I feel like years of shitty late night hosts has led to this absolute madman of a host. I have never been so genuinely entertained but such silly jokes and dumb bits. between the team and Seth's own goobertude it's honestly a magical experience
Corrections is awesome. Though late night with letterman was probably a bit more bonksh*t because there was less health and safety and social rules. He threw objects off 30 Rock like TVs, had a huge (staged) Andy Kaufman fight with a wrestler (like full on Jerry springer) And by today’s standards, harasses a girl who worked in the building opposite in a law firm. Like camera pointed at her window, gets her to throw stuff out if it. Even was a guest
Omg this was so fun. Corrections is always a blast but I feel like Seth's energy was on a different level this week, like he was vibrating a bit and really enjoying himself. Even before the goldmine of his last joke! Which I am about to watch over and over again. Ah who am I kidding, might as well rewatch the whole thing. His Russian Happy Days song was also a delight. Also, maybe not technically a correction for Shoemaker but I do wish he had shouted out "speaking of the ocean" on air.
As *soon* as I heard that new British accent, I knew there was no way Seth makes it through that bit. It's a bit like Fight Club, watching one guy fight with himself, one half trying to do comedy, the other laughing his ass off at the first guy. I was in tears. I needed this SO much after a really crappy week. Thank you Seth and team!
CORRECTION: Mezcal bottles often contain a larvA. One larva. "Larvae" is the plural of larva. Just like you would eat "one biscotto", or "two biscotti".
yes! "biscatto, biscotti" is my favorite song in "Cicada, Cicada"! i don't know if it is about baked goods alone or is a double-entendre, given the slang meanings. either way, it's excellent! i hope he leaves out the third "larva, larvae" verse. i never liked that one. thanks, grammar friend.

@@pasde2 The OP is referring to the last word BEFORE "see me next week", which was Twinnings, which is a mispronunciation of Twinings, which rhymes with "whinings" as someone has pointed out above.
You referred to the jackal bobblehead as Ed when its name is clearly Jack. Also the Queens favourite gin, and possessor of the royal warrant, is Gordons Gin, not Beefeater. A true British spy would not have made this mistake.
All ye jackals! Seth didn't mispronounce Twinings. He was making a riff on the expression 'I'm going to go home and count my winnings'. So the correction is his use of the word 'collect' instead of 'count'.
You dodged a bullet by cutting the Fuddruckers in Lake Minnetonka joke. Lake Minnetonka refers to the literal lake. Minnetonka refers to the suburb itself. No correction needed, but hoo boy. A lot more people, and presumably jackals, live in Minnetonka than Owatonna or Oconomowoc. Jack in the Box in Oconomowoc is a very good joke, despite Oconomowoc being in Wisconsin and not having a Jack in the Box.
That's quite the flex on your writers. Surprise Inspection earlier this week, and then a solid 10 minutes of laughter for Corrections written by yourself. Thanks Seth!
Okay, but can we talk about how the Jackal head moves in EXACTLY the same way that Seth's does when Seth is doing his theatrically sarcastic voice--like a nod and an eye-roll at the same time.
Also, Oconomowoc is in Wisconsin - not Minnesota lmao. I'm surprised no one on your staff brought that up when discussing that there wasn't a Jack In The Box in Oconomowoc edit: i still thought the joke was funny though
That was exactly what I wanted to point out - who cares that they don’t have a Jack in the Box, it’s not even the MN border side of Wisconsin! I’d forgive Hudson, maybe even as far as Eau Claire. But Oconomowoc? There’s so many other fun Minnesota city names if that’s what you want.
The original joke they didn’t specify that they were doing only Minnesota towns. When it aired, I was like “upper Midwestern towns with fun names, OK!” But now he’s specified that they were supposed to be MN towns, which I assume is how he is making sure he will get to say “Oconomowoc” about 12 more times next week. Sometimes I just say “Oconomowoc” quietly to myself for no reason at all, so I get it.
As an international viewer I really appreciated that explanation of the Jets. Also that last joke was pure gold. Also, is anyone else missing the graphics team?
