"What Does Karen Know" is my second-favorite segment on this show, behind "Jokes Seth Can't Tell". I wish they'd make it a regular thing.
And “Amber Says What”!
💯💯💯
David K. Storrs nothing is better than day drinking
WHAT!?
I like Karen but can't stand Amber. Her jokes are ok but her voice hurts my brain
i feel like being friends with this woman might cure my depression.
Same, she's adorably amazing
She sounds like a moron.
Karen is a sweetheart. I bet she brightens the office for everyone.
She has the cutest laugh!
Right? I saw “What does Millenial” and I was like “oh! It’s what does Karen know?!” Lol She’s so sweet
Why because she’s yellow? That’s racist
@@apurvapatel1013 Really? Says a lot about you that you would be "just as happy" if she is not the nice person she seems to be. It doesn't say a lot of good things about you. I suspect that if she does "turn out to be a monster," she probably wouldn't get the spot. Enjoy your unnecessary cynicism. 🤔
@@danieldionne2037 That is such a weird thing for you to assume...
I love that this isn't making fun of anyone or patronizing, it's just an information exchange! Honestly, I'm Seth's age and there were a few I didn't know, but I knew most of Karen's!
I'm Karen's age and only knew Seth's ones!
It’s quite patronising. JCVD shouldn’t be a mystery for someone working in the entertainment business. The Expendables came out in her late teens. Clark Gabel is before my time or Marlin Brando, George Orwell(though he voiced unicron and that’s totally my demo), and I know who they are.
@@sloppynyuszi Van Damme, Clark and Brando are not exactly comparable though. Van Damme is more in the level of, I dunno, Yul Brynner maybe, or Charles Bronson. Although they both made better movies.
I only know jcvd because of that one episode of friends 🤣
@@sloppynyuszi You are confusing George Orwell with Orson Welles.
That weird elder millennial moment when you know what's on both sets of cards....
Same, except for the chicken guy. Never heard of perdue chicken or him.
Same but I'm a GenX
@@Demerus99 My excuse is I'm Canadian so Perdue didn't market or sell product up here. Other than that Yep, I too knew every card ~.~
@@shigeminotoge4514 same
Yeah these really didn't seem very young. Arthur was already on repeats when I was a kid, and Animorphs literally came out when Karen was a newborn.
They couldn't find a more adorable person to do these.
I could literally watch a full season of Seth showing Karen different Garbage Pail Kids cards
ConSepT Galicia, you don’t have much going on in your life, huh?
@@danieldionne2037 bruh, you're reading RUclips comments. How much time does that eat?
He could cover up each one's name and challenge her to guess them. She'd probably come up with some great answers.
This was adorable. I need more wholesome content like this in my life.
Me too, good luck
Too bad, what happened to her name.
can’t believe she pulled out animorphs i thought that was a fever dream
I know. Seeing Animorphs referenced on national tV was too much for me, I literally started crying. I'm 30 and that was my childhood and one of the best book series I've read to this day.
Hahahah I loved animorphs! They only translated like 50 parts in my language though, and I never got to read the ending :( How many books can a person even write??
They just came out with a graphic novel
@@joonamato the ending was bad
@@joonamato and she had ghost writers. She didn't really write them all, it was a sort of team of people who wrote them. Something like that. She had an AMA on reddit
lines at the pencil sharpeners are the childhood equivalent to standing around water coolers
We had ours in the garage at home. Now I have an electric one in the kitchen
She’s like the perfect human-seriously so sweet & poised, whatever her parents did -Good Job to them!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
He summed up the Garbage Pail Kids' appeal so well: "As a 9 year old, I'm a little bit of trouble."😝😝
When I found out that Karen Chee is also a fan of Richard Ayoade and all things British comedy, I stanned even harder. I love her and these videos, so priceless
Justine Louise how did you find that out? I love Richard Ayoade - I don’t know why he isn’t popular here.
@@ebfruchu Karen has tweeted multiple times about Richard and Brit comics. For instance, when Richard appeared on the Graham Norton show (with Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Chadwick Boseman) and another time when the Big Fat Quiz of 2019 aired in the US (she tweeted something about how she roots for Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding every year). It is quite unfortunate that the world isn't familiar with how crushingly funny Richard is, but I'm pleased nevertheless that Karen (and I'm sure a lot of others) is also a fan. 🙂
Best profile pic ever 😍 Daria
I love him! I first saw him in Mighty Boosh and the IT Crowd and I just loved his style of delivery.
