3 minutes…. 90 views…. you know people are really really really waiting for this. 😳
ReplyIn before New Message!
ReplyWoohoo! My favorite part of Friday 🙃
ReplyAlright, so. This is not so much a correction as a complication, but for an English speaker, the plural of “thesaurus” _can be_ “thesauruses”. The word itself comes from the (Attic) Greek, θησαυρός [thēsauros], the plural of which is θησαυροί [thēsauroi], so following the linguistic root, the plural in English _should be_ “thesauroi”. This, however, is not really an accepted formulation (you’d have some explaining to do saying this at a cocktail party). The form “thesauri” comes from the erroneous tendency to pluralize Greek *and* Latin root words ending in [-us] with the *Latin* nominative plural ending [-ī] (see, e.g., the generally accepted plural form “octopi”, despite the Greek roots), regardless of whether the word was originally Latin or Greek. All this said, there is really nothing wrong with the natural, nativizing tendency to pluralize according to English morphology, and go with “thesauruses”; languages do this all the time, and it’s certainly accepted in the dictionary (listed _before_ “thesauri”, in fact). So, points to you, Seth — “thesauruses” is just fine.
ReplyTurmeric? I believe you… but… it’s too late for me. Like Lego. I’m still gonna say TOO-meric. And Legos.
ReplyYou mentioned “Two Party Verification” when referencing a the security mechanism behind an exclusive invitation. The term you should have used was “Two Factor Authentication” (commonly abbreviated as 2FA).
ReplyLmao😄 Impossible to imagine that sweet lady that is your Mom forcing you and Josh to chug bottles of wine
ReplyPlease don’t make this shorter. It’s needs to be longer. I look forward to this every week!
ReplyCorrection: The ‘Summer of Sam’ was in 1977, not ’76.
Replyfor clarification: 1 bottle for both you and your brother or each? 1 bottle for 2 people seems reasonable lol
ReplyThe D in LCD stands for Diode!
ReplyI wonder if next week people will point out that turmeric can in fact be pronounced tuːmərɪk so he was only wrong on the spelling which we could not in fact see but indeed did need correcting
ReplyDigital Exclusive is not that exclusive < somehow this whole thing is the opposite of Stefon telling you how special this random club is
ReplyWhat is the story behind the figurine of the Michelin Man with Andy Samberg’s face and the speech bubble “MY DOINK FELL OFF”?
ReplyIs this bit written by John Mulaney?
Reply“Lie berry” is a great sorbet flavour
ReplyAs soon as you said Tumeric, I thought “This had better make it to corrections.” Did not disappoint.
ReplyThe corrections segment is brilliant 😂
ReplyWhy do Americans refer to the queen of England/The United Kingdom as “The Queen”? There are lots of other queens in the world. And it’s not like she’s your queen…
Replyi need at least 20 mins of this
Replysnow white is also 14 so the 31 year old prince found a dead child in the woods and decided it would be a good idea to kiss her so extra gross
ReplyI do not understand why I love this so much. It seems like it’s objectively and intentionally terrible. And I love it!
ReplyThe jokes on this show are top notch!!!! The Thesaurus correction joke was 👍🏿
ReplyDid you mean 2FA?
Two Factor Authentication?
LoL..
Replyactually according to several dictionaries you can choose to say the r in turmeric or to not say the r, both are fine.
ReplyThat would be “no fewer than”, not ” no less than”…
ReplyNo man, Lieberry is Tucker Carlson’s late night talk show flavor!
ReplyI would buy Steph Breyers. XD
ReplySeth, I have a para-social connection with you that I hope you really cherish.
I also hope you straighten up your act, and own it like a man.
“my brother AND ME”. no FEWER (FEWER!!!) than 500 of us didn’t hear our apology.
“lotS (S!!!) of British people” or “A LOT of British people”.
this was hard to watch.
ReplyThanks.
prince charming on snowwhite still not as bad as hhh and katie vick
Replyseth meyers is just turning into larry david and i love it
Reply😂 had me laughing out loud. Love what you all are doing, keep it up. No audience format is so much better, feels like hanging out with buds.
ReplyI’ve only heard it said Tumeric…
ReplyThis is becoming my favorite thing on Youtube.
ReplyLooking forward to next week’s correction about two factor authentication vs “two party authentication”
ReplyNo FEWER than 500 of us. 9:16
ReplyI watch Late Night by setting up a Handi-Cam in front of my TV to record the show, and then and I watch the recording on an analog RCA TV from 1994, specifically to defy the label of “digital exclusive.” What is this, 2007? We don’t need “digital exclusives” anymore. What we really need are analog exclusives.
Replyi sincerely hope you never stop making corrections. it always makes my week. love it and you <3
ReplySon of Sam killings began in the summer of 1976 but folks in NY weren’t aware that these were the work of a serial killer until later. First murder victim was July ’76; second was October of that year.
ReplyAccording to merriam-webster, both pronunciations of turmeric are correct, so Seth wasn’t actually wrong saying “too-meric”.
