Late N
I was getting nervous Amber wouldn’t be in this one! Don’t deprive the people!
ReplyI like these.
ReplyI for one would like to say that I very much enjoy Corrections. And long may it continue.
ReplyQuickly becoming my favorite segment of the week can’t wait for the return of the sea captain
ReplyI literally laughed until I had tears in my eyes
ReplyI am enjoying the sh*t out of this digital exclusive! I love your recycling a sanitizing note from work – cost savings! Now I’ll be on the lookout to contribute! Stay Safe, My Friend!
ReplyI love hearing Ambers laugh in the background
ReplyI freaking love these correction segments xD
ReplySay “Gee, schucks!”
ReplyNow, change the ‘G’ to a ‘T’ and drop the ‘s’ at the end!
Love this!!!!
ReplyGreat to hear your laugh, Mulaney! <3
ReplyI don’t know if this segment is particularly good for Seth’s mental health, but it’s my new favorite!
ReplyLove Corrections when Seth try’s Accents so much fun when he attempts our Aussie accent when he stops trying is when he gets it right needs to check the Aussie slang online site will find some great words on there that will beat the censors. Can we never go back to old format this one is so cool have been back and watched old shows there is just not the same flow and after watching the 2 Jimmys go back to old format is sad especially with Kimmel back in his suit.
ReplyPure gold. Good and necessary on so many levels.
ReplyTea shock
ReplyAt least the list was cleaned and disinfected. Write that list at the local Denny’s?
ReplyA pitcher of water, throws water towards the batter! Jokes aside: The two meanings of embattled are not homonyms. They are two different meanings/senses of the *_same_* words. Homonyms are two *_different_* words, that sound the same. They are sometimes also be spelled the same, but are nevertheless always *_separate and distinct_* words, rather than multiple meanings of *_the same_* word.
Reply“Embattled” means _at least_ two things.
ReplyMy results said “(of a place or people) involved in or prepared for war, especially because surrounded by enemy forces.”
“Involved in” sounds an awful lot like it has nothing to do with being ready to do and everything to do with… doing.
His paper kept making me read it: “This area has been cleaned and disinfected”
ReplyPlease please please never stop this bit. It gives me the same kind of delight I get when I find typos in a menu. Love ya Seth-and-crew!!
ReplyNot ALL baseball throwers are male….
ReplyI think this segment should be on TV. We live in times where people are not willing to admit when they were wrong and instead alter maps with a Sharpie. This is so refreshing.
ReplyHey! I sent in an email about Candace! I thought he’d like that.
Replypitcher of water… you mean an EWER***
ReplyJust saying. Whoever the writer who keeps making those board game bits should just have a minute to showcase their ideas.
ReplyHere is a book you might enjoy, “Bored of the Rings” by Henry Beard and Douglas Kenny in 1969. It is very funny.
ReplyI love this segment. And I probably will for a few more months. Then it’ll get old.
ReplyWe need Delbert Grady to do “Corrections” — he’d only be doing his duty.
ReplyYay, love this sequence.
Reply“Candace is in the bible” cracked me the hell up.
Reply3:43 “This area has been cleaned & disinfected”, good to know.
ReplyNew online segment “Amber Says That’s Enough!” coming soon?
Replythank god john mulaney is back writing i missed him so
ReplyMulaney was a pog enthusiast? They seem a bit small to snort off of, but.. a’ight.
Reply“We’ve been talking a bit about Lord of the Rings…”
his face there. Yep… that’s a man who’s been talking about LOTR, and regrets it.
ReplyOk, but if it’s in the Bible, why don’t you read the segment in it? I’m not religious, but need to prove a point that’s in the Bible? At least, read it.
Reply“tee-sock” is indeed close but still a little wrong lol. It’s more like “tee-shock” but with more of a lilt at the end of the first syllable. It’s v hard to write Irish phonetically and “tee-sock” is a v good effort that is much appreciated
Replyyay!!! more corrections! (“monsters! our favorite show!) yay for the john mulaney mention, i sense his style in the tiny secret whispers… seth should’ve asked doe-nahl and bree-un how to pronounce tay-shack?… i love this part. this segment sounds like its what seth is like heading a writers meeting.
ReplyGott love a good ending 😉
ReplyBad news, Seth. Candace in the bible is pronounced like “Kandakee.”
ReplyI think you guys do this for yourselves – way too much fun going on there!!