@@MaisyDaisy333 he is the man, the myth, the legend
I’m 49 and I didn’t know who the chicken guy was!
I'm thinking it's a regional thing. Not national. I'm 41 and I never heard of purdue chicken or saw the commercial
DeathBeforeDecaf ya, I wondered. My tv watching habits went through phases up until about 2016 when I shut off my cable altogether and just went online for most of my entertainment. I figured it was possible I missed Purdue commercials altogether, but I imagine you’re right. I haven’t lived east of Kansas since I was 8yrs old.
Perdue chickens are more popular in the North East.
I thought that was Popeye
@@deathbeforedecaf7755 it might be a regional thing i saw him all the time
Missed opertunity Seth, should have used the “bad breath seth” garbage pail kids card.
Nice.
He didn't even mention the movie!😥
@@sirdrakey jesus, that movie traumatized me lol
Ha!! Genius!
They never lie!
FYI: As a San Francisco Bay Area kid, Karen would have never seen a local advertisement with Frank Purdue or Purdue Chickens. Most of our TV ads of this type are for Foster Farms.
perdue died in 2005 and it was a east coast thing....
That not true dumb ass. I seen these commercial on television in San Francisco all the time dipshit liar.
I've never seen that guy before, and I'm Gen X
MrPent9295 Wow, that's a pretty extreme reaction, haha!
Karen probably wouldn't have seen anything in these segments so I don't think it matters.
Answer: 💪🏼MUSCLES from BRUSSELS 🇧🇪
The laziest nickname ever.
It thought it was mussels from brussels.
@@Carewolf that would be shellfish
I thought it would be Brussel sprouts
karen is funny af... seth, when you retire, give her your job haha
I read like crazy as a kid but I was too scared to read Animorphs or Goosebumps. It was the ole Boxcar Children and Babysitters club for me
I loved all of these series. I had every Animorphs (including prequels), Goosebumps, and Babysitter's Club series released until I outgrew them. Boxcar children was great as well but I didn't have all of them.
healthy adhd solution please take the time to watch ruclips.net/video/fxEh69__2Cw/видео.html
Same!!! I loved the babysitters club... I went bananas when Hulu put the series on there lol
I was super retro and read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Now I’m very very gay.
@@edienandy Nancy Drew was awesome... my mom didn't let me read Hardy boys because she didn't want me interacting with boys too soon lmao
These are always so wholesome.
ruclips.net/video/fxEh69__2Cw/видео.html
This segment has officially reoccurred often enough to warrant Karen's very own spin-off.
I’m Gen Z and definitely bought slap bracelets at Justice as a kid. Glad these spanned multiple generations
I do love how Seth features the women in his writer's room
I always love her segments!
7:35 Animorphs: The book series you read when the library ran out of Goosebumps books.
Actually, for me it was the opposite...
Seth did a bad job picking things this time. I’m one year older than Karen. Slap bracelets, garbage pail kids (and cabbage patch kids), and those pencil sharpeners were part of my childhood too.
I’m a teacher, and I can confirm that yes, people-powered pencil sharpeners are still a thing. And, when it’s time for 6th graders to write, suddenly they ALL need to sharpen their pencils. Kids are awesome.
A lot of those things seemed like Millennial things lol. Garbage Pail Kids were for sure a Millennial thing. People forget that the generation lasts between 1981 until 1996. Garbage Pail Kids didn't even come out until 1985. Being born in '92, I had a lot of Garbage Pail Kids cards.
I’m younger than her and I knew everything
Kal Demaree SMARTY PANTS!!!! (I'm 7).
As enjoyable as these segments are, I'm always a bit confused by what Karen doesn't know because I'm just over a year older than her and the media my peers and I were exposed to made so many references to older things that weren't necessarily "of our generation" that it was impossible not to absorb it. It's like expecting someone our age not to know who the Beatles are, like you just pick these things up??
More of this segment, please. I'm Seth's age, and my daughter is 20, so it's the perfect device for us to laugh at one another!
"My parents wouldn`t buy chicken if they didn't see the owner of the company." Seth Meyers .. man I love you!
When you really get down to it, Animorphs is about a group of kids waging war against an unstoppable enemy, killing a decent amount of people and aliens and living in constant fear of getting killed/enslaved.
I honestly don't know how it's exactly considered a kids series.
Would have make a great TV show (I know they tried but it was cut short and never fulfilled it's potential).