3:53: Correction on correction: that graph is actually correct: since the axis are not labelled: the scale can be interpreted. This is a tendency graph. We actually see these a lot, in commercials and sketchy demos. If the Y-axis is 70 to 75-ish, the graph is absolutely correct.
Seth starts his "Happy Days" parody with "Monday, Tuesday...". The correct lyrics actually start with "Sunday, Monday...". I feel like you can see Seth realizes his mistake when he says "Wednesday, Thursday..." and realizes the next verse would be "Friday, Saturday" when in fact it should all end on "Saturday, what a day..." (or, "Saturday, is also day..." in the Russian version) and just bails on the entire joke.
correcting your corrections - in much of the world, weeks on calendars and such start on monday. I'd have to check how they do or did it in Russia, but many people do start their week on monday
A few internet photos of the Fonz show the jacket as black but I remember it being a brown color too. Also I remember his first jacket being a grey windbreaker and not red.
That joke at the end did it for me! I love the personal additions and side comments adding jokes to the premiss or punchline, the call backs. Lmfao I sit smoke and watch the vids after work. I catch up on current events with some levity and humor but still clear, interesting, and meaningful conversation and topics. Word I'm not a commenter but I did wanna say that.
What a lovely final unseen Corrections for me to end on. "A Jack in the Box in Oconomowoc" had me rolling. I can't believe I started with Episode 57 and didn't go back straight away and rewatch these, better late than never though. It's been a really rough year. This Days, While Not Happy Are Still Days though, and Corrections has been a huge bright spot for me to look forward to every week.
It's been fun to see over time - graduating from pencil on the back of the cleaning card to actual typewritten notes felt like watching a Pokémon evolve
CORRECTION: When Seth admitted to being a British spy, the accent he used wasn't British. It was the accent that confused Americans use when they don't know which British accent to choose and try to do them all at once.
I have to correct a correction here: That life expectancy graph (3:54) is bad but not for the stated reason. There are no indications of what scale the x and y axes are meant to be, so it doesn't matter if where the arrow is now is 76.1 because there is no way to know based on what is indicated by the graph what it was before. Each line on the grid could be a year, it could be six months, it could be one month, it could be five minutes, there's no way to know. We _also_ don't know over what timescale the graph is indicating the change has occurred - so maybe that level of fluctuation is a decline happening between 2012 and 2022, or it could be a decline happening between August 2022 and September 2022, or it could be a change that occurred between September 8th through September 10th 2022. We just don't know. Also good data presentation would have labelled the values of each peak and trough along the line to give a general sense of the changes (plus the arrowhead at the end of the line is a little tacky - no statistician worth their math would do that because for all we know the line will bounce back up again next year). Furthermore, the peaks and troughs in the line occur at inconsistent intervals indicating that the data was likely not regularly updated (you'd want to sample this sort of data at regular intervals to obtain a clearer sense of the shifts - those long periods between the collection points could be masking fluctuations we don't see in this graph). Not only is this graph wholly inadequate for the previously mentioned reasons, it actually indicates that the data collection that went into the research the graph is intended to represent is potentially not reliable. TL;DR: The graph is bad but not because the scale indicates that the original life expectancy was over a thousand years old, but rather because there is no scale at all and because the statisticians who did the original research were probably letting the team down.
@@tiffanyanderson9437 During 2019-2020, Australia experienced what are now known as the "Black Summer bushfires". I have been made to graph those bushfires in geo-location plot point form from NASA weather satellite data. I have had to map out koala sightings from that period in the same geo-location data plot point form and overlay them into a single time progression map. I have had to statistically account for COVID-based declines in koala observers to determine the likely real figure variance in koala populations due to said bushfires. I have had to graph the mass incineration and near extinction of koalas across a whole state in bar chart and line graph form and compare it to three prior years of data to indicate overall trends in population for comparison. I have stared into statistical hell _and graphed it._ So I don't truck with these flight-of-fancy Business Major "third quarter projection" style graphs that don't mean anything. What do they know of the statistical trenches real data scientists have to fight in? What horrors have _they_ seen up in their brightly-lit board room presentations with their nonsense line graph arrows and their inconsistent use of axis scales? They play with numbers like children... unprepared for the horrors of statistical war... heaven forbid that the powers that be draft them into service, for they will not return innocent from that data-driven nightmare. They think that they can graph a thing and win their meetings... in true statistics there are no winners... only carnage.
