    I think the only thing that could have made this video better would have been if Matt never stood up from his chair. Then he would single-handedly stopped the bank robbery, all while comfortably sitting in his chair, reading his book. Getting up and walking around forces him to do more physical acting, which isn't really necessary. The dialogue alone is strong enough to make it great even if he never moves. Just my thoughts, you probably disagree, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
    I hope they make more of the practical philosopher, he's one of my favorites of their characters.

      The christian moral philosophy teaches that even thinking of breaking into Area 51 makes your cognition contain nothing of value whatsoever.

    I have seen this sketch many times, but I've just realized that the philosopher knows Whitney's name, even though the thieves never say it. The philosopher is the first person to say it. So, a conspiracy theorist might think that the philosopher and Whitney knew each other before, but then he uses a tranquilizer, so they didn't know each other. Therefore, it's just a fun little detail for us, fans. Love you guys, your skits always brighten up my day.

      +Oryxiann Indeed, you are incorrect. Joyce was evidently referring to the l's following the "lol" because there are two uniform differences and one that is completely different and far more obvious. You might say, "Oh, but the o _is_ different" Of course, following that logic, you could say that there are greatly many differences counting each unique letter in her comment. Your fatal flaw is that you assumed Joyce was lying, but rather you and Thomas both misinterpreted Joyce's intention and thus are incorrect. The proper answer is that the two differences are the capital i's, emboldened here:
      "lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll *I* llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll *I* lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll"
      You can twist a person's words to fit your needs, but the only meaningful and truthful information comes from the intention behind their words.

      Jason's name was mentioned whenever Whitney was reminding him to take the gold. However, Whitney's name was not mentioned anywhere in the sketch prior to the philosopher calling her by name. It is possible that her name was used while they were outside the vault door and that the philosopher managed to hear it.

      It is also possible that Jason forgot to say Whitney's name in a line.
