The old timey baseball sketch from Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Conan hitting on Nell, the downcast Civil War widow, to Conan pointing at a plane and exclaiming "What ho! What is that demonry!," to just the ridiculousness of the fact that people still play old timey baseball, that sketch will always have me dying.

So it's gonna be Mad Men with nerds, so not like Mad Men at all.

can't speak to other indian men (mostly cuz i'm not indian, but come from a south asian culture where arranged marriages are pretty common place), its the idea that I don't really want my parents doing anything for me.
