics Dept. for stepping-up this week. #team_jackal #graphics_dept
The Catholic Church has always been against doing sloth. It’s a deadly sin
I guess some forgot to get to the lust part
HEYO
Correction: it's a "mortal" sin
I'm too lazy to do sloth
OHHHHHHHHHH
I fuckin' love this segment, and I love hearing Seth call us Jackals.
Corrections: Actually, the last blockbuster store didn’t close in 2019. There is one that is currently open in Bend, Oregon in the year 2021. Seth just needs a writer from Oregon at this point.
I spent the entire summer of '20 in Bend, and somehow just....forgot to swing by there. I meant to!!
I honestly prefer hearing just his crew laugh above a whole live audience.
I agree. It feels a lot more intimate and genuine.
Same. What I've noticed it that the jokes are less "pandery" - it feels as if seth is just trying to make the crew laugh not virtue signal and elicit a cheer/applause from the audience - which the us audiences are all too eager to do.
It's especially evident now that all other shows have gone back to live audiences. This is the only late show that i still watch, i just cant go back to the mindless cheering and applauding Inbetween every punchline (often disrupting the flow of the jokes)
But if you sat in the audience, you'd be clapping, cheering and hollaring just as much as anybody.
@Lidnsay Ortoleva Right though?
The show is a lot smarter without the studio audience. If you can make the writers laugh, that's a true feat.
I once spent a night as a wind-shield wiper: we were on a road trip through Europe in a VW Van with the Sziget festival as end destination. When we drove through Slovakia it started to pour excessively and we figured out another one of the van's many flaws, but we couldn't delay lest we miss the start of the festival. So we tied a piece of rope on the wiper and looped it through the windows and I spent a couple of hours kind of doing that motion you do when drying your back with a towel... Maybe not the safest solution, but man that was a good summer.
Love that dedication and ingenuity!
Very MacGyver!!! 👏👏👏
Awesome story!
Wipers-related...
My parents met when they were teenagers (married 47 years). My dad got a new car & the wipers control was a pedal/control on the floor. He told my mom it was controlled by tapping the dash in a really specific way...
Every time he tapped it, he also pressed the control with his foot. The wipers worked.
Every time she tried, he did not - the rhythm wasn't right, she was too gentle, too harsh, not hitting the right spot, had to 'double tap'... and so on. That part of the story is better acted out, but use your imaginations, I'm sure you'll get there.
It's survived almost 50 years & it's still hilarious.
@@gmun2248 That’s such a cute & funny story!
One time my mom was on a trip with her brother and the exact same problem occurred. Luckily, when they pulled over they found a squeegee in the trunk. So my uncle spent hours hanging out the side of the car being the windshield whipper so mom could drive.
Already loved this segment, but having a correction featured is just amazing. Glad all those other L's were missing so it made sense to mention the Doritos graphic.
I love your corrections they are the best laughs all rolled into one. You’re graphic team is first class at trolling you. And I appreciate and love them for it. Keep up the great work graphic team!!!
Single greatest segment on the internet today. Had me in stitches by the end. I really do hope you enjoy doing this as much as we do. You'll always be tied for first in our hearts.
YOU WANT A JACKAL CORRECTION, HERE'S ONE. When talking about the films made in Astoria, Oregon including The Ring 2 and how they wouldn't know what you were talking about if you asked for it at a Blockbuster, you said that the last Blockbuster closed in 2019, when in fact, there is one, and only one, remaining and it is in Bend, Oregon!
If people wanna like this so they can see it, that'd be dope haha
Correction to your correction. There is more than one Blockbuster in Australia and New Zealand right now.
@@Michael-Masi-911 correction to the correction to corrections: the one in Australia closed in 2019 and the one in New Zealand closed in 2020
Happy to support your correction😂...there is a doc called THE LAST BLOCKBUSTER currently on Netflix, it's about the store in Bend and the demise of Blockbuster
I scrolled and scrolled looking for this correction. TY 😁
I typed Goonies into Wikipedia and it said "Redirecting to The Goonies", so I guess now Wikipedia is a Jackal too
That small cue card is very clean for having been through a child birth.
Yes, it didn't look as old as Wally either.
Also it kinda doesn't look like a card-card, you know? Stiff like a card-card. Props department?
@@MkurugenziMwenyekiti Well, Wally had to grow, so maybe his cards too. :-)
I was looking for this. The card should have been pink, or maybe in a zip lock bag or something.
@@tbh1444 or laminated lol
I feel like calling "Carpool Karaoke" one of the greatest talk show bits of all time deserves a correction. That is clearly in error.
Well it is pretty cool esp when it's a singer you like and you can't deny it's popularity. At its core it's a very fun idea. Now did it deserve to win this year?? Of course not
This show is a goddamn joy
[EDIT: And I think part of that is bc there's no live audience. PLEASE do it this way forever! The silences are indeed golden.]
It's 4am on a Friday morning.
My new favorite time of the week.
Thanks Seth and crew !!!
correction: the last blockbuster did Not close in 2019. there's still a blockbuster in bend, oregon and it's a big (arguably film?) tourism site (and in the middle of a joke about film tourism in oregon, seth, come on)
Yep. Came here to say this...
finally someone else noticed this 🙏
Seth will have to Bend Oregon and take this correction.
We need a set of the Jackals mugs to be sold for Gods Love We Deliver pls