ReplyDope
Replyplease stick with the prime minister of Ireland and stop butchering the Irish language.
Replyseth meyers’s war on lord of the rings was the running bit i didn’t know i wanted and now need
ReplyI really wanted Amber to just keep saying “that’s enough” while Seth remains frozen until people start getting concerned that his mind finally snapped.
Reply“Always wants… a wee taste”
ReplySpeaking of words with multiple definitions.
This is officially my favorite part of the (online) show now.
ReplyWhere’s the sea captain?
ReplyPlease never stop doing these, Seth!
ReplyYOU ARE GROWING ON ME!
ReplyIts Seth’s stand up and we are all sitting in the front row! In A world….lol
ReplyBen Franklin used to love Tiny Secret Whispers.
ReplyThey were common law married their whole life huh?
ReplyThe head of state of Ireland is the Taoiseach (Tea-Shock)… the Irish still love you anyway Seth
ReplyThese are brilliant, and a great sodium intake. Don’t worry about the pronunciation of the word ‘Taoiseach’ to save it coming up again just say ‘Tea Shock’ really quickly instead, no one will notice the difference.
ReplyYou are so cute Seth!
ReplyHis blue eyes perfectly match his sweater. Imagine seeing him in person. Such a handsome boy. His Mom told me to say that
ReplySeth you have an irish guy on staff, and oh he always looking for a taste, sterotype much do you? And we don’t say prime minister in Ireland, ypu still pronounced An Taocoish wrong.
ReplyActually, Deborah Read Franklin’s first husband’s real name was John Rogers (at least, according to Wikipedia–and FamilySearch). And Luke, like Candace and Deborah is also in the Bible–it’s even got a Book of Luke and everything. And while Skywalker isn’t in the Bible per se (although theories about its meaning may have Biblical allusions), it is apparently another name for Loki, Norse God of mischief, and Norse mythology goes back at least a thousand years. So the name is apparently not so anachronistic and it’s also not even his real name.
ReplyAnd the third volume in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is “The Return of the King,” not “Return of the King” (or “Return to the King”). (Speaking of Biblical allusions).
Hey, you asked for it. 🙂
I love you SETH!!! Thanks for making me laugh.
ReplySo there is a glaring omission from this week’s corrections. You absolutely cannot type ACE OF BASE on a calculator (A Closer Look, 4/14/21). As big as this kind of malarkey may be with the TikTok crowd, I can’t let it stand. (btw love this segment please do it forever)
ReplyOk, but…. Pogs were, like, a 1993-1996ish fad. Mulaney was absolutely a kid. I was in 1st grade when everyone at my school got obsessed with it, and he’s only 5 years older than me. My wife played it as a teen (not much to do in rural Alaska before widespread internet access), and she was born in the 70s..
ReplyWell done for being a LOTR sceptic. We need to balance out the obsession of That Guy On CBS as T-word called him.
ReplyThis is just for me and I thank you
ReplyThe photo at the end of the video that they put on all of the videos uploaded here makes Seth look much older than how he looks in the actual videos
ReplyYou probably thought it was “Return To The King” because that was engraved on Narsil.
ReplyI could watch Seth ramble on about random nonsense forever. Never skipping over this segment again.
ReplyIs it true that Stephen Miller “venmoed” Frisbee $400.00 and took her to Orlando
ReplyI love these segments, but I wonder if they will be as good with a studio audience as hearing the people who work there laughing at Seth.
ReplyI love Seth and the show is great! Its not Tee-Shock – It’s Tee-SHUCK 🙂
ReplySeth was probably thinking of “Return to the Jedi”. It happens.
Reply~Trav
I wish you would stop mispronouncing “primer” when you introduce your segment on teen slang. It’s hard to believe your mother was a schoolteacher–who would have been familiar with how to pronounce “a text for beginning students”–different from “an undercoat of paint” (prYmer) which is how you say it. PLEASE! It sounds ignorant!
ReplyGood experiment. Funny stuff!
ReplyI NOW KNOW THAT JOHN MULANEY WAS A 22 YEAR OLD POG ENTHUSIAST AND IM NOT SO SURE WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF NOW
ReplyI absolutely love this.
ReplyNow we can all sleep better at night. Thank you. lol
ReplyI am laughing so hard!
ReplyI get it was just a joke with the name Luke Skywalker, but c’mon Seth even the name Luke is in the bible
ReplyAKTCHEWLEEE…
ReplyWhat a totally pointless Show, who gives A Frigg about Corrections, Sheesh.