I’m not sure if you’re meant to be drinking the Queen’s gin since you kind of didn’t finish your statement, but the Queen’s gin was Gordon’s London Dry Gin just so you know.
Honestly, only because I know people are going to correct it & it'll probably be brought up next time, points for purposefully mispronouncing Twinings just for the sake of the pun & pissing off us Jackals. But seriously saw the lead up from a mile away & still couldn't stop the visceral cringe from hearing it pronounced "Twin"ings!
He also already forgot how to pronounce "short-lived." Like Twinings, it should also have a long i, of course. (Seth, once again, the -lived in short-lived comes from "life," not "living." Think of it as "short-lifed" if you have to.)
9:10 you call Beefeater Gin “the queen’s.” The Queen’s preferred gin was Gordon’s. Incidentally, her favorite cocktail, which I’ve read she had almost every day, was two parts Dubonnet, one part Gordon’s, and a lemon wheel. Try it! It’s, um, a pretty wild thing to drink everyday, I’ll just say that.
@@pipster1891 nope. There are articles a few years ago that reported she started the day with Dubonnet and Gin with breakfast, a martini with lunch, and Champaign with dinner. Then one of the royal chefs said in an interview those other articles were wrong and she didn’t even drink everyday. So who knows how much of that is true, but I have read it.

Longtime/first-time jackal: There isn’t an Oconomowoc in Minnesota (it’s in Wisconsin). And “a Fuddruckers on Lake Minnetonka” is arguably funnier, given that there would never be one in any of the very well-to-do communities on the lake.
CORRECTION (kinda): Oconomowoc is in Wisconsin. You were naming Minnesota towns and Mankato and Owatonna are in Minnesota, but (unless there's a small town I can't find on the map of Minnesota) Oconomowoc is just in Wisconsin.
Seth, you need to check out the movie “Raise the Titanic.” I remember seeing it many years ago and thought it hilarious, go right to the ending. They find the Titanic on the bottom of the ocean, fully intact. IF I remember it correctly, they’re able to raise it by inflating balloon sacks underneath it, and it comes to the surface making a lot of hysterical wood-type groaning noises on the way up. The ship remains in one piece, with all the deck chairs still in good shape and on the deck. It is listing badly and very wet😂🤣 causing all the deck chairs to dramatically slide. Gotta love the minds that came up with this one!
Clive Cussler- it was a whole novel. Part of the fantastic Dirk Pitt series of books, I think the title was actually "Raise the Titanic!". The rest of the books have equally ridiculous plots.
@@dylananderson1867 Thank you for the info! I had no idea on the origin. God, what an absolutely bonkers plot, right down to the ship listing because of, y’know, the pesky big hole in the side and all... I just looked up the cast of the movie and it had Jason Robards and Alec Guinness in it! 🫣

Also, love the Jackal bait on the very last word before “see me next week”, you all know it’s on purpose at this point! 😂
We're back to the command from the instructor! 😄
It's not bait, it's acknowledgment, as it's actually the CORRECT thing to say. We corrected him before, when he said he would see us.
@@pasde2 The OP is referring to the last word BEFORE "see me next week", which was Twinnings, which is a mispronunciation of Twinings, which rhymes with "whinings" as someone has pointed out above.
You referred to the jackal bobblehead as Ed when its name is clearly Jack. Also the Queens favourite gin, and possessor of the royal warrant, is Gordons Gin, not Beefeater. A true British spy would not have made this mistake.
Re: the bobblehead he was referring to Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson's longtime sidekick/announcer
Seth made that mistake, because he's actually a Canadian spy 🤫
I'm not sure I've ever seen Gordon's gin in the US. Tanqueray reigns supreme.