It really would have been a great show if they had animated it, but Nickelodeon insisted on it being live-action.
Yeah, between the body horror, the gore, and the moral dilemmas it was pretty dark for a kid/young adult series. I loved it when I was younger. I'm thrilled to see them brought up. I always thought they were a pretty niche thing with a small following.
@@kryptoknightmk1 I myself only read a few of them when I was in school since the library only had a dozen or so.
When I was in the university I decided to close the gap and read all the ~50 books in sequence. really made me appreciate the complexity of the story and what the characters go through.
Almog Dov So how does it end. Once I got to jr high and asked the librarian if we had Animorphs at this school she told me I could go back to elementary if I wanted to read them. I never got to finish them.
@@fearless4him595 Wow, that is actually a really tough question to answer, especially since I don't know how far you've read.
It's been a while so I don't remember everything but basically, they did manage to make the invasion public, and somehow got an alliance with the Andalites. Earth almost got overrun by the Yeerks, in the end, with the help of a good Yeerk, they found a rebel cell inside of the Yeerks army that didn't want to fight. We learnt that even though they did evil things, their story is actually quite tragic as they were a sentient and advanced race but trapped inside their bodies (as you can't do much as a slug). The only thing they could was take control of others and in their homeplanet they only had a really basic monkey like species that they used to enslave. However, things changed when the Andalites came to their planet and that one dude gave them space travel because he took pity on them, that allowed them to spread throughout the galaxy and as they met (and enslaved) new species, that became their norm. However, since they have DNA memory, many still remembered that all they wanted was to be free. SO, after a huge battle on earth, in which our group had to kill about 50000 yeerks in one ship (basically a war crime) and Rachel sacrificed her life, Jake (who did order the destruction of those yeerks) managed to reach an agreement with the good Yeerks, since all they wanted was freedom of their aweful limited bodies, they shared the shapeshifting technology with them and every Yeerk could choose a body to live in forever. Many chose dolphins since Yeerks love water by nature and that was basically it. I thought it was a wonderful ending, it closed the story pretty good and the solution to this insane scale was great. Also, In the final book Jake starts the book by saying his full name finally and admitting that they were a group of 13 (!!!) years old kids. That was honestly a shock for me, since those kids went through stuff, horrible stuff and it gave it another dimension.
They do finish with a cliff hanger that Ax gone missing and Jake goes to find him.
That is a real cliffnote of the final beats of the story, as I mentioned, there are like 50 books.
Not only is it Van Damme but more specifically Van Damme from the set of sudden death 😁
A Black Belt!
Slap bracelets were a thing in the 90s and early 2000s so I had them as a kid too
love this segment but the only thing i didnt know was the chicken man. and yes they sold cabbage patc h kids late into the 90s if not later
Argentia grace I was gifted one for Christmas in the early 2000s
Same about the chicken man. Must be a East Coast thing.
Yeah. The chicken guy if the first thing I didn't know in any of these segments. And I saw commercials for Cabbage Patch kids in the 2000s. I kinda assumed like those little oven things they are still going today.
@@projectamis4772 Yep. His industrial approach to chicken ruined much of the Eastern Shore of the state of Maryland through soil, water and air pollution (stench) to this day. Of course, working in such conditions was below most local American citizens in the area, so you KNOW who took care of most of the labor - Trump's favorite scapegoats. Yeah, this dude built an empire on the backs of undocumented immigrants.
We always used to rag on him during his commercials because his schnozz was so comparable to the beaks of his chickens...
The commercials may have been regional. I remember them on the East Coast.
I had a little moment of pure nostalgia giddiness when she brought out Jake from Animorphs. Such an underrated series. You missed out Karen.
Totally.
I started with The Andalite Chronicles and I was hooked.
@@zzzcocopepe I'm with you there! Most of those longer standalone books were highlights. That one in particular actually still holds up surprisingly well.
I want to take a sec and complain about mounting pencil sharpeners on the wall vs an edge of a table, you beat your knuckles on the wall!
Allen Rodgers I have never heard of the sharpener being mounted on the wall. That's strange. I am used to the one the desk
Never had a problem. The wall vs desk is still the same distance so how you didn't smash your hand on the desktop but you did on the wall is beyond me!
@@sirdrakey the crank is off the edge, i guess that's really hard to imagine
@@allenrodgers1577 you must have huge hands Bro!