Not technically a correction, but the "correction pickle" is essentially the same as Zugzwang, a chess term for a situation where there's no good move, but you still must act. Special bonus in that Zugzwang sounds like a German pickle brand. (To Americans, at least. To Germans, it would sound like an energy drink, since it literally translates as "compulsion to move" )
Zugzwang is German. So it sounds like Zugzwang to us
Sorry, German=No humor
@@blauespony1013 Maybe your second reply means you already know this, but, just in case, ... OP is simply saying that people who know the meaning of a word will have different associations to it than those who only recognize what language the word comes from, and then make associations to what little they know of the language's culture.
OP knows that Germans are hearing "Zugzwang" in their own language, with no need to mentally translate. A word that means "compulsion to move" does sound like a good brand name for an energy drink (except "compulsion" might have too-negative connotations)! I wonder what actual German energy drink brand names (and their English translations) are? Do you know any? ////Bunny kisses for all!
@@DelinahLovesHouseBunnies You will laugh ... Energy Drinks here usually have English names (Red Bull, Monster, LevelUp Gaming Booster, Rockstar, Energy ... I did not find one German name) and we do not translate "Energy Drink" itself. "Energie Getränk" would sound just too lame, I guess.
Enjoy your weekend.
@@blauespony1013 Oh, my goodness! I figured the huge brands like Red Bull and Monster would be in many countries, but I expected you to have _some_ homegrown competition.

Thanks for the reply. There's something new to learn every day! So _that's_ why Zugzwang doesn't make you think of an energy drink; all your energy drinks have English names! 🤯 ////Bunny kisses for all!
The Randy Newman cassette tape story about Seth and Josh sitting on the roadside in the Festiva with no windshield wipers waiting for the rain to stop had me in stitches and tears at the same time!! Tragically hilarious.

