Btw, one thing that I think was crucial here was variety of videos. I actually was the one who suggested two of the videos that were a little 'out there' (The Answer and Slice of Life), with the specific goal of trying to step away from more action- and effects-oriented videos and talk about other things too, like just reading things into the story of the video or the whole idea of what makes a good comedy vid. And I think the changes of pace did keep it interesting. Twitch and stuff like that is fun to talk about, but it's great when things like concepts, category definitions, or "why this is funny" and other such stuff also get into the discussion - talking about techniques and editing and twitch is cool and all, but it's great to NOT do that sometimes. I hope that for future podcasts (whether or not I'm in them), we keep this tradition of varying things a bit - IMO talking about very different kinds of videos really helped keep this interesting and unpredictable.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