@@busylawbee Oh, of course it's there. That's what my husband used in his martinis, since the fifties.
Based on that accent, seems more like a German spy attempting a British accent, so I'd say the choice of gin tracks ;)
One of the best yet. Seth barely able to get the groaner “Twinnings” out was fabulous. Keep Calm and Carry On!
I can hear Her Magesty saying "Oh, reeeally" quietly, but with an amused smile.🍸🍵👭👑🇬🇧
All ye jackals! Seth didn't mispronounce Twinings. He was making a riff on the expression 'I'm going to go home and count my winnings'. So the correction is his use of the word 'collect' instead of 'count'.
That was such a long walk, and it was worth every second.
I love the subtle touch that he specifically put Twinings English Breakfast Tea in his gin. Details matter.
You dodged a bullet by cutting the Fuddruckers in Lake Minnetonka joke. Lake Minnetonka refers to the literal lake. Minnetonka refers to the suburb itself. No correction needed, but hoo boy. A lot more people, and presumably jackals, live in Minnetonka than Owatonna or Oconomowoc. Jack in the Box in Oconomowoc is a very good joke, despite Oconomowoc being in Wisconsin and not having a Jack in the Box.
Richfield native here, but moved east for college. I miss the lakes!
Hilarious ending! Putting the teabag in that cup of Beefeaters gin, just hilarious!
This is the highlight of the week for me and gets me in the right headspace for the weekend! Thank you, Seth! Much love!
That's quite the flex on your writers. Surprise Inspection earlier this week, and then a solid 10 minutes of laughter for Corrections written by yourself. Thanks Seth!
Okay, but can we talk about how the Jackal head moves in EXACTLY the same way that Seth's does when Seth is doing his theatrically sarcastic voice--like a nod and an eye-roll at the same time.
I've watched corrections since last 2021 and up until today i've never had the impulse to YELL at my screen. Until today. TWINNINGS?! Thank you.
Also, Oconomowoc is in Wisconsin - not Minnesota lmao. I'm surprised no one on your staff brought that up when discussing that there wasn't a Jack In The Box in Oconomowoc
edit: i still thought the joke was funny though
Thank you.
I was only assuming that he was trolling the jackels by not even mentioning that, 😂
That was exactly what I wanted to point out - who cares that they don’t have a Jack in the Box, it’s not even the MN border side of Wisconsin! I’d forgive Hudson, maybe even as far as Eau Claire. But Oconomowoc? There’s so many other fun Minnesota city names if that’s what you want.
Searching for this comment. Thank you!
The original joke they didn’t specify that they were doing only Minnesota towns. When it aired, I was like “upper Midwestern towns with fun names, OK!” But now he’s specified that they were supposed to be MN towns, which I assume is how he is making sure he will get to say “Oconomowoc” about 12 more times next week.
Sometimes I just say “Oconomowoc” quietly to myself for no reason at all, so I get it.
As an international viewer I really appreciated that explanation of the Jets. Also that last joke was pure gold. Also, is anyone else missing the graphics team?
3:53:
Correction on correction: that graph is actually correct: since the axis are not labelled: the scale can be interpreted. This is a tendency graph. We actually see these a lot, in commercials and sketchy demos.
If the Y-axis is 70 to 75-ish, the graph is absolutely correct.
Seth starts his "Happy Days" parody with "Monday, Tuesday...". The correct lyrics actually start with "Sunday, Monday...". I feel like you can see Seth realizes his mistake when he says "Wednesday, Thursday..." and realizes the next verse would be "Friday, Saturday" when in fact it should all end on "Saturday, what a day..." (or, "Saturday, is also day..." in the Russian version) and just bails on the entire joke.
correcting your corrections - in much of the world, weeks on calendars and such start on monday. I'd have to check how they do or did it in Russia, but many people do start their week on monday
Such is life in Moscow.
No weekend in Soviet Russia!
@@seansmith3058 In Soviet Russia, week ends you!
@@roonilwazlib9877 They actually did try and abolish it in the 30s. Stalin was a real jerk.