Replythank you so much for heeding my correction of your mispronunciation of “turmeric” and including it in your show as requested. 💟
ReplyTwo party verification? Will they edit this week’s corrections, will they include it in next week’s? Or will they just not issue corrections in “digital” “exclusives”?
ReplyThe fact that this segment is purposefully loose and off the rails is the best part.
ReplyAre we not talking about how Seth was off by a year on the summer of Sam bit?
ReplyIt’s TUMeric, tum as in dumb, not tume as in tumor.
ReplyThis is literal comedy gold!!! Did you steal that nice leprechaun/troll from Iceland and bring him to your set??
ReplySnow White was dead AND 14 years old. Sooo, there’s a lot there.
ReplyThis is the best segment and needs to become a staple!
Reply9:59… Shoemaker perfection.
ReplyHere’s a correction: If these are digital exclusives and don’t air on television, then you don’t need to bleep swear words right?
ReplyTurmeric?! 🤯
ReplyCorrection: If you plan on doing this next year or sometime in the future, it might be helpful to name the title of the youtube video or wherever it is uploaded “CORRECTIONS: Week of May 3rd, 2021” so there aren’t two videos titled the same somewhere down the line
ReplyThis is now my favourite part of watching Seth. Keep it up guys.
ReplyI want this section to be an hour. It’s the best thing.
ReplyAnd the “T” in often is silent by darn.
ReplyF’ing hilarious.
ReplyI think Corrections is now my favourite segment. Please never stop making mistakes Seth :’) <3
ReplyIm thinking you are messing up just so u can do this skit
ReplyThis is the highlight of my week.
ReplySeth being salty over Colbert’s Ameri-cone Dream is amazing.
Replythis is my new favorite bit. thank you lego
ReplyHe said Prince Philip went on to marry the queen, but he wouldn’t have been Prince Philip before he married the queen, just Philip
ReplyThe last one was the best one, a real paraprosdokian.
Replyi love it when he insolts us XD
ReplyI fucking love these. Also, Seth should definitely get his own B&J ice cream flavor. Wtf, B&J. Get it together.
ReplyNo FEWER than 500 of you…
ReplyHappy Mothers Day Mom where ever you are, I miss you! R.I.P.
ReplyI love this
ReplyNot as funny as Trevor Noah, but I could see why lots of people watch late night shows. It would be better in the future that they don’t go back to a laugh track and have a more laid back attitude like they do nowadays. Only good thing that came out of the pandemic is how these comedians let their true talent shine without any special sound effects or laugh tracks telling everyone else to laugh at the jokes.
Replylol the delivery on the “my brother and me” punchline
ReplyIf Prince Charming is considered to be rendering aid to Snow White, then when someone loses consciousness then they are considered to have automatically given consent to whatever aid was provided. So, it was consensual.
ReplySnow White’s prince isn’t Prince Charming! He just “The Prince” but is also known (due to merchandising/marketing after the movie was released) as “Prince Florian.”
Prince Charming is Cinderella’s prince.
ReplyThese just get better and better. My brother texted me this morning: “Happy Corrections Day!” I look forward to it every week!
ReplyThis brings me joy…move Stefan back front & center & move derpy to the back. I miss Stefan!!
ReplyA lye berry is the disgusting product of the lye bush, and from which we manufacture the powerful base, lye.
ReplyI so which they never stop doing this🤣🤣🤣
ReplyLCD is liquid crystal diode not display! back before LCD was used in monitors
ReplyNoooooooo it’s “my brother and I”
ReplyI tried (unsuccessfully) to correct people on their pronunciation of “turmeric” for years and in the end I just decided that it’s a thing in some versions of the American dialect. If you guys wanna make it even harder to remember how words are spelles by pronuncing them weirdly, then go for it.
Reply<3
ReplyI would buy Late Night Amber Says Nuts. Come on B&J. Make it happen!
ReplyTo add to the Snow White story, she was only 14 and her Prince Charming was like 31. So in my books he kissed a presumably dead GIRL, not a “woman.” 🤢
ReplyNorthern Irish gnomes can still work in Iceland because they can claim Irish citizenship.
ReplyYou said “a far more likely outlook” when you meant to say “outcome” xoxoxo
ReplyOne of my favorite segments! But keep it online, it’s like it’s our little secret
ReplyAmber laughing off screen! Made my week
ReplyRe: Kissing seemingly dead princesses
Necrophilia is a serious mental illness, and we should not ostracize those struggling with it.
ReplyUmmm…no fewer than 500 of you…? I would have been #501; the I/Me error grinds my gears…lol
ReplyThese are the best, please make them longer
ReplyIts the Quantum leap of late night show segments!
ReplyElon musk is the richest man, I don’t know who needs to hear this, you’ve got stop saving money, invest some part of it, if you want financial freedom.
Replywait wait, you guys didn’t get a special invite?
ReplyAnd it’s actually known as two factor authentication.
ReplyAnd stop your whinging
ReplyIt’s pronounced to w**** is Rex
ReplyThe cards…it’s the little things!