ReplyThese correction videos are honestly one of the best parts of my week. I love them
ReplyEx spearmint: Every flavor of gum after 5 minutes of chewing…
ReplyLol. Read and respond to everything….. epic . Lol that’s enough
Reply“The return of the King” was the 3th book of the series, so the book you must have returned quickly probably would have been “The fellowship of the ring”. Unless you started with nr 3 and in that case it is your own fault ;p
ok, unless you borrowed them all 3 at once, but considering how big the books are, no one is going to believe that ^^
ReplyIf you ever need to pronounce a german word try to search on YouTube for _’korrekte Aussprache: [insert german word]’._ If there is a clip from the channel ‘Luksan Wunder’, that’s a bingo.
ReplySeth looks like the kind of dad that if their kid said “Dad Im gay” he would respond with “Hi gay Im Dad! Its pizza night btw!”
ReplyI love this segment but the only thing I can think about is that John Mulaney is back writing…
ReplyJust LOVE these, keep It up, and by the way, this is comedy TV gold!!!
ReplyWas the journey reference also for the tiktok crowd?
ReplyIt’s probably already been mentioned in the comments, but Luke Skywalker is a name from a long time ago (and a galaxy far, far away) and is, therefore, not anachronistic.
ReplyI always thought the Irish PM was the ‘tea shop’?
Replyi have a correction. you said you used a word “wrong”–it’s ‘wrongly’. adverb.
ReplyAnother round of #corrections down, another missed opportunity to talk about “The Tale of the Bunny Picnic”. For shame. It’s still the movie we all desperately need right now, even if you think you’re too old for something like it, but fine, if that’s the holdup have your youngest writer, I assume Karen (despite me wanting to say John Mulaney) watch it and tell you how awesome it is, I guarantee she would *love* it.
ReplyCleopatra
ReplyCorrection: Pogs also gained popularity in the 90s when myself and Mulaney were tweens. So now the question becomes did John pick it back up or discover it at 22? The plot thickens…
ReplyHearing that John Mulaney is back at work made me so happy. I even think I heard him laugh. Sending so much love to you all but especially him.
ReplyI think all these corrections that Seth does technically makes him Canadian, as a Canadian we happily accept you as one of our own
Reply‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. He’s channeling Robert Plant
ReplyWhat better way to deal with trolls than to troll the trolls. You’re way better than the Pictionary guy, especially during a pandemic.
ReplyI tried to rustle jimmies. Mention my jimmy wrustlin
ReplyNo more Sea Captain. Enough.
ReplyNah, Mulaney and I are the same age and POGs were big in my childhood.
ReplyT SHOCK = how to pronounce Irish “prime minister”
ReplyThank goodness Dorcas went out of fashion…
ReplyI REFUSE TO LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT HOMONYMS
ReplyMy Star Trek TNG figures very briefly came with pogs instead of actual trading cards (baseball cards??). Wtf. Such a snapshot in time – The one that sticks in my mind is Lore from the episode in the 7th season – I picked up the card and the damn pog fell out of the middle. What the hell pogs????
ReplyThe world can always use someone who can acknowledge their mistakes
ReplyLove that his notes are on a “This area has been cleaned” card
ReplyI feel like the capitalized “CORRECTIONS: in the title is very passive-aggressive, bordering on just aggressive.
ReplyI love that ya’ll can make a comedy also out of a corrections session!
ReplyThis is my favorite segment.
ReplyA word with more than two meanings is not a homonym. Please don’t feel you need to correct this slip.
ReplyHow the [bleep] is this on TV?
ReplyHow can you possibly respond to every response you get on the internet??? That would take you forever. I really don’t think you should do that.
ReplyIf someone is complaining about Irish issues, just give them some whisky and they should be happy.
ReplyJohn Mulaney, good to hear you laugh! I been thinking about you, hope you’re doing well; you are too funny and we need you around for a long time!!!
ReplyHis name was John Rogers.
ReplyTea-Shack?
ReplyNow I can sleep (but, on a mental health level-not with you!). Seth, tThank you for the clarifications. Critics really do have a value…. homonyms? Not the bar I frequent, but yeah… cool
ReplyKeep this segment going!
ReplyI absolutely love these! It’s a hilarious way to show people how important it is to be factual with info! Props to you and your team!