Can confirm this was a real issue. It was fine for elementary school kids with tiny hands but once you started getting older the wall-mounted ones could double as a torture device. :U
This young lady is adorable. She seems like she'd look like a teenager well into her 70s. Baby face & such a sweet personality & vibe. Refreshing these days.
Alternative title: 'Millennials! What do they know? Do they know things? Let's find out!'

Isnt she to young to be a millennial?
@@sprinklesandwrinkles people debate the cutoff, but gen z begins somewhere between 1995 and 1997. Since she's 24, she'd be exactly on the borderline. Seth calls her a millennial tho so I'm just going by that.
Hosted by Mr. Peanutbutter, of course
easily one of my favorite segments
She is so sweet. :)
Really disappointed she never read Animorphs...if Jake turning into a lizard scared her, she'd have been mortified to see Tobias turn into a taxxon.
Oh. My god
Karen is actual sunshine and Seth is absolutely extremely likeable. New favorite segment of any late night show.
I had no idea who Frank Perdue was either. I don't think he's out in CA
Big fan of Seth's various clips but THIS bit with Karen Chee is always my favorite. The interaction between the 2 of them is great. But the main reason why I love these is I always forward it to my niece in college who is like 2200 miles away. Just a great excuse always to say Hi & #ILoveYou at the end to her.👍✌🤘😎🤘
Dude, when she said Animorphs was too scary to read.... So relatable. 😭
Growing up surrounded by animorphs covers but being too scared to read them is *exactly* my experience
I had no idea who that Purdue guy was
Late Night Writers and Millennials: What do they know? Do they know things?? Let's find out!
Kojack Norseboy reference. Nice.
My first thought! lol

Betrothed reporters! What do they know? Do they know things? Let's find out!
One more day.
@@chrisvasey4032 Don't advertise on random comment threads, you're just showing how desperate you are.
I really REALLY enjoyed when he said "so there was a line for the pencil shnarper."
She's so charming and loveable. A treasure to have on the show!
Hope there's an Amber and Karen segment soon. They're both just so fun!
Run De McCea Instead of Amber and Man-Hater ?
@@brettjones4300 Who?
@@brettjones4300 subscribe if you laugh lol ruclips.net/video/fxEh69__2Cw/видео.html
Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card is my theme song!
Oh my gosh, I love wall-mounted pencil sharpeners! They're so tactile, and I love the way they rumble. I pretty much only use mechanical pencils now, though.
those were in my elementary school(and some middle school rooms) in the mid 2010's
I love how Seth uses his writers so much
I still remember the smell of the pencil shavings from using the manual pencil sharpener...
I always remember a comic strip (I think in Cracked Magazine) where Frank Perdue removes his rubber mask to reveal he is really a giant talking chicken.
I love this segment. She's so adorable and I'm so old.
We need more of these! She's adorable
Would gladly buy Seth’s Garbage Pale Kids collection.
Animorphs was amazing
"And it was a way to just, you know, as a nine-year-old let people know ...I'm a little troubled." LOL!
My favorite segments is this one, Amber says what and Back in my Day. So hilarious. 😅😂🤣
I love this segment! Karen is adorable, and I get to feel smart because I’m right on the edge of Gen X and Millennial, so I usually know all the answers. 😁
Mrs. B me too! I’m actually a xennial (gen x/millennial) born between ‘77-‘81 or so. I was born in ‘78. I totally knew DW- so easy since I read Arthur books as a kid and the only reason I knew animorphs actually was because I’m a children’s librarian so we have those books at the library- still!
Seth should definitely bring her back on.
ruclips.net/video/fxEh69__2Cw/видео.html
equesdeventusoccasus lol I mean he can’t get any real guests. I’m sure we’ll end up seeing every member of staff before he’s off the air.
this show warms my heart
These clips are great! Bring back some memories.
Karen needs more time! Her picks for Seth were good, I want more!
3:13 I thought Frank Perdue was Freddie Krueger eating chicken.
blunt rapture I totally see the resemblance lol
Geez she is so sweet. We must protect her at all costs.
She’s adorable and so polite lol
Real name: Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg
Animorphs ear slug thing messed me up as a kid I had nightmares for months
Tobias getting stuck completely broke my heart and I still am kind of feeling tragic just thinking about his story now
Omg, best one yet!! 🤣🤣
That brilliant electric vs manual callback bit at the end of the chicken riff did not get enough love from the audience at ALL!!!!
She is just so adorable
Wait she's so precious we all need to protect Karen Chee at all costs
Karen is a national treasure....we must protect her at all costs.