ReplySeth, please, I would give anything for this to be a podcast.
Reply* no FEWER than 500 people …
Reply“Two party verification.” You mean, “two factor verification?”
ReplyI literally hate everything about Seth Meyers!
ReplyI really liked the Thesaurus joke. I was disappointed, bummed-out, saddened, depressed, there was no audience reaction.
Reply“oh, it’s really long”
…sounds like a _personal_ problem there
–Dave, failing to work a YER MOM into this
ReplyThanks for the chuckles.
Reply🍷🍾 BIGGEST MISTAKE YET, Seth, just asking us to get to 500: You’re overcorrecting, and getting it wrong!!! 😆
Reply“She would make my brother and *I* drink a full bottle of wine” should be “She would make my brother and *me* drink a full bottle of wine” … getting your brother drunk as well, changes nothing about the fact that if he _wasn’t_ part of it, you’d still just say “She would make *me* drink a full bottle of wine” … you’d only say “She would make *I* drink a full bottle of wine” if you were, in fact, drunk during corrections. No? Cheers! 😜🍾🍷
Hilarious
ReplyThank you 🇦🇺
The original sleeping beauty he did more than kiss the “dead body”
ReplyDamn, I was hoping he had in the correction I noticed, when he said Road Garden instead of Rose Garden 😂
ReplyWas waiting for the correction for an Irish fairy, elf, gnome or troll, and heavens to Betsy there wasn’t one.
ReplyWhat! 😱
An Irish supernatural being, I thought everyone who spoke English knew this, is a Leprechaun! 😨
Begorrah Seth, you and your audience and your staff all fell down the rabbit hole on this one.
Very disappointed I am. 😎
Nobody say’n anything about gooven a torial?
Reply8:36 is exactly the length of time it takes to figure out which of my brother and me and my brother and I are correct and therefore which he wants
ReplySeth, my man, as one of those 500 f***ing a**holes: thanks for sharing. Stay safe, we love you.
ReplyIf anything, I think Corrections should be longer.
ReplySnow White’s prince depends on which version you’re watching (on Once Upon a Time Prince Charming was her prince), but usually Snow White’s prince is Florian, Charming is Cinderella’s prince, and Phillip is Sleeping Beauty’s prince.
Reply“Dear President Biden!I would like to make you a Proposal regarding the issue of the Minimum Wage.There would be no problem with bankruptcies. And why do I talk about this topic safely?Because I was an eyewitness and intellectual witness of what happened in Germany with companies and factories that went bankrupt on purpose by their owners who left them with their own bags, and the money given to them by the solidarity tax for the reconstruction of the former DDR, East Germany.Investors from their country, the USA, taught the workers in these companies and factories to buy the company and put it on the stock exchange and those same workers who left the employees’ status and became the owners of the company had their efforts Harvesting Profits $$ instead of Bankruptcy.Which obviously had no repercussions in Germany, which is not really a democratic country, much less just and liberal. They quickly stifled this issue and called the same investors, the American investors, with “Grasshoppers of Capitalism”, which was a very low blow and False.This was just one of the measures to solve a problem in the transfer of funds to companies and a solution to the issue of the Minimum Wage.So we leave the company of an owner alone and pass it on to the company of all the Workers who are working there.One can also analyze a Capital for those who want to start their own company in economically weak places.Make this investment with all these smart fronts and put the USA in the magnificent Democratic place that it has always been and are, this the country that we all love, wherever we are.I love the United States of America and I wish you and all your team and management all the success that you all deserve !!
ReplyI had a disagreement with my daughter about turmeric and found out she was right. Then I heard Seth say tumeric so I got all smug. Now he says we’re both wrong.
ReplyLook forward to this every week! Hope you keep this segment around permanently
ReplyDo NOT make Corrections shorter!
ReplySeth you are a comic genius! Thank you to you and your team, I love the interactions.
ReplyI’m just going to say I really like this style with only his staff laughing in the background. It seems so much more genuine and personal. I smile a lot more 😅
ReplyA Northern Irish troll would have both Irish and British citizenship, so they would be able to travel as easily as a troll from the Irish Republic.
Replylol Americans pronouncing various herbs and spices the wrong way is totally normal for the rest of us. 😂
ReplyAnd yeah it’s herbs, not ‘erbs.
The way you say substantive is correct. Everyone else is wrong.
Reply9:18 – Seth, it should be “no fewer”.
ReplyI concur. Thanks for nothing, Brexit.
Replycinderella was not in the glass case that was snow white. [assuming you consider the disney version to be canon]
ReplyNo, thesauruses were not huge, they were a small extinct animal that talked their way out of tricky situations using colorful language.
Replyso there’s turmeric in chili seasoning ?
ReplySleeping beauty wasn’t in a glass case. She was in a bed. It’s Snow White who was in a glass case.
ReplyThis feels like it’s being delivered by the same part of his brain that created the Sea Captain…and yet…refined. Tried by fire. Nothing is left but the cold, calculated so-sue-me Seth and I LOVE IT.