ReplyI actually like this much more than the super-scripted stuff
ReplySeth there’s one more mistake you’ve made that I’ve got to point out:
ReplyThe last time you said “and now it’s time for a closer look”… it wasn’t!
Hope everyone has a great day, but especially John Mulaney.
Reply“That’s enough, Seth”
Replyhow is this on digital? why this exists???!!! appreciable effort but no thanks…you’re not that funny or this bit is not for you…Soooorryy…
ReplySeamus, the staff Irish Poet, doesn’t want a wee taste. He wants a taste of wee. You guys need a consultation, with HR in attendance.
ReplyI love the other segments but I laugh more during Corrections than any other
ReplyHi Seth! I hope you actually read these comments. I’m sure you are very busy. I just want to say, I miss Sea Captain! Occasionally you bring him up. It would be nice to see him again once and a while. I also miss the bees!!! (but not the wasps). Thank you for what you do. Take care!
ReplyNice segment except for the stereotypical portrayal of the Irish as drunks.
ReplyA very brave video! <3
ReplyThat walk for his double-embattlement joke was so long and so worth it.
ReplyWe knew that he was just going to stare back, and we still watched until Amber said “that’s enough”.
Replyjust a minor point here, but in this edition of “corrections” you are wearing a blue shirt. you should not be wearing a blue shirt.
ReplyI like this. Clarity is important.
ReplyIs it just me or is Seth looking more tanned/orange these days? hhmmm.
ReplyThe Irish prime minister is taoiseach. It’s pronounced tea shakh
Reply“I’m both embattled and embattled “
ReplySo, the color of the stairs are amber?
ReplyNot to criticize, but saying you are ready for “those criticisms” sounds super awkward. I feel like it should be “I am ready for your criticism” or “I am ready for those critiques”
ReplyI love this show so much. Seth and his writers are all so funny and I love hearing the crew’s laughter in the background and my queen, Amber Ruffin.
ReplyLove your show with or without the mistakes, Seth!
ReplyGasted? Or Flabbed?
ReplyThe fact that corrections generate more corrections isn’t a problem, Seth, it’s an endless supply of comedy gold for you to mine. And stop bleeping your YouTube stuff!
ReplyI enjoy these more than the actual show. Doing comedy about the ruling class and its rising tide of fascism during a deadly pandemic is probably more important work but this stuff is more fun and fun is important too.
ReplyThere’s something so wrong about this.
ReplyBut also so so right.
I don’t think you gave antonyms equal air time.
Or is it airtime?
I dunno
You spelt embattled wrong
ReplyThis is fun
ReplyJust so you know, embattled is not a homonym just because it has two definitions. Homonyms are words that sound alike but are spelled differently such as there and their or write and right.
ReplyThese are so funny
ReplyI think the moral of this segment is “Always Read the Comments”
ReplyWell done.
Replycolbert trolling
ReplyJohn Mulaney i hope you’re doing well :’)
ReplyKeep doing these bits … way funnier than the actual show.
ReplyLove the format, Seth is such a wonderful humourist.
ReplyGood sirs and madams, pogs were popular in 1994, not 2004. Thus John Mulaney was an age-appropriate 12 year old pog enthusiast!
ReplyLove it
ReplyMy name is Deborah. Just sayin’.
ReplyThat’s too funny that you correct all these things I love it you’re so is amazing.
ReplyTea-shock is how i say it. I’m Irish btw
ReplyTrump staff to trump: You used the English alphabet wrong.
ReplyTwo days on YouTube, almost 1/3 mil views… I think this experiment is going well!!
ReplyITS PRONOUNCED TEE-SHOCK
ReplySeth Meyers looks like the love child of Tony Hawk, Stephen Malkmus, and Russian anti-corruption opposition leader Alexei Navalny
ReplySea, Sea, Smiley Guy–Ba Mhaith Liom Uisce beatha na Albainoch, Seanlin Mhailceirr Dhuv, Le Do Theul.
Reply🙂 🙂 tea-shock …
ReplyI love corrections!
Replythis is the best thing ever
Replyyes more please
ReplyWhen he said he was gonna stare at the camera until Sarah says “that’s enough” I was hoping she’d just leave the room,
ReplyEmbroiled rather than embattled
ReplyImpressive Seth made it through the first two LotR books but gave up on the third. I’d have been committed.
ReplyI love the subject matter and timing. Bravo or is it Bravado. You decide.