Super-long time listener, first time jackal: Fonzie’s jacket was brown, not black. Weird, I know.
My god, I love this show!
A few internet photos of the Fonz show the jacket as black but I remember it being a brown color too. Also I remember his first jacket being a grey windbreaker and not red.
Mandela effect
As with 007's shaken martini, Seth's signature spy drink is Gin tea, cold brewed Gin tea.
I hope that corrections has a long future. It's intimate and simply silly. Unique and somehow adorable.
I am thrilled that we have so much international input here in the comments for Corrections to help keep Seth on his front toes!
Gold. Yall deserve an Emmy or something.
Love the inglorious basterds reference haha
That joke at the end did it for me! I love the personal additions and side comments adding jokes to the premiss or punchline, the call backs. Lmfao I sit smoke and watch the vids after work. I catch up on current events with some levity and humor but still clear, interesting, and meaningful conversation and topics. Word I'm not a commenter but I did wanna say that.
The last bit about him being British is HILARIOUS 😂 the accent is spot on Bond villain
Ok, “collect my twinnings” made me bust out laughing
Funny how two videos I've watched this morning have referenced Carson's use of city names. 😂
No one, no one, is funnier than Seth. Crying laughing.
today corrections seems to have come from one of the fast and furious movies and the name would be: Corrections - So Fast So Good 🤣
What a lovely final unseen Corrections for me to end on. "A Jack in the Box in Oconomowoc" had me rolling. I can't believe I started with Episode 57 and didn't go back straight away and rewatch these, better late than never though. It's been a really rough year. This Days, While Not Happy Are Still Days though, and Corrections has been a huge bright spot for me to look forward to every week.
The Happy Days bit brought me so much joy 😂
My god I love it when Seth cracks himself up‼️The last joke was splendid. Tut tut cheerio. ❤
Aside from the errors, this was very humourous. Bravo, sir. Bravo. 👏🏻
“Monday, Tuesday, these are days” had me ROLLING
Is Seth literally checking off jokes on a checklist as he tells them? That's gotta be some max organized humor.
It's been fun to see over time - graduating from pencil on the back of the cleaning card to actual typewritten notes felt like watching a Pokémon evolve
I think it is the list of corrections. He goes in order according to the day he made the mistake.
Just notes about the specific corrections he wants to mention.
he's checking to see who's laughing so he can fire them later
CORRECTION: When Seth admitted to being a British spy, the accent he used wasn't British. It was the accent that confused Americans use when they don't know which British accent to choose and try to do them all at once.
I think he's going for something like M in the 60s Bond movies?
@@SimonBuchanNz He's doing Fassbender's character from Inglorious Basterds
It sounds a lot like James Mason to me.
@@Midori_Seabreeze Inglorious Basterds bar scene.
It was a bit like Craig Ferguson doing a German accent
I have to correct a correction here: That life expectancy graph (3:54) is bad but not for the stated reason.
There are no indications of what scale the x and y axes are meant to be, so it doesn't matter if where the arrow is now is 76.1 because there is no way to know based on what is indicated by the graph what it was before. Each line on the grid could be a year, it could be six months, it could be one month, it could be five minutes, there's no way to know. We _also_ don't know over what timescale the graph is indicating the change has occurred - so maybe that level of fluctuation is a decline happening between 2012 and 2022, or it could be a decline happening between August 2022 and September 2022, or it could be a change that occurred between September 8th through September 10th 2022. We just don't know. Also good data presentation would have labelled the values of each peak and trough along the line to give a general sense of the changes (plus the arrowhead at the end of the line is a little tacky - no statistician worth their math would do that because for all we know the line will bounce back up again next year).
Furthermore, the peaks and troughs in the line occur at inconsistent intervals indicating that the data was likely not regularly updated (you'd want to sample this sort of data at regular intervals to obtain a clearer sense of the shifts - those long periods between the collection points could be masking fluctuations we don't see in this graph). Not only is this graph wholly inadequate for the previously mentioned reasons, it actually indicates that the data collection that went into the research the graph is intended to represent is potentially not reliable.