ReplyLol, Necrophiliac Prince Charming
ReplyThat seems longer than a full show
ReplyNoticing Snow White was kissed without consent -> bad prince
Remembering Snow White was presumed dead -> worse prince
What will they say about the prince when they remember Snow White is 14?
ReplyJust don’t add a “D” to turmeric.
ReplyI’m the only one that speaks the Queens….
ReplyNo fewer than 500.
ReplyRipped straight from Conan
Reply“Two party verification” should be two factor authentication. Corrections correction!
ReplyTo the person who stole my thesaurus:
ReplyWhat a bad thing you’ve done. You should feel bad about yourself. You’ve made my day bad.
LCD display reminds me of the HIV virus… ^^
ReplyAccording to the Good Friday Agreement between the UK and the republic of Ireland 1998, people in Northern Ireland have the right to choose if they want Irish or British citizenship, or both. If the Northern Irish gnome really wants to move to Iceland, he either already has Irish citizenship or can easily register for it.
ReplyMy mom says “libary” too! It drives me crazy!
ReplyIf the only way to get a woman out of a coma is to give her a little kiss, wouldn’t you be derelict not to. Princ
ReplyI’ve been saying the plural of thesaurus as thesaurisaurusi, but that’s wrong. Thank you, as old as I get never stop learning
ReplyThese are my favourite. Don’t ever stop!
Replyturmeric pronunciation can be both…
ReplyElongated second repeating vowels are absolutely acceptable. Only people on the east coast of the U.S. think it’s incorrect. Every other regional cadence in the entire world does it.
The east coast, as usual, is wrong in its collective assumption that its standard is correct.
ReplyLCD stands for “Liquid Crystal Diode”, dude. 🤣🤣
Reply4:00 this transition makes me worry about Seth’s sanity more than the rest of Corrections put together
ReplyI love these
ReplyHow about Ben and Jerry’s “Seth’s Bitter Lemon?” Somebody feels unloved…
ReplyI thought when he said “Libarry” it was deliberate!
ReplyHas anyone heard of the location of the new tRump presidential LIE-BURY? I want to see where he’s buried all of his lies. I don’t know but but it’s going to have to be an awfully deep well because his lies just keep on coming like a huge gusher. The last one overflowed. He tried to hide it by blaming BP and calling it the Deep Horizons disaster.
Replyinstead of turmeric one could say curcuma, however cumin is a totally different spice and there is actually no usual cuisine in which one can just replace turmeric with cumin
Reply“This area has been covered in germs”
Reply“all great art is at it’s best, when it is crowed-sourced” 😂
ReplyDigital Exclusive is such an SNL phrase 😂. Corrections should be longer! It needs its own sponsor. “Ben and Jerry’s should jump in and sponsor this and make it a 15 minute segment. Make an ice cream called “Seth Myer’s Biggest Mistake”
ReplyHolding the full bottle of wine gag for a full minute had me doubting my sanity. The joke landed hard! Bravo
Replyalways read the comments first
ReplySeth, I just love how hilarious you are. Love from Brazil.
ReplyI like how the captions at 3:32 say goofy accent 😂
ReplyCanadians also use your pronunciation of substantive too eh?
ReplyIt is “my brother and I”. Not “my brother and me”. Not only is this the traditionally accepted rule, but also the only thing that could possibly make sense. “my brother and I/me” is the subject. “I” is the subject form. “me” is the object form …and the I/me in “my brother and I/me” is (together with “my brother”) the subject. Anyone saying it’s “my brother and me”, is talking utter baseless and incoherent nonsense.
Reply*coo men*
ReplyOh Seth it’s way worse than you think snow white is canonically 12 years old
ReplySnow White’s prince is not Prince Charming – he is just The Prince. That is official Disney – if you get the characters autograph at something. Only Cinderella has Prince Charming 🙂 I am a Disney nerd LOL
ReplyThesauruses is a perfectly acceptable English plural (along with thesauri)
ReplyI just don’t know how you can expect the people of America to continue to trust you as the number one most trusted news source if you make such mistakes as pronouncing turmeric in a slightly different way. CANCEL THIS SHOW!
ReplyWait ’til he hears how many people pronounce it turMERic
ReplyThank you so much for keeping up with this wonderful and hilarious segment even though you have a cold!!
ReplyTumeric is the Nucular of the Spice world.
ReplyThis is the greatest segment on YouTube. I cannot wait for it to end up being at least 30 minutes in length.
Correction: in order for it to get to 30 minutes, I will have to wait.
ReplyNo FEWER than 500 of you… Not No LESS than 500. Jeez. People are discrete units, not divisible like gasoline, for example.
ReplyIt’s actually Thesaur(EEE) not (EYE) the i in latin second declension nouns makes the eeee sound whereas the ae dipthong makes the sound like eye in eyeball. agricola-agricolae vs. somnus-somni
ReplyAnd now the card says “This area has been covered in germs”!!! 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyThis is a great initiative. Keeping it real!
