    1. 34:00 I don’t think this is a comedy show at all.
      The saying goes that every joke is a half-truth.
      The Computer God is a practitioner of illusion magic.
      Soon it’s going to lose all humor and stop lying to us.
      And Connor is a kabbalist working for the central computer intelligence?

    2. "Hop in buddy, I’ll get you up 10-15%” I dodn’t know why, but this line kills me. I love the delivery of 10-15%, and it is so specific, like he’s doing the minimum but flexing about it as well, and it is also such a contemporary malady. This line just wouldn’t work in any other time in history. Being able to spot things like this is half the bttle of writing something this good. I also loved the whol ePunisher segment, calling out all those revenge-fantasy films beloved by a lot of men. “I’m not thinking about all the new types of sex that have been invented.”… This is one of my best finds of 2024, absolutely nails it. Great work. That Mask video was awesome as well.

    3. a lot of conner's characters have the energy of someone who has been up all night consuming stimulants and reading posts on the internet, compulsively screaming out findings they assemble from them on the street. As I understand it, the text generative AI model stuff essentially constantly reads stuff on the internet, can never sleep and spews out the combined wisdom above my search engine results. I can think of nobody better placed to comment on AI comedy.