ReplyEveryone today it seems is promoting diversity and multiculturalism.
ReplyBut did you ever notice that these things are being promoted in ALL White countries and ONLY in White countries?
Did you ever wonder why that was the case?
Diversity and multiculturalism, if allowed to continue, will turn every White country on earth into a non-White country within a few decades. There will still be plenty of Black countries and Asian countries. Under international law, this is genocide.
Diversity and multiculturalism are codewords for White genocide.
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
Love Seth!!!
ReplyMy bf grew up in Hawaii where POGS got their name. He played with them in the early 1980s. They were milk bottle caps from Haleakala Dairy, the manufacturer of POG juice drink.
ReplyAnyone wise catch themselves having a starring contest with Seth at the end?
ReplyThank you!
Reply6:21 is me responding to feedback from my professor on a paper i started at 11:50 and turned in at 11:59
ReplyIt’s just POG, not pogs. POG is both the singular and plural. It is an acronym for Passion, Orange, and Guava, if I remember correctly. The POG caps came originally from juice containers that came from a Hawaiian dairy company that also bottled this juice. Then they started making the collectible caps solely for the game.
ReplyThis is by far your best material. I only watch your other stuff so I can get the jokes here.
ReplyDid anybody else get uncomfy 5 seconds in to getting stared down and check how much longer the video was?
ReplyHow to pronounce Taoiseach. Tee shock.
Replywhy do you read the comments. wear morons. see, i didn’t spell “we’re” correctly
ReplyAmber!
ReplyA picture of water?
ReplyThese are my favorite thing. Thank you.
ReplyIt’s nice that you do corrections because almost no one ever does.
Replyawesome!!
ReplyCorrections is my favorite show on TV.
ReplyJohn Mulaney is the most John Maleny John Maleny that ever John Malenyed
Replyonly for die hard fans ….my favorite part is CORRECTIONS!!
ReplyI love this
ReplyI feel like these correction segments from your studio do not help convey the seriousness that I know you and your team take processing Internet comments. I personally would prefer to see these segments done after some quiet reflection from your attic desk.
ReplyOmg I loved this!
Replyyou should base your usual show around incorrect facts then do more correction vids this was the nuts
ReplyLuke Skywalker actually appears in the bible
Replyty – iwas in dire need of a laugh and you seriously helped
ReplyThese corrections are seriously beautiful X’D
ReplyI look forward to your weekly corrections more than your actual show. So if you stop them once the pandemic is over I will literally kms thank u
ReplyLooking strong Seth <3 Thank you for these - we all learn
ReplyHow is this on tv
ReplyThe only reason this is web only instead of aired is because the network is run by cowards. They can’t handle how RAW this segment is.
Also, glad to hear Mulaney is back. Hope he’s doing well.
ReplyA wee taste is better than a taste of wee, Seth.
ReplyThe embattled man was embattled about words.
ReplyCan we please have Stephen and Seth engage in combat and the winner decided whither the lord of the rings is good.
ReplyPogs have been around since the 1920s
ReplyNo worries Seth
ReplyI’ll always love you!!!
Xo
So sad you keep referring to the Lord of the rings as multiple books when in actuality it’s one book that is in six sections and those six sections are then sold and published typically in three volumes.
ReplyAnd the third meaning of “embattled” is as a heraldic term for a line that looks like the top of a turret! 😛
ReplyI love these!
ReplyI hate to tell you, but a homonym is two or more words with the same spelling or pronunciation that mean different things, not the same word having two meanings. But do what you want.
ReplySorry to correct your correction but Deborah Reed was married to John Rogers, not Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker was a Jedi, which is like a fancy kind of space wizard. These space wizards are not allowed to be involved in relationships, which would have been a reason why he ran away to Achto. If of course he had married Deborah, which he did not as that was John a Rodgers and Luke Skywalker is mostly fictional, mostly.
ReplyI believe that Luke Skywalker was also from an ancient text called the Journal of the Whills, do with that information what you will.
ReplyMisuse of word homonym.
ReplyLOL
ReplyROFLOLABM!!! I F_@&!ng LOVE this segment! IDK your timing is perfect. For what reason by the end my stomach was hurting from laughing. Before I could finish laughing from previous thing the next one hit. Holy $h!t….. And no I’m not high. How do you do emojies in this? (Rolling On Floor Laughing Out Loud All By Myself)
ReplyI laugh so much watching these. I love this segment