ReplyHope this become the standard across the board
He said he if you don’t keep it under 10:00. This vid is 9:59
ReplyToomrick apologies accepted.
ReplyI love Corrections! Great digital exclusive segment! Suck it TV viewers!
ReplyCorrections are so much fun!!!!! It really is great to see Seth and the crew causally interacting while still managing to make us laugh with all the funny stuff from the week. Also, we do need longer corrections; they are way too good to be short and rushed! This is a great digital exclusive 🙂 😀 😉
ReplyWho cares how long it is? You must hire more staff to serve my demand. Your show’s total running time must be exactly the length of time between my climbing into bed until I fall asleep at night. To make it easier for you to prepare the proper amount of material, keep in mind that I am bedridden. Thus, the time elapsed from getting in my bed until I fall asleep tonight is 21 years. Thank you for your service. 😁
ReplyWell, that thing about travelling visa-free in the EEA is wrong. The EEA has nothing to do with mobility, you were refering to the Schengen Area and Ireland is not part of it.
ReplyThe Prince Phillip joke *almost* went over my crown.
ReplyI love this show! good work everyone haha
ReplyCorrection: you referred to Snow White as a woman. Woman is defined as an adult female human being. However, she is 14 years old when the events of the movie take place. Therefore, she is not a woman, she is a girl.
ReplyYou said “two-party verification”. Technically, it’s “2FA”, or “two FACTOR AUTHENTICATION” (ahem)!
ReplyDon’t feel bad Seth I take turmeric everyday bottle plainly says that and I still say turmeric 😆
ReplyDamned auto correct TUMERIC
ReplyOh damn Seth now the cancel cultures going to say Prince charming was a necrophiliac …….😕
ReplyGreat catch Seth. And it’s not ATM machine or PIN number!
ReplyThose dinosaurs were well-read too.
ReplySomehow I do not think Schumacher sounds the way that Seth makes him sound. I think he should interview Schumacher. we are waiting for this interview Seth. I live in Canada and we need things to look forward to, seriously Seth, WE NEED THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
ReplyTurmeric. . My whole life a lie.
ReplyOh no, from what I’ve read what prince charming ACTUALLY did in the older stories was much more than kiss a dead body. It was the subsequent babies who sucked out the poison that brought her back to life. I don’t know if the old tale indicates whether the babies survived that!
ReplyAnother day, back to re-watch corrections another time 😂
Reply“BRILLIANT!!!”
ReplyTwo factor
ReplyCumin? I suppose you mean Curcuma. LOL. This is a great segment.
ReplyI just noticed the back of Seth’s card says, “This area has been covered in germs.” I mean… sure, okay. But… why? Have they all said this, and I just now got a closer look at the back of the card?
ReplyYou mean curcumin!?!
ReplyPropaganda!
ReplyFirst time I’ve seen this segment. Really funny!
ReplyI’m from East Africa and, in our version of Snow White, it’s not a kiss that wakes her up. While they (I think the dwarves) were carrying her coffin, one stumbles and drops her. This dislodges the poisoned piece of apple from her through and she wakes up. I don’t know where Disney comes up with all these kisses. Every story seems to be about a kiss – even when it don’t make sense.
Replycorrection take your time with these corrections xD
ReplyThis is fast becoming Seth’s funniest segment.
ReplyWay to troll the haters. Full props for making fun of the idiots out there who criticize you instead of simply not watching.
ReplyCorrections just get more hilarious each week. Thanks for doing these bits!
ReplyThese segments are so great! Please continue!
ReplyNeeds to be shorter than ten minutes, 9:59, nailed it.
ReplyAmber’s laugh is infectious!
ReplyI did not expect that. I am sorry, but people bothered to correct these small things. Who cares, move on people. You have families jobs and lives. Focus on those things. Maybe if you did that, the world would he slightly better for it.
ReplyThe pedant in me totally loves this series. Keep it coming and keep it long!
ReplyOf all that, they only heard to correct, “My brother and me!” 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 I love this show!!
ReplyCORRECTION: I think you meant two-factor identification, not two-party verification.
ReplyAlso, have you noticed that the comments in this section are all grammatically accurate, fully written out and correctly spelt and punctuated? I feel this is an audience that has been poorly served since the dawn of the Internet… until now “and we appreciate that”.
ReplyI’m out here schilling for your ice cream flavor with NO RECOGNITION WHATSOEVER, SETH MEYERS. GYAAAAAAH. #acloserlick
ReplyI think he meant two factor authentication, not two party verification
ReplyIn the Grimm Fairy Tale he drops the coffin, she gets shaken around and the piece of poison apple still stuck in her throat shoots out. Then he is breathing life into her.
ReplyDisney however made it a necrophiliac rape story.
Isn’t it like tomato tomato, potato potato?
Reply(insert James Franco same thing James Franco‘s character In The Interview, “Same, Same!”
Hey man, thanks for being the regular guy expert comedy writer, gosh darnit.