TL;DR: The graph is bad but not because the scale indicates that the original life expectancy was over a thousand years old, but rather because there is no scale at all and because the statisticians who did the original research were probably letting the team down.
Ah, a dedicated Jackal. Cheers!🍾
@@tiffanyanderson9437 During 2019-2020, Australia experienced what are now known as the "Black Summer bushfires".
I have been made to graph those bushfires in geo-location plot point form from NASA weather satellite data. I have had to map out koala sightings from that period in the same geo-location data plot point form and overlay them into a single time progression map. I have had to statistically account for COVID-based declines in koala observers to determine the likely real figure variance in koala populations due to said bushfires. I have had to graph the mass incineration and near extinction of koalas across a whole state in bar chart and line graph form and compare it to three prior years of data to indicate overall trends in population for comparison.
I have stared into statistical hell _and graphed it._
So I don't truck with these flight-of-fancy Business Major "third quarter projection" style graphs that don't mean anything. What do they know of the statistical trenches real data scientists have to fight in? What horrors have _they_ seen up in their brightly-lit board room presentations with their nonsense line graph arrows and their inconsistent use of axis scales? They play with numbers like children... unprepared for the horrors of statistical war... heaven forbid that the powers that be draft them into service, for they will not return innocent from that data-driven nightmare. They think that they can graph a thing and win their meetings... in true statistics there are no winners... only carnage.
I’m not sure if you’re meant to be drinking the Queen’s gin since you kind of didn’t finish your statement, but the Queen’s gin was Gordon’s London Dry Gin just so you know.
And she drank Earl Grey, not English Breakfast.
@@pasde2 We need a do over!
CORRECTION: The first day listed in the Happy Days theme is Sunday, not Monday.
Yes, but one has to take in to consideration the time difference between Milwaukee and Russia.
In Europe, they start the week on Monday... Yes, I'm sure that's it.
Well it actually begins on European Tuesday,which is a north american Monday,but that'd make it Antarctica Thursday.Its all very complicated.
@@UpstateMediaNY That's a fantastic rebuttal!
Yes, but not on the German show
Honestly, only because I know people are going to correct it & it'll probably be brought up next time, points for purposefully mispronouncing Twinings just for the sake of the pun & pissing off us Jackals. But seriously saw the lead up from a mile away & still couldn't stop the visceral cringe from hearing it pronounced "Twin"ings!
He also already forgot how to pronounce "short-lived." Like Twinings, it should also have a long i, of course. (Seth, once again, the -lived in short-lived comes from "life," not "living." Think of it as "short-lifed" if you have to.)
@@raymondm.9954 Long lifed the King
It could be Seth further outing himself as a double agent; an American pretending to be an undercover British spy pretending to be an American...
4:05 correction, that is not how graphs works. The bottom of the y axis doesn't have to be 0. It could very well be 76 while the top is 80.
9:10 you call Beefeater Gin “the queen’s.” The Queen’s preferred gin was Gordon’s. Incidentally, her favorite cocktail, which I’ve read she had almost every day, was two parts Dubonnet, one part Gordon’s, and a lemon wheel. Try it! It’s, um, a pretty wild thing to drink everyday, I’ll just say that.
Are you thinking of the Queen Mother (ie. Elizabeth II's mother)? She was the boozer.
@@pipster1891 nope. There are articles a few years ago that reported she started the day with Dubonnet and Gin with breakfast, a martini with lunch, and Champaign with dinner. Then one of the royal chefs said in an interview those other articles were wrong and she didn’t even drink everyday. So who knows how much of that is true, but I have read it.
Robert Forster used to come into the restaurant I worked at in North Hollywood before he'd go see plays in the local arts district and he was just the nicest, kindest, friendliest, person you could imagine. He'd love to chat with you about what you were working on and he was always a great tipper. I was so sad when he passed. Just a beautiful human being.
A Titanic survivor could be 110 years old if someone was giving birth while the boat was sinking. Don’t worry Seth, your movie idea remains air tight 👍
how would the baby have survived? who cut the umbilical cord?
