There's no comedy here or anything educational. It is simply, what it is.
I never knew that the Rankin/Bass Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special changed over the years. This video explains how.

Ads and Online Tracking
The big topic of conversation at this year's Thanksgiving was online tracking
The long and short of it was that everyone agreed that they were being tracked but everyone differed in their level of discomfort with it.
If this is something you're interested in, here's a really interesting article about how online tracking works and how Duck Duck Go is a new search engine that doesn't do it.

Jontron - Flex Tape II
The first third of this video is very reminiscent of the (Canadian) Newsroom three part episode "The Meltdown". "The Meltdown" was a brilliant homage to Fellini's "8 1/2". The idea for Fellini's "8 1/2" came from getting ready to make a film and forgetting what it was supposed to be about. Likewise, I forget where I was going with this.

Rich Evans on Ellen
Rich Evans is so famous that other celebrities have to talk about him in interviews.
For the origins of Dick the Birthday Boy (the modern origins), check out Best of the Worst: "Night Beast, Trick or Treat, and Skull Forest".
But how did this happen?
Rich was raised by his grandmother and she's the one that designed the shirt. No one really questioned it in sort of a "what grandma wants, grandma gets" kind of way. After Rich's grandmother died, Rich asked his friend, minor internet celebrity Mike Stoklasa, to help him go through the house to sort out her belongings and throw things away. Mike found the photo, put it in his pocket and didn't tell Rich about its existence until he sprung it on him for Best of the Worst. Rich had no memory of the shirt, the photo or the way in which it fell into Mike's hands, so his reaction is genuine.

Mystery Diners?
This video posits that "Mystery Diners" is the worst show on tv. Is it? Well first I want to know what even is a Mystery Diner?
This video starts out a bit rough but stick with it, it's redeemed by great bad reality show acting and great bad reality show twists.... and some great editing.