ReplyI don’t watch Late Night, but I never miss this
Reply“two party verification”? I’m sorry to have to correct this, but I think you mean two-factor authentication…
ReplyCorrection: I suppose you meant two factor authentication instead of two party verification. Hope you show this correction in next episode.
ReplyLove these corrections. 😁👍
Correction: prince charming didn’t come across a presumably dead woman in the woods, he came across a presumably dead child in the woods
ReplyIf you really spoke “the Queen’s,” you’d never have used “my brother nd I’ as the object of that sentence.
ReplySeth reminds me of Mike Rowe from QVC. If SNL ever decided to do a sketch about his hosting days (which they should, they are hilarious) Seth would have to play him!
ReplyNo *fewer than 500 of you… Less for amounts unquantifiable (less love), fewer for amounts quantifiable (fewer lovers)
ReplyGoing with the Irish visa talk, as long as that Northern Irish person held an Irish passport they would have no problems. If they held a British passport, then yeah it would probably be more difficult. But because everyone born on the island of Ireland had the right to an Irish passport they could get one and not have to deal with any consequences of Brexit when moving to Iceland.
ReplyTHE CARD
Reply“this area has been covered in germs.” subtle.
Replyso much gold, you can’t make these shorter.. please
ReplyThis was so good. Funny
ReplyNot to worry. Even scientist studying creatures of the oceans use the term Octopuses instead of the correct label Octopi. Apparently, correct English doesn’t matter anymore! So, yu cud uz ne dem wurdz ju likin.
Replywhy your audience gotta _troll_ on you?! necrophilia is way worse
ReplyI am glad Seth picked up on how creepy the prince is. In fact, the source material is WAY WORSE. Italian writer Giambattista Basile’s original version of Sleeping Beauty, written in the 17th Century, has the comatose princess being repeatedly raped by the king who comes across her and then giving birth to his children, all while still asleep. … The king then murders his wife so he can be with Sleeping Beauty.
Yup.
ReplyMikey the Shoe! 😂
ReplyThere are people out there who, at viewings, will kiss their loved one who has passed in an nonproblematic way so “assumed dead” kinda works in his favor.
ReplyYou were right the first time. It’s pronounced chew-mer-ick ! Like Tuesday is pronounced chews-day!
ReplySeth: Too-meric is how I thought it was my whole life?
Me the aussie: yeah…oh no how do Americans say turmeric?
Seth: tur-meric
Nope too-meric, don’t know about the British but pretty sure Australians agree with your original pronounciation.
ReplySee you, Debra, Candice and Schumacher at studio 54
ReplyWhen Prince charming kissed sleeping beauty it made her woke
ReplyI consider the Snow White incident CPR. And the Thesauruses were known for their erudition as well as their size.
ReplyPerfect sommelier cher ami. Love from French!
Replycorrections should be longer
Reply.”Turmeric” is an awful, jagged, tinny word & I too have always mispronounced it as “tumeric” my entire life.
ReplyI sit corrected.
Shoemaker said to keep it under 10 min.
Reply*Stops to look at run time*
9:59. Nice.
So, no FEWER than 500 people were hyper-correcting you on that because it is in fact “my brother and I would,” which you know is correct because if you did it alone you would not say “me would,” you would say “I would.” You could say “she gave me and my brother some wine” but it is properly “my brother and I drank the wine.”
ReplyWait, it’s “turmeric”?
I don’t believe it.
ReplyYo, your mom really made you and your brother drink a full bottle of wine? For real?
That seems a bit messed up to me. What are your feelings on it?
ReplyI’m with the 500+ “my brother & me” crowd. The hideously bad phrase “someone & I” is correct when used in the nominative case BUT ALMOST EVERY ILLITERATE plunks “& I” in the objective case. Check before you speak 🗣: if you can substitute We for “& I” then YES, that’s CORRECT. HOWEVER, if you must say US, then you MUST SAY “& ME”! Remember that you are in a leadership position, people model themselves after you. The witless will mindlessly mimic you and teach others your grammatical errors.
ReplySeth’s B&J flavor: Oops! All salt!
ReplyThis is funnier than the show. Just do standup more man, you’re great.
ReplyThe pronunciation of ‘Substantive’ as [subSTANtive] is accepted as a secondary attestation in many US dictionaries; also, the use of it as a noun is often used with this pronunciation, especially in linguistics. So you’re not pronouncing it ‘wrong’.
ReplyIf Ben & Jerry’s is watching, please give Amber a flavor before Seth just so we call all see Seth’s reaction.
ReplyLooooooooooooooooooove Corrections.
ReplyLCD display doesn’t bother me because LCD is both Liquid Crystal Display but it’s also a technology.
ATM is just…… ATM
But LCD could be followed by any number of words
LCD monitor
LCD panel
LCD backlight
LCD driver
etc.
So specifying LCD display isn’t nearly as redundant as ATM machine, IMO.
ReplyThe original Sleeping beauty story is so much creepier than the washed over Disney version. I’m happy that one is disappearing.