Correction: when explaining why cockroaches have spiracles you said that it because they have Thier lungs on the side, cockroaches do not actually have lungs, the spiracles supply oxygen directly to fluid which then circulates around the bugs body supplying oxygen to its tissues.
this!!
This is such a nice way to end the week, and start off the weekend. Keep doing Corrections, Seth. I love it!
Given that Wally typically uses 14 inch by 22 inch cue cards and if the cue card grew in relation to Wally's size, then as a baby, his cue card would be smaller than what you utilized. To exactly determine the cue card growth, you would have to decide whether to compare surface area or use a weight basis. Either way, the baby cue card should be smaller. Back up calculations available upon request. You have been jackal'd!!
Actually the size of the card is determined by the chest size of the person holding it up. Therefore their example was spot on correct.
@@yrtepgold Seth explains that Wally was born with the card. He goes on to refer to the cards as "the same as arms and legs". From this reference that would mean the card is biological in nature and as such should grow in reference to the size of the baby to the size of the adult.
Adult cue card: 14in by 22in = 308in^2, Baby cue card: 3in by 5in = 15in^2 a growth rate of 20.53 for surface area and weight basis given the paper thickness and density is the same and constant for both cue cards.
An average adult has a surface area of 1.9m^2. A new born baby has a surface area of 0.25m^2. (I found the numbers on the internet. I did not physically measure the surface area.)
0.25m^2 x (308in^2/15in^2) = 5.13m^2
1.9m^2 / 0.25m^2 = 7.6 growth rate
308in^2 / 7.6 growth rate = 40.53in^2 baby cue card or 5.44in by 7.44in
I previously said smaller, but that was weight based with some assumptions. Only way to verify the correctness of this hypothetical absurdity is if Wally publicly weighs while displaying his birth weight certificate. The 20.53 growth rate is much closer on weight basis.
In conclusion, I see where you are coming from but I am prepared to argue.
@@adamz8276 I'm sorry, you lost me with "the card is biological in nature".
@@adamz8276 I think the card size can be whatever they want it to be, because each cell type grows at its own rate, and the card comprises an unknown cell type(s). Teeth grow at a different rate from liver, skin, nails, ... In fact, different _areas_ of skin, mucous membrane, bone, etc., grow at different rates, plus they react to stimuli; e.g., bone responds to weight-bearing exercise by growing thicker and denser, and palm and sole skin grows especially fast to compensate for all the friction.
Proportions change from infant to child to adult! Since Wally is unique in having this feature, you can't know how the cue card size should (or should _not_ ) have changed in proportion to the rest of Wally's body as he grew up; that's like saying, "How long should his tail grow, infant to adult?" There's a wide range of acceptable answers that fit with what we see in other mammals, from bear or hamster to cheetah, and he could even be an extreme outlier, with a much longer tail than any other known creature. Your reasoning reminds me of those medieval painters who painted babies that looked like adults shrunken down with preserved adult proportions (they did it to represent the idea of Jesus as a homunculus).^
I like that you're trying to work it out scientifically, but you forgot that body proportions change quite a bit from infant to adult, and different cell types/organs grow at different rates. So there's nothing wrong with the cue cards having changed size/volume in proportion to the rest of Wally's body as he grew up. And I'm guessing he sheds them like snake skin in order to show new words on new cards?!
Actually, *@Pete Reno* makes a lot of sense. If we assume Wally with his cue card organ is born functional, and a stack of chest-sized cue cards are comfortable for an adult to hold, then newborn Wally should hold a newborn-chest-sized cue card or smaller. Because infant arms are weak, it was just one cue card, not a stack, and it was as thin as typical letter paper instead of cardstock. Newborns have that grip/certain amount of arm strength, so I'm sure newborn Wally could hold up that "It's a boy!" cue card, which would be something like a fingernail (maybe not even requiring grip, since it's part of him, but requiring holding one or both arms up to display); then, he shed it when he had something new to say. (Which reminds me: Parents, teach your babies infant sign language! It cuts down so much on both parental and infant frustration when a 6-month-old can sign what they want.) ////Bunny kisses for all!

Corrections is the best. My favourite late night stuff by far. I love the different feel of the humour, it just hits all the right notes and I can't help but laugh my ass off.
Correction - Possibly a British thing but when you do something accidentally here you would do it by accident and not on accident. You might do it on purpose though... e.g., if you were jackal baiting? Love this bit!
No, not just a British thing. It should be “by accident” or “on purpose.”
Sally, my ears hurt when I hear "on accident". The US has so many regional differences like this that we enjoy fighting over. For this one thing, I can agree with the Brits. Another one that my ears don't like is "waiting on line" instead of in line... Though I assume you say "queueing" or something!
@@sdence So true! Being 'on line' means being connected to the internet.
@@sdence Ah queuing, the British pastime...For that we would say we're queuing but we'd also be waiting in line... Waiting on line sounds like you literally have to stand on a line... This confuses me...

Oh boy if you tried to explain the sentence “I heard from the knitting community again” a year ago

whoever came up with this segment deserves a raise!!!
Hmm, the snap didn't leave piles of clothes behind, right? and everyone came back with the clothes they were wearing when snapped. Plus like there weren't piles of pacemakers and glasses everywhere. So seems correct that wally took the card with him
I always figured it was part of his costume.
If Bucky's cybernetic arm gets dusted, so should Wally's cue card
The Pager for Captain Marvel was left after Fury was dusted. I think the answer is that clothes and accessories were dusted _UNLESS_ they had plot significance. So clearly Wally's cue cards had played their part.
An argument could also be made that a cue card is essentially linked to it's holder. Which makes sense - a cue card isn't really a cue card without the guy holding it. Just some sign.
The jackels are starting to eat themselves

