The blooper fodder is probably somewhat less than you'd think. They get a lot of mileage out of taking things that would otherwise be bloopers, like someone's phone ringing or their dog interrupting, and making them part of the reenactment, so they're probably including all the best bits in the actual show.

I liked the throwaway bit where Waters tried to make it look like Miranda liked the Monkees more than the Beatles and Miranda looked sort of genuinely panicked - it was very cute.

All these historical figures were real people, and the traditional ways of telling their stories tend to smooth out the wrinkles and imperfections in ways that make that harder to see. As silly as it is, Drunk History's way of telling the stories helps the audience see the real, relatable people behind the…

They could probably get a whole episode out of women who were cheated out of nobel prizes by male colleagues. I can also think of Lise Meitner off the top of my head (her colleague took the Nobel and all the credit for discovering nuclear fission), and I'm sure there's more than one other to round the group out that…

I'd talk about Admiral Grace Hopper, one of the major early pioneers of computer science (she wrote the first compiler!). It'd be awesome to have an episode focused on women in science and technology - they were major forces in the early days of computing, but now their contributions get forgotten a lot of the time.

I think they try to make sure that the stories are ones that the comedians are already interested in, so that they're more likely to remember the details and give an enthusiastic account of the events.

That'd involve actually coming into physical contact with him though…(gags)

His crush might be largely due to the fact that Chelsea (and the other support group people, it seems) treat him more like "just Doug" and less like a priest than his congregation does.

That was my favorite line also.

That was what I was expecting too. Probably better that they kept it as just a nice character moment (and kept Doug not believing all the alien stuff).

It sounds like a lot of the mixed feelings about the Harry Potter play that came out recently stem from the fact that they try to accurately extrapolate what a kid who had that done to them will be like as an adult (shockingly, he might not be the best parent).

When I was a kid we went on a family vacation to the southern coast of Spain, and all the other kids at the hotel pool were Irish. Their first question for us was "Are you Catholic or Protestant?" We didn't know that much about the Troubles, but we knew that one of those was probably a wrong answer for these kids,…

His take on his People of Earth character makes even more sense in the light of his picks for great comedy - a guy who's dead serious about this reptillian threat to humanity, and we even know he's at least partially right, but it's still just funny because of how little humor he has about it.

I bounced off the first book when I tried to read it, but I might give it a go again at some point. Just didn't find it that engaging, and had trouble connecting with the characters.

When I was in school they called that "proof by intimidation".

Hate to break it to you, but you'll also have to change your IP address between views (not that hard, just dhcp release and renew) - lots of website diagnostics tell you how many unique views you have.

Eh, I used to watch the Soup, so I'm sure I've seen at least a few seconds of the show.

Is that a reliable brand for the external hard drive? The cheap 1TB drives tend to be sort of flaky, which means that they're a bit of a liability. You get them so that you can store all your data easily, and then they get corrupted or broken right away.

Fair enough :)

You forgot the part about white supremacists being appointed to high level positions in his administration, but other than that, spot on.