ReplyI don’t think elves and gnomes can apply for passports, it is an unfortunate discrimination, that is why you won’t see any elves outside Iceland or gnomes outside Ireland, they can’t travel! Maybe Seth can make a Closer Look investigation into this, this needs to be discussed.
Replywatchmen, you know which character
ReplySeth’s ice cream flavor should be something that tastes decent but gives you diarrhea for four years five years after eating it, call it 2011 White House Press Correspondents Dinner Fudged Us Good or something.
ReplyDoes anyone else think shoemaker is an imaginary friend like the sea captain. I mean who gives their kid the name shoemaker. Does he make shoes or something.
ReplyNo FEWER than 500 of you… 😜
ReplyAll people born in Northern Ireland are eligible for Irish citizenship under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, so it’s not all that much more difficult if they want to move. Many of them will have already claimed this so as to have an EU passport.
ReplyI can’t believe how much I love this segment now!
ReplyNo, you meant LCD screen.
ReplyYou also don’t need wifi to transfer cryptocurrency.
ReplySETH! Damn boy, you are so smart, funny and cute, not to mention how much I appreciate the actual language notes you are giving to yourself and and for which you are taking responsibility for not to mention the commentaries, insights, implicit criticisms and such wunnerful/wunnerful jokes like the one I just heard through my headset as I type, namely, the Ice Cream company you set up so invisibly with the Ben & Jerry set-up and then named Seth Breyer’s: THAT was SO good because also a kind of improv of the little rivalries that egos indulge in all realms, be they members of an elementary school faculty, secretaries in a legal team’s offices city-wide or celebrity talk-show hosts: one of the things I like about your comedy most because you are making fun of ego as well as exaggerating that silliness into the non-sense it is while still getting to express it!
PLUS: & this is true: All THE GIRLS, especially, in Horseheads, New York, actually did say “I’m going to the Li-BARY to study for Fifth Period.” etc. etc. and so forth, no lie that’s how they pronounce it when speaking the full-on upstate N.Y. dialect referred to over years between me and my CAlifornia-born, now-grown daughter CAtherine, who now lives in Madrid and who still, when we are video-chatting as we often do will revert to our “white-bread” accents or a little bit of down-home remembering the roots comic-nostalgia!
I QUITE love you, my fondness for your comedy your intellect and your general cuteness having ripened into something deeper, I discover, as I have been following you faithfully throughout your having taken pandemical refuge at your in-laws with the door, the children, the captain, the duck, Ethan Hawking and —though not like Stephen would have, not even Eddie Red,amyne playing him! If you, as few would probably be quite able to, follow thzt… or —one of my favorite phrases … catch my drift!
Hasta luego,
Best to you and those you love et al.

P.S. I just realized that you have gotten me through this pandemic as Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert got me through the months that followed 9/11: Horribly, my mother’s birthday which she was then alive to experience her birthday having been more or less stolen from her as one heard constantly from the on “the terrorist attacks of September 11th” repeated & repeated ad infinitum/nauseum!
ReplyAnyone else notice Seth definitely took some edibles before work?
ReplyNo he was correct on saying my brother and I my english teacher had a pet oeeve about that. The easiest way to explain was if you take out my brother it would say Me drank a full bottle of wine.
Replymake my brother and me not make my brother and I
ReplyThis is some new form a pleasure pain scenario, sifting through all those comments must be draining, unless you get a little baked and eat doughnuts with your pals.
ReplyPork or pig is correct?
Replymom or mother is correct?
ReplyDamn. That sommelier thing was HARD to watch. And the Oscar goes to
ReplySeth, on May 18th it’s you and Stefons 8th wedding anniversary. Can you PLEASE tell us what you guys have been up to lately and how your marriage has been holding up?
ReplyI want to tell him the truth: only one of those princes is named Charming. Snow White’s prince is named Florian.
ReplyI hate when people say ATM Machine
Reply(Sighhhhhh) I don’t want to do this but… Prince Phillip married Sleeping Beauty not Snow White. Snow White married Prince Florian.
ReplyWait for it: My bother and me
ReplyNobody’s laughting like Amber!
ReplyIt’s really long, but 10 minutes is the perfect amount of time for a YouTube video
Replyno “fewer” than 500 of you
ReplyThis was under 10min Shoemaker will be happy. LoL Loving this corrections segment.
ReplySnow White’s prince was just The Prince. Charming is with Cinderella only 😉
ReplyRe: “My brother and ME” … Hey! It’s “No FEWER than” 500 of us, Seth!!!! …grumble… 😉
Replylet down he didnt say “come in” instead of “cumin”. Try harder seth.
ReplyNooooooo to making it shorter!!!!
ReplyMy brother and I is correct because it is the subject of the clause. You were right. 500 people were wrong.
ReplyAnyone in Northern Ireland can get a passport from the south and therefore Brexit would not be an issue for the Irish Gnome troll when visiting Iceland.
ReplyJust wait until you learn the difference between less and fewer. It will ruin your life!
ReplyLCD is liquid crystal diode. Not liquid crystal display.