@@typerexc so remember to wear hip boots.
I'm starting to get excited for these. They never disappoint.
As a photographer, I can attest that the blurring seen in the skeleton Volvo shot is not necessarily an indicator of speed. You can get the same blurring with a slow car and a longer exposure, or a fast car and a short exposure.
So I assume the Volvo was stuck in traffic and the photographer used a tripod to allow for a very long shutter speed with a tight aperture, possibly a neutral density filter.
Since people tend to allow too much room when lining up in traffic it's quite possible that this car was still crawling forward despite no other cars in view. An astute photographer would in fact make a point to wait for the ideal circumstances to isolate the subject.
As usual carrections is the highlight of my YT week.
In a pinch, you could also manually drop the ASA of the film to allow for a longer exposure. 👍
The tripod would then have to be in another car which was moving at the same speed as the Volvo, so that the background gets blurry...
@@mookymookymooo A hovercraft would probably provide a smoother ride; less chance of blurring other than what was intended.
@@Panzer_the_Merganser the lengths the graphics dept goes to... Astounding
@@mookymookymooo Couldn’t agree more. I believe it’s all that sweet sweet Jackal mug revenue.
The show is fantastic, but this segment is what elevates it to greatness. Congrats to everyone making it possible!
"Corrections" is it new comedy genre.
I don't know what they're doing here but it's funny.
You said that ‘we’re on accident doing jokes that good’. I cringe when I hear someone say ‘on accident’ instead of ‘by accident’ (although in this case you probably should have said accidentally). To try to better myself, I found my wife and asked her: ‘Seth said on accident instead of by accident. Is that worthy of a correction or should I leave him alone?’ She responded: ‘Yes it is. That’s despicable.’ So here we are.
I agree with your wife!
"that well", not "that good".
Wait, is your wife Sylvester the cat?
@@verdatum nah, that changes the meaning. good refers to the joke, well refers to doing.
Sorry-just commented something to the same effect by accident before scrolling down and seeing your comment. You’re spot on, here.
Seth is just poking at Oregon jackals to get a reaction at this point.
The last Blockbuster is here in Bend, and it opens at 10:30 every day.
He just instigating now.
Came here to say this. You could go to The Last Blockbuster, confuse them by asking for "Ring 2," rent THE Ring 2, go to mass, hear a priest doing Sloth, drive to Astoria, watch The Ring 2 at the Goonies Jail, and then go to night mass & hear the same priest doing Sloth at the church he was reassigned to for doing Sloth at mass that morning.
@@ColeArmstrongSF Impressive combo! *"Finish him!"* ////Bunny kisses for all!
00:39 I'm British, and have never come across someone that has a problem with the word transportation. It would probably be the norm to abbreviate it to transport for convenience, but transportation isn't wrong.
Seth, don't cross the "knitters" they carry pointy sticks!!
Awe, he just wanted to say “see you next week” like a normal person, but he knew he couldn’t! Bad jackals!
Last Blockbuster is still open in Bend, Oregon
How close is that to Astoria?
You beat me to it. But I know he's just throwing Jackal bait lol

"This is my favourite part of the week". Seth has just admitted to being a jackal. One of us! One of us!
He said that at the end, so his favorite part of the week is the *end* of Carrections for the week. This is the longest time before he has to do another Carrections.
@@jb888888888 I like my interpretation better 😁
He did say "the jackals are in the house"
I live in Winnipeg Canada. The pandemic has been hard and sometimes i break down in tears. It is really embarrassing when people stop to see if I am okay.
Funny thing is, I recently got a Mets hat and people have stopped asking why I am crying. 😢
Corrections reminds me of stand-up at a small comedy club. I love it
Oh my god man! I'm laughing so hard my neighbor just popped over the fence and asked what's so funny? Corrections is easy to explain in the abstract, yeah ok he's going over all the flubs and small mistakes in the week. Watching every day, though, makes this a real joy. I see the small mistakes, maybe just a mispronounced word or something, and we all know that one jerk that will point it out and use that small "incorectness" to discount the rest of what you said because of it. They are everywhere. You hear them. You address them. You make them feel like idiots. Thank you so much. It's hard to say all that to a neighbor so here I am. Keep fighting the good fight
Incorrectness has two R’s, Jason.
@@tonyarichards5430 jackal! Ha
@@jasonwelch3778 Jackal. Yep! Lol
I love Corrections. We love it!
@E Ardlow he's more purple than white and your backdrop is more of a brown-ish shade. I think RUclips randomizes those for diversity's sake ;)
This is the only late night show worth watching. Including the ones in my and neighbouring countries. Keep it like this. 'Tis the best.
I can confirm that horses only breathe through their nose. It is so they can graze and smell at the same time to "keep a nose out" for predators :) I actually thought that when you did the horse smoking bit but assumed the jackals would come for you haha!
this is a great segment. the way he brings the audience into the jokes is great.