What is the appeal of Arthur?!?! EVERYTHING! Arthur's Halloween is some scary stuff - losing your spouse and the plight of lonely senior citizens
Love these segments.
This makes me feel like I'm in the future. Like it's the year 2020 or something.
Whoa, can you even imagine what the year 2020 is going to be like? We'll have flying cars and bases on the moon and stuff.
I have some GPK and slap bracelets in a closet somewhere.
she is adorable!! More of her please!
SETH SWEARING IS SENDING ME!
I think she's actually a senior gen z but she's fun and this doesn't insult milennials which is nice
Matthew C actually the youngest a millennial can he is 24 (oldest is 39) so she is just barely a millennial, a very young one. Gen z is ages 8-23. So she’s right on the edge
Amy Petersen . What am i ? I'm 30 and feel like today is the greatest time..i have no concerns about anything nor do i care or feel nostalgic about past trends. Only thing i don't like is Bilie Eilish but i'm sure i will once she drops out of the emo teenage phase
@@brainey001 Officially you'd be a millennial. They're basically born between the early 80s and early 90s. There have been some rumblings that the oldest millennials are a microgeneration xennials but yeah, we're millennials.
@@brainey001 You're as millennial as a millennial gets, literally smack dab in the middle of the millennial birth years. You spent the entire last decade reading articles about how people in your age group are killing business and can't buy homes during your young adulthood and didn't realize you were one of them?
iamgodsrs . I wasn't reading such articles nor could i relate cos i buy what i want, when i want it and never thought twice about it. Also i'm not an american so...
Older millennial here. I still have my Garbage Pail Kids cards.
Frank Perdue's line was it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.
I love these segments so much.
Karen: “is JVD still alive”?
Seth: “barely”.
These episodes make me feel so old. :(
I'm a millenial(barely but still) and Im 100% with Seth on these ones. xD
You should feel bad. I still remember the day I realized I was not only a Gen-Xer, but that I was an _early_ Gen-Xer. (I graduated High School before Seth got pubes.)
@@tarmaque Why should I feel bad?
@@andreaskarlsson5251 You shouldn't. I was just making fun of you.
@@tarmaque Dunno, to me it sounds like you're just pointing out how old and decrepid you are while telling me I should feel bad. ;)
@@andreaskarlsson5251 Don't worry. You'll get old and decrepit like me soon enough, and spend your afternoons comparing the virtues of various adult incontinence products with your friends.
Oh man an animorphs throwback, sometimes I wonder if it wasn't as wide spread as it felt when I was growing up lol.
The way that Seth explains Garbage Pail Kids is everything. 😂
Hey Ellen, THIS is how you ‘make fun of millennials’...
Yeah, not demeaning, or insulting. Just a good old trip down memory lane.
@@mastermindhunter you're kind of ridiculous
Is Purdue chicken an east coast thing? I've never seen that dude AND I'm old.
I love this segment.
Oh she's so sweet!
I must be a betweenial, because I didn’t know most of them from either side
CCandChloe Did you invent that word? It’s a good word. I’m going to start using it.
Karmadog yes! Maybe it will catch on. 😂
betweenial actually perfectly describes karen. she's basically exactly on the border of millenial and Gen Z
No you're just Gen Z....Idk why you would be a betweenial if you didn't know the stuff from either side. That would mean you came after (or before) both generations, right?
Hey i used that word last month!
I'm in Seth's generation and I knew D.W. - from reading Arthur books to my kids. I guess Seth is not reading books to his kids?
His kids are pretty young - I think definitely both under school age, so maybe just not yet. I can't imagine he'd be the dad who didn't read to his kids. When he talks about family - and has _his_ family on his show, it's clear family is important to him.
When she pulled out the pix of D.W....
Yassss!!!!!!! Luv her
She's a breath of fresh air
I'm only 26 and I knew all of these that's why my friends say I'm old and young at the same time
Dude I'm older than Seth and I have never heard of Purdue chicken … ??? Maybe it's a midwestern thing?
I’ve never heard of it, either. Lived in Oklahoma most of my life. Read it was an east coast thing? 🤷♀️
Amanda Kelly I grew up in the Chicago area and Purdue chicken ads would air all the time with Frank Purdue
NY advertised Purdue all the time also
@@robchildress9434 I'm from the South & I never heard of it. Maybe it was a northern thing?
I just love her
This will always be my favorite segment on this show.