ReplyScrolled through quite a lot of the comments and can’t believe nobody tried to correct the corrections: It’s two FACTOR verification, not two party verification 😉 Though I like the idea of having to successfully be approved at two parties before being let into the digital exclusive Corrections zone … “you must be THIS cool to get corrected by Seth”!
ReplyThat necrophilia joke made me guffaw
ReplyTurmeric is something people pronounce wrong all the time but I was wondering if anyone else also pronounces cumin ‘Coo-min’ instead of ‘queue-min’
ReplyMan, this is way funnier than the main show
ReplyI fuckin love this bit
Reply“Kissed her without consent”
Reply“Yeah, way worse than that!” 😂😂
Longer is better
ReplyToo funny. Love Closer Look. I do find it annoying when NEWS people use incorrect grammar, but not required on a comedy show! Also, why can’t anyone pronounce FebRuary correctly?! I don’t think a single person I heard on tv for that entire month pronounced it correctly. It is NOT FebUary! My 2 cents. Love you Seth!
ReplyThesauruses were dinosaurs…huge…massive and very informative creatures.
ReplyI can’t believe that you bleep out the word ‘sh*t’ but not the word ‘w*nkers’…. different rules in the US to here in the UK, I guess!?!*??!
ReplySeth…who ever is telling you you need to keep Corrections of the week short …they are WRONG….we love ’em. Make stuff up if you have to.
Replyi love how you can distinctively hear amber’s laugh in the background
ReplySeth, it’s “no fewer than 500 of you”
ReplyI was convinced Seth was high on the turmeric lol
ReplyGood use of the word “wanker”. Why this term has never entered American parlance is beyond me.
ReplyAh yes, queen Liz’ popular catchphrase “I’M SURROUNDED BY WANKERS”💂
ReplyA couple of weeks ago during Corrections, Seth referenced Lil Jon but said “Little John.” I don’t think he meant to refer to Robin Hood’s friend.
Reply“My brother and me” 😂😂😂
ReplyLove the corrections. Great segment. Gift that keeps giving.
ReplyGood for you.
ReplyNorthern Irish here, we have dual citizenship (Irish/British) and so still have the option to hold an EU passport. Also the country itself still operates within the EEA due to the Northern Irish Protocol 👍
ReplyActually, “LCD” stands for “liquid crystal diode, ” *not* “liquid crystal display. ” So, the point goes to Mr. Myers. Or as Tom Smothers put it, “Touchy, touchy!”
ReplyIt feels so good to just goof off again after 4 years of misery
Reply5:16 That new flavor “Amber Says Nuts” is life. Make it happen, B&J.
ReplyLol!!!🤣🤣🤣
ReplyI think I laugh harder at these corrections each weak than anything else on the Internet.
ReplyIt’s pronounced ‘tumeric’ in the uk.
ReplyLCD, ATM – just two of the acronyms that people repeat the last letter as the actual word (display and machine, respectively).
Reply*I want to see a blow-up of the back of that notecard* !! I looked for it online and I can’t find it.
You referred to Snow White as a woman when in point of fact she is a 14 year old girl.
Replyi love that the notes are written on the back of some card, they do well with reusing materials
ReplyAccording to the original story, the prince did not only gave sleeping beauty a kiss. He actually gave him 2 pregnancies as well. One of the kids searching for food sucked her finger and removed the flax from her finger (which had the curse).
ReplyAlso, the “prince” was a king and he was already married.
So kudos to Disney for taking a horribly creepy rape story and making it just a consent warning
As god is my witness this has become my favourite part of this whole show. 😂
ReplyIf it makes you feel better it’s pronounced “krerkem” in Arabic with a soft K
ReplyYou said 2 party verification but it’s 2 factor verification.
ReplyNever get your audience back. Show is so fun casual now. Love it.
ReplyPlease don’t cut the time down. We LOVE corrections. I could watch this for 20 minutes every week. Seriously…
ReplyI think I speak for everyone here, Mikey the Shoe is everybody’s favorite recurring character
Replytechnically speaking Turmeric and Tumeric both work, its just a case of Elision. Lots of words experience elision within languages overtime, often due to certain sounds in the words no longer being pronounced, and eventually the spelling changing to reflect that.
ReplyLove corrections 🤗
Reply(a la Jim Gaffigan) “Hey buddy, I like turmeric. It’s delicious in curry and it helps fight depression.”
ReplyAmber’s laugh is wonderful.🤣😂
ReplyLCD does not stand for “liquid crystal display.” It stands for “liquid crystal diode.” There is nothing incorrect about saying “LCD display” because you’re saying an abbreviated form of “liquid crystal diode display.” That’s accurate and completely correct when referring to a screen using LCD technology.
ReplyThesauruses is a perfectly correct plural of thesaurus. Also correct are octopuses, cactuses, etc.
ReplyCumin rocks
ReplySubstantive is both
ReplySubstantive Cumin Thesaurus is your new flavor
ReplyI comment this every week out of fear this segment will go away, but I love this so much