9:11 ~ It all becomes clear like an unmuddy lake; like the clearest skies of azure blue.
Seth Meyers' British accent was in reality mimicking James Mason mimicking Mike Myers mimicking James Mason.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 breaking character in final joke !
Lindell give us some... DA BEARS!!!
"See me next week". What a great closing line. I laughed hard!
It is the standard closing now, since the jackals pointed out early on that, unlike the studio audience, he cannot see us.
It could be a command, as from your instructor after a bad exam
@@LindaC616 and we all dutifully obey!
@@maryroberts589 indeed we do!
As always and as usual, TY for all your hard work and content contributions…just appreciating

HBO is having some identity problems, never know if they'll finally lose it with their naughty step child John Oliver. That or if Adam Driver will just crush him into oblivion with his mountainous shoulders, and tenderizing glare...
I had to watch that closing joke like 50x now and now I have a laughing cramp in my neck.😂😭🤣
Long Live the King, and Seth, the Whole Late Night Team, Corrections and Gin Tea......
We loooove Henry. He's one of our favorites. Always solving problems from bathroom stalls and making the music. I've always said "Heeeey" and I've always looked very good doing it, just like him.
Can I just talk about the sun? I love the sun, and Florida. It's a great place, people, it's a great place. And the sand.. They have the best sand *mic gets cut off*
I really wanted to see you try the G&Tea. I presume that mispronouncing Twinings was a cunning Corrections double bluff!
🍸🍵👭 😂😂😂😂😂
OMG -- I just now got the G&T joke. Thanks!
Longtime/first-time jackal: There isn’t an Oconomowoc in Minnesota (it’s in Wisconsin). And “a Fuddruckers on Lake Minnetonka” is arguably funnier, given that there would never be one in any of the very well-to-do communities on the lake.
Love this segment. I hope they dress it up - I can picture the jackal bobble head in a tux, top hat and with a cane, or dressed in other clothing.
Happy Friday!!!!! Yay Corrections!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Seth's Bond villain is just... I never want it to end. I want to bathe in that voice 😍😍
CORRECTION (kinda): Oconomowoc is in Wisconsin. You were naming Minnesota towns and Mankato and Owatonna are in Minnesota, but (unless there's a small town I can't find on the map of Minnesota) Oconomowoc is just in Wisconsin.
but Wisconsin is next to MN. Source: born and raised in WI. And spent more than a few days in Oconomowoc 😎😎🌈🌈🥰🥰
@@tracyveronika but it’s in the far away part, not the border part
5:56 Seth love your Carson impersonation. Please consider doing that impression more often.
"Chicago Mug" deserves an honorable mention.
I'm so thrilled to have Corrections back
9:00 I make a drink just like that. I call it the heartattack. It is 4 teabags, in about 6 ounces of rum. Then I put some syrup in, then chug it down.
you okay?
This show continues to be so freaking brilliant!
4:54 Pretty sure Lindell wasn't arrested, just detained & had his phone seized.
Seth, that was a very passable James mason at the end there - Bravo Sir!
Seth, you need to check out the movie “Raise the Titanic.” I remember seeing it many years ago and thought it hilarious, go right to the ending. They find the Titanic on the bottom of the ocean, fully intact. IF I remember it correctly, they’re able to raise it by inflating balloon sacks underneath it, and it comes to the surface making a lot of hysterical wood-type groaning noises on the way up. The ship remains in one piece, with all the deck chairs still in good shape and on the deck. It is listing badly and very wet😂🤣 causing all the deck chairs to dramatically slide. Gotta love the minds that came up with this one!
Clive Cussler- it was a whole novel.
Part of the fantastic Dirk Pitt series of books, I think the title was actually "Raise the Titanic!". The rest of the books have equally ridiculous plots.
@@dylananderson1867 Thank you for the info! I had no idea on the origin. God, what an absolutely bonkers plot, right down to the ship listing because of, y’know, the pesky big hole in the side and all... I just looked up the cast of the movie and it had Jason Robards and Alec Guinness in it! 🫣
